I will definitely try this! Thank you!!

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that yet! Thanks!

Thank you!! I'll make sure that people listen to me from now on. And thanks!! He's not perfect but I'm really happy with how he looks right now!

Awesome, thank you!

Hey everyone! I've got a problem that I've never encountered before and I need some help. One of my steers is really afraid of strangers. Background: I bought him at the end of October as an unbroken weanling who was known to be pretty nervous. His only personality trait was basically being wild...

Was there something you fed instead that they liked better? Something else that you've had good results with?

He's looking pretty good, I'd try and work that leg hair really well so it pops

What do we think of the Sunglo feed? I've heard some pretty good things about it, but I'd like some more opinions. Also, if I'm feeding it, do I need to add a mineral supplement or is that in the feed?

Also, I was reading somewhere that you wet down cedar fiber, would I do the same if I'm just using regular pine shavings?

Awesome. So we apparently don't have a 16 foot panel and it'll have to by 12x12 now, would that still be adequate space for them if they're getting turned out? At the moment they won't be, but once it warms up in April/May and on they'll be out at night and maybe for a few hours during the...

Hey everybody! I'm currently trying to figure out a setup for my calves to keep hair on this summer without disrupting the rest of my family and friends who keep calves at our place. For reference, we have a 20x50 foot run-in shed. All but basically a 12x16 ish foot square is being used, and I'd...

Goodness! Smart little heifer, I guess?

Oh, that would suck so bad!!

Oof that sounds a little scary! Glad he came back on his own haha

Hi guys. My friend's heifer recently escaped the pen and ended up running six miles before we were able to catch her. We know she ran over piles of wood, rocks, roads, and rough land, and possibly piles of metal too. Yesterday we noticed she wouldn't put weight on her left hind foot when...

So every year, our steers (and heifers when we have them) get out at least once. Sometimes it's an uneventful 'lead them back in' and other times, like today, it's a literal chase through the city involving police, local cowboys, and many other member of the community. Does anyone else's...

Thank you a ton!

I'm interested in this steer, but I'm concerned about the length and angle of his neck. Is it good enough? Will it lengthen out or get shorter and thicker? Is there a way to encourage stretching and lengthening (assuming I get him)? Besides his neck, what are his other flaws and strong points...

Hey everybody. As I'm starting to look for calves again, I'm curious: What traits do you look for in 6-9 month-old steers that show what they'll turn out as? What do you look for and avoid? How do you know how a calf is going to turn out? How much of a role do the genetics actually play in this...

Thank you for this, it was super decriptive! I didn't see this one before I left, but it'll be super helpful for next year (and maybe some jackpots before the next fair)
