Anyone have ideas on how to grow hair on steers with just fans and not using a cooler.
flacowman said:Put your pen under a big oak tree and get a fan on them if at all possible. In my experience natural shade is ALWAYS cooler than a barn, cheaper too. Last year I put almost 3 inches of hair on a steer for a September show (in FLORIDA i remind you) with an oak tree, 2 30 minute rinses, 1+hours of brushing, per day and a big squirrel-cage fan that puts out 3 times as much air twice as fast as a turbo running 24-7. It can be done.
Steer was a golden child by the way
