Before and after

[vc]

I posted some pictures of a calf I sold to a friend of ours awhile back, he got a clipping lesson and roughed him about 2 weeks ago here are the before and after pictures. Let me know what you think. He is out of a DR Who son and an Ali first calf heifer.

Unrelated to the clip job, but this calf really needs a hoof trimming. Not a bad job at all for a 1st time out clipping.

It is the calf in my avatar. He has grown quite well. Best part he is dog gentle and never missed a meal.

That's a really nice steer and a great clip job for a first-timer.  I would, however, clip his tail shorter.  Typically, the tail is clipped so that it is level with the bottom of the brisket.  That is usually about level with the hocks.
