Another thing with the teenager is his smell. It drives the cattle beserk. Something about that teenager funk. These are my two pet heifers from pet cows. Super gentle.
The teen shows up they will start bucking and trying to give him a head butt.
This teenager that works for us deserves his own thread of a breed. His mother is a drug addict and his papa is in the penitentiary. Lives with his grandfather next door to Doc so he tried to take this kid under his wing and give him an after school job. Time will tell if this was a good idea...

We also have variability in the nutritional value between silage cut on hilltops versus the stuff we get out...
