    looking for mar steer

    We still have an early Aprill HW calf with a little chrome. He is real nice and getting better since he is now on full feed. He could be ready by July in the right hands. Broke to show, tame as a cat. Loves attention and stands well for washing and grooming.

    is 50 degrees too cold to wash calves?
