So my girl will be a senior next year so we've had some pro pics taken and wanted to share. A couple with our February bull calf

Its been a while since I've posted. I always saw people talk about how good it felt to win with their own animals. Well this year my daughter has gone from fair to great with her heifer. Most of the heifers she's ever shown have been her homegrown animals. After five years of breeding up she...

We have a pushing 10 month old bull. He has been trying to mount some of our cows which is not my concern. My concern is I have never noticed his penis come out of his sheath. There's no swelling or apparent injury or discomfort that I can tell. Is this a problem and if so what might it be? I've...

Just got forwarded an email. The email is from an Indian family who just bought a new home. They are wanting to rent a cow to walk through their new home before they move in. In their heritage it is considered good luck. If nothing else it might be an interesting endeavor. Just found it funny...

I will preface the following by stating i am already biased towards the young man of whom i will speak. Last year a young man in our ffa was kicked out do to the fact he tried to get a teacher fired over false accusations all because the teacher would not attend an event that he wanted to. The...

I have searched and read a little on some past post but was still coming up with questions. We have a 6 month old bull that we just weaned. Currently we are feeding him developer ration and hay. We are planning on showing him a little. My question is at what age should we change from a developer...

A while back a posted a pic of a bull calf and had some people ask for pic of his mother. She had a partial pic with him. Got a couple of her today with phone so they're not the best. Her calf is next to her in some of the pics. Not sure why but photos came out upside down I will try to fix.

He is a first part of march bull calf. Just wanted to share the pic. Updated: pulled him from mom last Wednesday. Demeanor is great. By Friday my daughter had walked him washed him dried him and we gave him a rough clip job. Not standing exactly right for good pics kind of has his back feet...

We just purchased a heifer that's been branded. The brand is starting to peel off leaving raw looking hide under it. My question is what's the best way to treat this? Leave it alone or use something on it? I've heard using grease or oil but I don't know what kind. Any help is appreciated.

Just wondering out loud. Why can't cows/heifers calve anytime other than late or early as it may be. Had one calf about 2am Sunday a week ago and as I type watching daughters show heifer in labor. Good thing I love cows and my daughter.

I don't know that my daughter will end up showing this calf or not but wandered what this bull calf would class in Texas shows. In the picture he's a day old so I know its hard to say for sure what he will become but with his color I don't know where he'd get placed. His mom is Brangus and his...

This is my daughters first heifer to show. She is a bred and owned late April calf. I was hoping to get a few outside opinions on her good points and her bad points. She has shown twice and finished second in class first time and first in class second time. These were both smaller shows so I...

I have a calf that's going to be cosmetically dehorned. How long does it take for a calf to recover typically? How long before they get back to being able to handle every day routine?

What is the shortest time anyone has successfully shown a calf. Successful meaning no run away or unruly behavior from the calf. I am talking not halter broke taken off mom and base start to show. We have a well mannered heifer calf that is about to be weaned. She has been around us and will...

This is a picture of a couple of our heifers born this year. Both are sired by an Easy Deal son. The on on the right is just over 2 months old and the lighter calf is just under 2 months. We are excited about the older of the two she has really been coming on. Better yet she is out of a heifer...

I am afraid that one of our cows has been bred back by her brother and was wandering the easiest way to abort the pregnancy without setting the cow back. If she is bred she would no more than a month along. She's a registered Hereford and we are wanting to breed her to another bull. So I guess...

We finally got a nice day to go out and mess with the animals today.You can tell from the picture that it was still quite wet but none the less a pretty day. This is the same bull calf as in my avatar just older. He is just over 7 months old now. I know it is just one picture taken from my phone...

Stealing a thought from another post on the champion Hereford at ft. worth this year, what true Hereford sires make the thickest calves? I know that most of your Hereford steers that show are not 100% Hereford but have registered Herefords that could use thickening up a little.

I have a heifer that just aborted her calf. I know what the recommendations for waiting after a cow or heifer calves out but did not know if the same guidelines would apply after losing a calf. She was somewhere around 5 months along. I am going to try a give her one more chance before shipping...

Shoot away with the good, bad and ugly. Picture was taken last fall when she was about 4-5 months old. Second picture is the heifers mother.
