I have a couple heifers that were born in February that seem to hit the nail on the head as far as genetics go. I was wondering how some of you start your calves (when you start giving them grain, what works what doesn't, etc).
Starting to pick out some bulls for the 2016 line up and American sniper is one that seems cool but don't know much about. Looking for some discussion from those who have used him or seen him in person
Thanks

As for the appetite issue I would look towards...

I'm a procrastinator. I have show entries due today and I haven't decided what I want to bring yet. I have the option to show a cow calf pair which is where my issues lie. How young is too young to bring a calf to a show? Is there trailering specifics I need to know about hauling a cow calf...
