I have a Solid Gold heifer that I am trying to break for my kid's 4H market heifer.  She has been crazy from the beginning!  She immediately tried to take me and not the "I'm going to bluff until you leave me alone" type....the only reason she was stopping is because she was hitting the end of...

I like to see pictures of all different types of calves so I'm going to post some of mine.  I have crossbred cows (3/4 Angus) that are going to weigh 1350 lbs or so.  We just started dabbing into AI'ing for our kids to show at our local county fair (which is pretty low key). Carpe Diem Calf
