That's the kind of thing I want to hear! I just honestly don't know. You would think with all the nutrition classes I've had in Animal Science at NCSU I'd be able to figure these things out, but nutrition is sometimes way over my head. So instead of the Golden Flo what would you suggest...

I've been feeding a simple diet with a 14% protein pellet (2.5% fat) and beet pulp, along with all the long stem hay my heifer will eat. I'm now wanting to fill her in around her hooks and loin, just to smooth her out. She just needs some cover! We ordered steam rolled corn, but I'm aware that...

I am trying to choose what bull to breed my heifer to, and have narrowed it down to TM Gus, Hillside Leader, or Martindell Blaster (at least I think that's right?). I am pretty sure I will be using Gus, but I wanted to get an idea of what the other two bulls looks like.. any clue as to where I...

yeah they're right.. i was thinking about showing when i said 50%! sorry about that!

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely be getting one. I hate blowing my heifer out and going over her with the regular comb just to see the hair lay flat again. I was hoping the fluffer comb would solve my problems :)

Are fluffer combs really worth the money? I'm thinking of getting one if they really work. Thanks!

I am also considering fall heifers as well. Thank you!

Olson, do you still have that heifer for sale? I know I talked to you about her but I wasn't positive we were buying another one at that time. If so, please send me anymore pictures you may have and a price for her! [email protected] Thanks!

That's the best kind! :)

Good ol' East Coast rednecks. Hahaha.

Townview, could you please send me pictures of the heifer? My email is [email protected]. Also, where are you located? Sounds like you might be pretty close considering you're selling her in the TN sale!

I am looking for a registered purebred shorthorn heifer, either a January, February, May or April. I already have a March heifer & would like to make sure they are in different classes. I am located in North Carolina. Please let me know if you have anything! Thank you!

You all have been so helpful! I really appreciate it. I like having other people's opinions. She's actually my first Shorthorn, and also MY first cow. (Dad's always had Angus.) I also have 6 embryos.. 2 CF Solution x Matindell Rhonda, 1 Double Stuff x Brookwood Charmed Rose, and 3 Sonny x...

Thank you! Chiller isn't exactly a calving ease bull though is he? I just want to make sure she doesn't have any problems this first time around. Here are a few more pictures of her to give you a better idea of how she looks.. (The last picture is before she was clipped or washed.. she had...

Thanks for all the replies! And for the compliments!  :) She's 9 months old in these pictures. She's somewhere between moderate and large framed. I think she's gonna be a bigger cow!

Here are some pictures of her!

I have a Jakes Proud Jazz x Ka'ba Leader shorthorn heifer. What would be the best bull to use on her? I'd like to have a purebred shorthorn calf but I'm worried about birth weights. If you know of any good bulls to use on her let me know! Thanks!

50%.

Thank you so much for the input! I'm just starting my own herd.. Dad's letting me go on my own for the first time, I guess you could say. I have a Jakes Proud Jazz x Ka Ba female heifer that I will be showing this year, my first heifer. I think she's going to be pretty good! :) I'm glad to know...
