Both calves were hairy this past winter. The one and only heifer was extremely hairy/more than the QDog heifer.  For example, her belly hair had to be 5 inches long and it looked like her belly was touching the ground.  One good thing about them being in the cooler, they look fresh and developed...

cpratz, I am in Oklahoma as well.  I assume you are an OSU fan.  If so and nobody else is having problems, it must be because we are OSU fans.  ;D

That is what I expected to be able to do this year with our new cooler but so far I the results are pathetic.  It seems all I have to show for all the work we have done is a decent sized electric bill.  They get combed and brushed morning and evening and it just seems like they keep losing hair...

My kids two heifers have been in the cooler for 5 weeks.  The cooler runs constantly at 40 degrees and fans are blowing on them.  They are blown off prior to going into the cooler and when we take them out.  In the morning I spray a show sheen mixture on them to help fluff their hair so the fans...

I second the idea of using Tempo.  That stuff works great for all types of bugs.

Quick update.  The calf's rear hoofs both had a split on the inside rear portion of each hoof and a small case of foot rot.  After being treated with Kopertox and given a shot of Nuflor yesterday afternoon, he seems to be feeling better this morning. Sure am hoping this treatment will eliminate...

I had our animal chiropractor look over him last night for any structural issues and he didn't find anything wrong with his hips or back.  He feels confident something is going on with his feet.  I called around and found a vet I have never used before that has a table and can get the calf in...

I haven't noticed a smell, but at this time, I won't rule anything out until a vet looks at him on a table.  Really need this calf to get to feeling better so he can start gaining weight again.  Sure need to be able to get him finished for OYE.  I weighed him the other day and he weighs about...

Hard to explain, so I attached a picture of a hoof with an arrow pointing at the area that I think could be causing the problem. The picture is not one of my calves just found it online.  I think the gap between his toes continues up past the top of his hooves by about an inch and is causing the...

Thanks herfluvr and DL.  Wet hooves isn't the issue for sure because the weather here has been extremely hot and extremely dry here for the last month and a half.  Also, when I wet him down I clean out his hooves with water and feel all over his leg down to his hooves, I haven't noticed any...

My daughters prospect steer has been having nothing but problems with its feet ever since we had his hooves trimmed back on the 30th of June.  I know white hooves are softer than black hooves but I have owned others and they never had this kind of trouble.   I have soaked his foot numerous...

I Am Legend Heifer For Sale - Born 9/24/11 I am selling a very high quality show heifer sired by “I AM LEGEND”.  The heifer (Legendairy Lady) is a registered ChiMaine and is out of a Myers, Freestyle Houdini cow that is owned by Dean Kephart/K-Bar Ranch.  She was born September 24th, 2011. She...

Well some of you asked for pictures of the calf that I am thinking about selling.  I took some pictures the past couple of days of the heifer. None of them have been photo shopped and I am not a professional photographer (probably can tell by just looking at the pics.  

I wasn't trying to tease you all about my sons heifer.  Just wanted to get some honest advice before I posted the ad.  I will go ahead and put her up for sale now instead of waiting until after the fall state shows in Oklahoma.  The wording for the ad is almost finished, need to take some new...

Currently my kids have four show calves, two heifers and two steers.  Our young heifer that was born 9/24/11 was sired by "I Am Legend".  She is real impressive and could compete at the national level.  Since my kids are 9 and 11, they are not ready for that level of competition.  I am strongly...

Thanks for the information and picture.  If I can download some pics of our One and Only steer (daughter calls him blackout) off my digital camera soon, I will post his pics and see what you all think.

Bump.  Hard to believe no one on this site owns a steer or knows of someone that shows a steer out of One and Only. 

I agree with "outspoken" regarding calves being too straight.  Both Alia steers that my nephews have shown ended up having walking issues.  One became too straight on front end and the other became too straight on the back end.

We have two steers at home we will be showing at OYE.  When we brought them home, people were slobbering at the mouth over the Eye Candy Steer.  He actually won Reserve Breed Champion at our district show weighing only 420 lbs and only 5 months old.  When the same people looked at the One and...

They are in the cooler from approximately 6 in the morning until 8:30.  I feed them their morning ration before putting them in the cooler.  If they don't eat it all, I put the rest in the cooler.  They don't get any hay while they are in the cooler.  It really flies around and don't want it to...
