Has anyone tried fabric softener as a means to help straighten curly hair on cattle?

May First Impression.  Opinions welcome.

attached american classic bull calves... have been very pleased with this sire....  both came a week early / weighed 72 & 75 lbs at birth and have exploded in growth.  really like the power that they are demonstrating and the top in these calves

SEK has Slider Semen... have had very good luck with the company and buy most of our stuff through them

seems like black cattle do better in our area... have always stayed purebred angus and gotten along really well....seems like either reserve or grand each year... 1st year we had a angus cross out of Ali & last two years have used Style, Providence, Lookout,  This year have a Hobart & a Sankey's...

Any luck with them and are they worth the cost?

yes it is appearing to become a issue.  It seems odd when a heifer of the same age doesn't have much of a tail ball and the rest of the class does and towers over the top of her.  I can see genetics playing a little part in cattle size but the thing with the ones that are being aged is you will...

thanks for the comments.  She is kind of overdue for a pedicure so ya in this picture she is standing a little flat footed, but that is getting taken care of this Saturday... have had her turned out for awhile to freshin up.  Her last show was in September & until a couple weeks ago hadn't had a...

July 2013 C&C priority heifer

depends on if you want show or beef.  I have seen that normally the two don't cross paths often.. I like the first class calves for show... So I found a cheaper option to first class and used C-5 American Classic... have seen some heifers out of him that I was happy with and have heard his...

How are the American Classic Calves.  Birthweights?  Growth?  Look?  I used him on two second calf heifers this year. 

he gets bunk fed in the morning & gets fed seperate at night, but all the show calves are tied side by side and just eat out of their own pans at night. He weighs 730 & figured should be eating approx 15-20lbs/day.  His night time feeding he gets about 10lbs of feed and usually leaves some. ...

I have a Angus show steer that is not aggressive when it comes to eating.  We have tried several things.  a couple different kinds of feed.  We are Top Dressing with Sure Champ.  He still doesn't eat well.  Opinions welcome not sure how I am going to get him to gain like he needs to. He...

we use a roto brush & will also use one of the rubber scrub brushes you use at the was rack.  constantly work it up

This is a March 2014 Bull sired by EXAR Wanted out of a Iron Mtn Heifer.  First calf heifer.  We are planning on showing him this upcoming year 2015.  First show is KS Angus Futurity at the end of January.  Average Daily gain rite now is 4.3lbs/day Opinions on him would be apreciated.

haven't used pellets yet, but if your animals are used to pellet feed I would use this because of texture and they will more than likely eat it better..  If you get them used to eating the shreds wet I have found that to be some of the best results.. Soak it in a bucket for a while and let it...

agree to all the above,  Hot Sweat works really good... just make sure you wash it off each morning...start sweating the necks about 2 weeks before a show.  It really tightens them up nice

Market Heifer you will feed more like a steer, because that is your goal with her.  Market Ready, so you want that cover just as you would with a steer.  Make sure the market heifer's front end can handle being pushed like a steer, because you dont want to ruin her front end for show purposes. ...

Look for smaller local producers that would let you pick from a pen of several heifers.  The ones that may not concentrate on show calves specifically, but there is usually a few that would do well in the show ring.  We have bought 1500-2000.00 heifers and done really well that way. ...
