My last post has been a while, but if you remember my family and I are pretty new to this - during our fair I heard basically that feeding oats is bad for hair growth - as I heard it, "oats burns hair." Truth to this or not? Our little prospect that I wrote about before is eating more grain...

I had written approx 10 days ago about our stubborn prospect - at that point I was really concerned about how he and my kids were going to get along on show day, which was today. Glad to be able to report that he led and set up very well - for cow/calf my daughter (11 yr old) led the cow and my...

We made progress tonight - had two halters, a chain halter held by my daughter and I was "backup." I had to take charge a few times but he didn't "win" so I was pleased with that. Chain seems to be convincing him that stubbornness isn't a trait that will lead to good things for him. Still...
