hairy ears

ppl say that the more hair on a steers ears the more hair its gonna have but im looking at a steer that has tons of hair rite now but not much on his ears will he have hair in the summer if kept in a cooler

personal i love big fluffy ears. If you put a calf in a cooler and do it right and give it enough time to develop then your going to have hair. the thing about the ears i feel like its on every calf because i had a calf with huge fluffy ears and the calf was big in the summer with a lot of hair. i know everyone loves coolers and i would love to have one but all we use is grow n shine and hard work. my parents believe 4H is so post to build up your work ethic and responsibility and i believe it has.

Every calf we have ever had that had hairy ears end up with a ton of hair. We have had calves that were slick during the summer but had hairy ears and by fall they had tons of hair. When ever we had a calf with hair but not hairy ears once they lose the baby hair its hard to get them to grow much hair.

Gotta agree those hairy eared calves always seem to be better haired with age.
