I tried this product.  I won't be using it again.  I've had a great experience with BoviPryn!

Just curious...has anyone seen any good Tryon calves?  I can't say if I think they're good or bad because I Haven't seen a single one.  He was born in 2007.

I guess I get a little concerned about the air flow of the barn you have designed.  I see where you have the two doors to the outside but I think that it could be pretty stale feeling on your other isle.

I didn't have any big ones out of Style.  Mine are all straight angus.  I know his BW EPD went up but the calves we've had are shaped to come out.  I used him on heifers and will continue to do so.  Like JWW said, they do have excellent hair!

Style will clean up fronts, give you a cool look, and give you excellent hair.  I would just make sure that you breed him to a stout cow.  I used him again this year and will continue to do so.  I think he may be better at making show heifers than his sire.

Me too............after I grafted two more calves on her!  She looks like she could more than handle it!

You're right about the age. 

Andersons won the Angus Junior Nationals with a Dameron heifer.  I haven't seen her for a while but she was wicked the last time I did.  The Bloomberg heifer is also really cool.

Is this just in the junior barn or is this for the open barns as well?

Well, I don't put fans in the tie-outs but I usually use misters.  I wonder what their reasoning for this is.  Looks like my hand fogger will be getting a pretty good workout.

I ended up having a couple of them.  When they are born they don't look real good.  In fact they were probably the ugliest newborn calves that i've ever had.  However, they get better fast!  Both of my calves ended up being bull calves and were born the May 30 and June 2 so they still have a...
