Ruka. Dont know why but I've always loved that name and Ive never gotten to use it. ^_^

He an Angus and Wagyu cross but that is really interesting about cutting the tendons. Something I would have never thought of.

My friend is in her second year of raising steers and I noticed that one of them is really stiff in his rear right leg. He rolls off of his left hip and seems like he doesnt have full molbility in his right leg. She is going to buy 200 dollars worth of cellerator to see if it makes a diffrence...

The way you said blowing up and forward is the quickest way for me to dry my calves. It only takes me about 10 minutes.

Wow they are gorgeous :D

The only thing I've ever seen is when a calf is tied up for some time with a long lead. My friends calf got the lead wraped around his back hock while he was laying down and his head was suck down under his belly. Luckily someone was there to let him loss. Personally I'm not favorable to letting...

It could also be Joint Ill. Just as Daisy said consult a vet as soon as possible.

I agree. We use so much paint, oil, and glue we cant even see the animal underneath. Just slick sheer the lot and leave it at that. If your not proud of what you got then don’t show. We even have people who shave the cattles tail so that the butt will look bigger. Ever steer show ive seen at the...

Last year a girl had a calf who was really sucked in so she sprayed shaving cream into the holes, worked it in a little, then sprayed it with black paint.

The weirdest thing I’ve seen is this steer got spooked by a paper bag and he just took off running into the fair. Luckily the public wasn’t let in for a few more hours. But he ended up over by the games and rides. He wanted to win a gold fish for one of the cute dairy heifers back at the barn ^_^

What i uses is rolled corn. The price for it right now isnt to bad since the corn prices are starting to rise. But if you dont prefer rolled corn you could try using peanut oil. Gives them that fat and it does wonders for their coat.

What my friend did with her steer was she would wash him once in the morning before being fed and again late afternoon before feeding him dinner. It promoted hair growth and the hair was really soft. you can try that and see if it helps them grow out of their baby hair sooner. Another boy from a...

Best method ive found is what Daisy suggested. I Just put my calf in the stanchion and put an ice pack on his neck for 20 mins 4 times a day, then just rub the spot. It went down within a couple of days.

funny but true :)

I have holstein calves and i wean them when their about 450lbs. I just up their grain and hay then lessen the milk so they are still full and happy.

One of the most important things is you dont want your heifer to be fat like a steer would be. If she is fat, fat will forum around her uterus and it may cause her to stop cycling.

wow that sounds so exciting! Ive only showen at our local fair up here but the fair is always fun. :lol: But were not allowed to have water fights at the wash rack or we get yelled at for being “unproefessional". Some people just wear cowboy hats to hide their horns. But like you said about...

Just interested in hearing about other peoples experiences and times at the fair and in the show ring. ^_^

Wow very good questions. Quiet a few of them stumped me and I had to refer back to my aggie book ^_^

Depending what your using them for I guess it would vary. If they are for Prospect Steers, Steers, or Show Heifers then I would guess around 5 to 6 months you would wean. But I buy my calves at 2 days old and wean them when their 4 months old since they're used for Baby Beef.
