The water pressure tips make a big difference!  Check to make sure the intake tube is not clogged and then put the low pressure tip on.  That fixed my problem just recently when I bought a new foamer.  Sometimes, if your shampoo is too thick, I add a little water into the shampoo and mix it up...

That just means adding something extra for that animal at each feeding; not mixing it into your entire ration.  If you need help finishing one, you can't go wrong adding Stabilized Rice Bran.  You can buy it at Tractor Supply - it's a horse fat supplement.  It puts a nice smooth finish one a...

Going in this Thursday with heifers; what can I expect for staging/ waiting to unload?  Any tips?

Considering using him on some heifers. Anyone know how big his calves are?

We've been using The Green Stuff and really like it. Makes hair grow and really healthy. They have a Facebook page.

Thanks for the suggestions!  This heifer's sire is Red Revolver which is a son of Red Reward. Her Dam is SULL DJS Cherri Goose, daughter of DJS Cherri and SULL Grey Goose. Would Red Hot be too closely related?

Is he proven heifer safe?

I am deciding between K-Kim Hot Commodity and Red White and Roan. Haven't made up my mind yet. Marc's Hot Commodity is interesting too!! 

Thanks all. Plan to breed her this month and will then pour it to her! 

Very helpful - thanks!!

Suggestions for improving the appearance of her hooks and pins set I'm thinking a little more condition and hair with the right clip job??  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

I was looking at him. His semen is $100 compared to $30 and $50!!

Never tried it, but love The Green Stuff!
