    He might make a nice lightweight steer for your summer shows and if good enough,  go to Texas for their winter majors.

    Best way to grow hair without a cooler

    I suggest you change your password so your sister cannot do these things. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

    Best way to grow hair without a cooler

    My cows enjoy standing in water as I have limited shade. I have had no trouble with heat on my Belties. I did have a Hannibal/Heatseeker cow that always struggled in the heat. She was probably TH, though I never checked. Some Belties have more hair than others. Half bloods show diminished hair...

    Fellow Hereford Breeders!

    Would not call last two bulls heifer safe if that was your thought. First one would work on them. For four year old athletic (not small or fat) cows, the last two bulls would do very well.

    Dark barn Melatonin implants Feed supplements that lower body temp Frequent rinsing and working hair with a brush Fans As cool ambient temp as possible All help, but are not guaranteed to put hair on Genetics make a huge difference. This heifer had none of the above.  Pic taken after First rinse.

    Belted galloways

    This cow produced the National Junior Champion from Louisville and the dun heifers shown above.  She first calved at 26 months and every January since, always producing my best show calf. I plan to flush her this spring. She is not small and would do very well as a donor for a club calf. I...

    Belted galloways

    There are different 'strains' within the breed, so picking larger framed cattle will be in your best interest. My Beltie cattle are of a larger type than some.  My bull is almost four now and is not quite a frame 5 and about 1800 pounds on grass and hay only.  He should get to about 2000 pounds...

    I raise purebred Belties and know of only one guy who has gone clubby on them.  He used Who Made Who and uses a half blood Who/Beltie as a clean up bull. Generally, the purebred Belties are more valuable than club calves.  Commercial and half bloods may work very well for you as clubby...

    Hauling cattle

    Cost me $400 each to ship two Belted Galloway heifers from Illinois to southern California. It was a pain because I had to meet the driver 45 miles away on his schedule.  It took three days to get there as I recall.
