Aaaah, Justin, do does the "we" in your comment mean you'll be handling this heifer for TJ?  Maybe it's time for me to make a trip to KY to finally meet you in person!

I also tried the goldfish route but found it ineffective.  Maybe I didn't have enough fish in there (10 feeder goldfish in a 100 gal tank) but in my case the algae just kept coming.

Only if he's so light boned that had he been in a commercial feeding situation, he wouldn't have held up to step up to the bunk and compete with other steers in the lot.  Theoretically (and I DO mean theoretically), I suppose the steers you show are supposed to mirror what works in a feedlot. ...

Nice heifer, TJ.  I can't imagine having to use fans to grow hair.  My Lowlines have always been hairy beyond belief by Fall.  Bet she'll blossom with hair in time for the shows!  Where do you think you'll take her?

And there is no message.

Semen tank and ai equipment.  See the info on my website on the "Wanted" page.  www.genesislivestock.com.

I'm trying something new on my website.  I've added a new page for Stock Dogs.  The dogs have to be a recognized herding breed, or combination.  This site gets a lot of traffic from livestock producers/owners.  It seems logical to list them here.  First 5 ads are completely free so I can get the...

Sounds like you'd better get her on a bottle, the sooner the better.  That sunken in look indicates dehydration - probably not getting anything from anyone unless you force the other cow to let her nurse.

My biggest concern is that the calf is now approaching3 days of age. Did you get any colostrum into her after she was born?  You can only hope that, maybe, she got a little from the dam when you weren't watching.  Is she strong and vigorous?  I think she'd be pretty weak and dehydrated if she...

Ditto.  It's so far off the original topic that I have nearly forgotten what we were talking about. 

I cropped out the extra 'stuff' in the pic for you to emphasize the steer more.  If you'd rather not have it this way, just let me know and I'll take it down.  Really nice looking animal, btw! Dori

For the horses we only used it as a vacuum, not a blower. 

I had one of those for my horses when I used to show them.  Groomaster?  Or something like that?  I'm loving this thread.  It has brought out all the SP grownups - refreshing!!

Oh, yeah!  Exactly what I was referring to with my "fur flying" comment at the beginning of the thread!   (dog) (dog)

I think it would be cool!  Otoh, I can also imagine the fur that could fly if some of our "testier" members went at it!  (clapping)

Let me chime in on Matt's note.  I really like the heifers and if you want to be sure on the first calf, you 'could' use a Lowline.  Nancy, of Lazy G Lowlines, has a dynamite red bull (Bluey) who would be a "marriage made in heaven" for the heifers.  There are Lowline breeders out there who...

Love it!!

Ditto.  Just toooo cute and look at that hair!!!

Never mind her eyes and the fact that she's WAY cute, that's a great picture!  You caught her just right and framed her in the foliage perfectly!

Just a word of caution for you, Frosty:  Don't take these increasingly intense reactions lightly.  I have been stung about a zillion times.  In the summer, it's not 'if' but 'when' I"ll get stung on the farm.  I and my family have various seasonal allergies and some asthma but no one has ever...
