    I think it is taking it a step too far, and that it looks a bit childish.  I do however think it might be a cute idea for a little kid and their calf, but otherwise I think it is just too much.

    ***** I am not planning on working with them each right now, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do it once the 3 to 4 months mark hits

    Efficient daily hair care?

    In the past I have only had a couple calves to do, but this year I am going to have at least 5 animals to work with by myself, and I have to leave for school by about 7-7:30.    Do you rinse them all at once and then blow them all? Or how do you find you can do it the fastest and most efficient?

    How can people justify buying a steer for $25,000?

    Oh no! I am not complaining, and I'm sorry if it was taken that way.  Whether people want to admit it or not, we need people with deep pockets.  I was just curious if there were any "average Joe's" out there who were doing this and if they could justify it.  I will admit however, that there...

    How can people justify buying a steer for $25,000?

    Will they make any of it back, or is just a hobby?

    How can people justify buying a steer for $25,000?

    I am seriously curious about this.  I can understand when someone puts $50,000 into an outstanding female because she can be flushed and you can get multiple offspring out of these cows that will then sell, making you your money back. But I have never understood steers that sell for $10,000 to...

    The picture you have of Shock and Awe on the Bull Bracket is not the correct bull, Star Lake's Shock and Awe is a Hereford.

    Hannibal Bull?

    Does anyone have any experience with the bull, Hannibal?  What are his cows like? What kind of calves they have?

    Draxxin, Micotil, Nuflor

    Draxxin is really expensive.  We use it mainly for new animals that we've bought coming in as a precautionary vaccine, it kills any shipping fever or bugs they may be bringing in.  It's kind of an all-around one thing fixes all.  All the big feedlots around here give it to the calves coming in too.

    Pictures of Walks Alone

    I have noticed that a lot of calves this year were sired by Walks Alone, and I was wondering if anyone has any good pictures of him, I havn't had much luck finding a good one. Also, has anyone seen him in person? Opinions?

    Holstein as a Recip?

    We use dairy cows to put our orphaned calves on, and we will run between 2-3 per cow.  We use both Jerseys and Holsteins.  Although Holsteins produce more milk, I prefer to use Jerseys, they have higher quality milk, they are quieter and more gentle and I find they take the calves a lot better. ...

    How common is a false heat?

    I am not sure exactly how common it is overall, but I know it is much more common in heifers.  My bred heifer has come into what appears to be full blown heat every single month since she's been bred, but she's been pregtested to calve beginning of February.  The vet said it has something to do...

    Thoughts on this steer?

    This year, I fed the shit out of my calf, and he finished out at 940.  I was hoping for him to be 1200-1250, but he just didn't grow.  It sucked!
