    Would you buy a dog from....

    I think that the name is really Okefeild Acres. They spell it that way numerous times on the website. I believe its pronounced "oakfeld" instead of "oakfield" and they have the correct spelling of their own kennel name.

    Th in Shorthorns

    If she is bred to a negative bull, there is no chance that she will have a dead calf from TH. You have to have 2 recessive genes (one from the dam and one from the sire) for the calf to be dead. You will have a 50% chance carrier and 50% chance clean if bred to a negative bull (I think those...

    Which clipper to use.

    I would get the Andis 2 speed with a #10 blade, blocking blade, and a medium blending blade. All work wonderful on clipping calves for show.

    Wagyu cross

    At school we slaughtered a wagyu/simm cross and he graded low prime. I'm not sure how old he was but he looked like a dairy cross - not a lot of back fat but a ton of IM fat

    Abused Mule

    When you break an animal before 800# you don't have a problem. When you wait is when you can get hurt so instead of dragging the animal get out to the barn and break it when it is younger.

    Eclipse anyone?

    One of ours cows had a salute heifer in April. She's really thick and hairy but I would not use him on heifers, she was about 95# when she was born.

    What breeds??????

    I agree with the shorthorn/ red angus cross. We have some red angus cows that have that short, fat neck and head like the calf in the picture.

    Most Hated Show Calf Chore?

    I love blowing out the cattle (and two blowers with a splitter makes it go really fast) but I hate their clipping heads.
