Estrotect-We curry comb the area really well, wipe the are with included gauze rag (not really sure what that does), spray a little tail adhesive on and slap the patch on. They stay on for months.

Works as part of a total fly control program-tags, back rubs, sprays etc. How well it works also depends on your neighbors fly control program...or lack of.

If you have 2 steers tie them together. Metal halter? Have someone walk behind him and pop his heels with a buggy whip? A change of scenery will help. If you are walking him in his "home" pen. Get him out in the yard or open pasture.

I noticed several of the top lots in the Cream of the Crop sale are bred to Red Iron.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056BYP86/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 I just bought one of these. Used it at 2 shows. Runs quiet. Remote start is the bee's knees. Not a Honda but for $400 bucks delivered to my door, you can't beat the price.

Second the grill brick. Also deworming.

Our show is in May and we use Feb and March calves. They grade choice, weigh 12-1400 and gain 4+ lbs/day for the 150day test. We usually have the opposite problem of them getting too big and having to hold them back. We showed commercial Angus type steers for years, but the last couple of years...

I would say some calves are unbreakable. I have similar experience as you. Broke and showed my own steers as a kid, helped my brother and a co-worker's kids in between that time and my boys got 4-h age. They are now 14 and 17. So like you, I've broken 100+. We have always done it the hard way...

Used on 3 PB Angus Mitty heifers. All 3 unassisted and really nice. Only complaint is that we got no chrome except a little white on the belly. Was hoping for baldies. Used him on a Macho daughter and it just didn't go well and we will leave it at that.

Not like you are going to make a white calf black with it. Just gets rid of the red tint some black cattle have. Use it all the time. We have no rules against it. No different than black finisher, or black mousse.

3 calf crops into our PB Angus experiment, I would say go with a majority of Meyer sons. You can pick, but Macho is gonna be tough to beat. Maximus is great also but you are looking at semen cost of $50 compared to $30 for Macho and I think a saw a sale on Climax at one of the distributors...

Anybody ever try one of these on a calf. Been searching here for shedding advice and tools. We have a couple of splotchy calves. Combing and rinsing daily. Haven't tried the grill brick yet. This made me think of the furminator we use on our lab. Thought we'd give this a try before ordering a...

We have great results with this. http://www.nustock.com/ Really gets the hair growing back quickly.

We are in the middle of our third calving season of our PB Angus based attempt at building a club calf herd. 1st year we bred 6 PB Angus cows to Macho. Outstanding results with 4 out of 6 having some form of white marking on the face. 4 of the steers were shown in our area steer show of 170 hd...

Is there a way to view it now?

2# per head. Will make whatever hair you have look better even if you don't have "hair" genetics.

We have good results with calf manna

If you don't want to cause problems, have your boss give you the $550 and take it where ever you want and pay the difference. My 2 cents
