Never really understood this issue. Maybe the first or second time out to a show they might do this. We really don't have a problem with them eating or drinking. Sometimes I'll filter the water if they don't like the smell of it. Never had to use any products to keep my cattle looking fresh though.
I really like 1300lb 8 month old calves... So she was born at 85lbs and you had her gaining 5 lbs a day. Sure I believe your awesome feed program. Louisville is the worst. Last time I was there I saw some crazy daily gains.
I'm sorry I live in the now and AHL hasn't been relevant in the state of Texas since I can remember. I don't really see them winning any where else either. So show me a major show champion since the year 2000.
