I like your bull, but would like him a lot better if the picture flattered him more.  He appears to be standing on unlevel ground, which throws him out of balance.    <rock>

My opinion may not be considered "liked" by some, but I think for the long term viability of any breed, or "discipline" (dairy, club calf, etc) which may include several breeds (composites or crosses), we should strive to remove genetic defects in the same manner as AQHA finally handled...

I would say you have a crossbred cow    <rock>

it will work, though not as efficient as a regular blower...

smart move!   Hind sight is always 20/20....but in the future, get your daughter involved in the breaking of her calves at the outset, not when the calf weighs a half ton.   IMO, if a child isn't old or big enough to help break the calf, then it's too early for them to be showing a calf.    I'm...

how long has your daughter been feeding this calf?

thoughts and prayers from Florida are headed your way..! 

yes...but don't forget, you then walk them back down.    <cowboy> what might be even better would be to walk in "sugar" sand if you have any where you live.  If not, hills are good.  I used to walk my show cattle 1.8 miles per day, about .2 of which was sugar sand (orange grove). good luck! ...

i like it!    <rock>

I think he should have plenty of time on his hands now..!  <rock>

I'm not a shorthorn person, but love the cattle on your website, and truly sorry to hear about your family's loss...  Best wishes!!  (angel)

please PM price and where in Indiana.    Also, I would like to see other pics of her, preferrably showing her feet and front/rear photos...  Lastly, do you have photos of her past offspring? thanks, David

i really like her hip, depth, and while she could use a little cleaning up in her latch, age may take care of 90 percent of that "problem"...    I like the heifer! <rock>

what type of A/C unit is it??

why not go to the source?   How big is the swamp, and how much water is standing.   You can spray all day and all night, but if you have shallow standing water, they're going to receive reinforcements on a daily basis.   If the water is deep enough for small bream, stock the swamp with some fish...

what type of halter are you using (Johnson halter, regular rope halter, etc)???

<rock>  Right on the money.  When "breaking/training" cattle, you train as if the cow is a horse....and train to release of pressure.

my honest opinion is he will make a "so-so" bull....but a really nice steer.  of course, it's still a little early to tell.  <rock>

I thought it was funny to see how much 2.5 years might change people's thoughts...  (pop)
