thank you everyone for the feed back , i have a couple questions though, if i were to cut them off and feed it back to him how long till i see results? and do i just need to pull of one? can i just use pliers to pull one off instead of cutting it? squeezing the wart is an interesting idea too...

hello, I have a bull that i am showing and he has a few good sized warts that need to be taken care of. I did some searching on here and found that most of you like to cut them off and feed them back too them and then put iodine where the warts use to be. My bull is white and i am concerned...

using a dairy cow to raise an ET or orphaned calf could be done with a milking shorthorn. some friends of mine raise and show milking shorthorns. They only keep their show cows at their house and instead of milking only 5 or 6 cows they just leave the calves on the cows and the calves do just...

I have a Salute heifer bred to Gus that is due the middle of April and i am pretty excited about this calf.

English Longhorn with the horns?

I fed my market lambs on a ramp that was set at a little steeper that 45 degrees. It sure helped to build up their hind muscles. I have never heard of this method being used for steers but i would think it would be work a try. As long as they have to stretch (especially their hind muscles) to...
