I have a shorthorn steer I taped at around 975 pounds last week. My county fair is in 2 and a half weeks. 900 is our min weight but I'm concerned about any weight lost with stress. He's been a really slow and poor grower the whole time I've had him. I've been trying hard to push him with what I...

I have a pregnant Heifer (I thought 6 months max) who is acting like she’s in early labor. Is a false labor possible? Could it be a sign of miscarriage? She’s pacing, getting up and down, pressing her head into the wall, and it kind of seems like she’s straining too. She’s also won’t eat, and...

What are your opinions on best adhesives? I’ve only worked with weaver and wanted to see if anyone has had better experience with other brands. Also, does anyone have any tips for working with adhesives on a colored calf? Paints are illegal around here and I don’t like the white it leaves!
