So let me understand... You just look for the cow that all the other ones follow and this is your leader or is there anything you can do to make a cow a leader? Also, why is it that I always hear about a lead steer? Are cows naturally inclined to follow a steer? Thanks, Andrew

I have a question: when you say "hold her there" you mean to restrain her such as in a small loading pen or just entertain her with feed until the other ones come in? Andrew

Do you have any ideas how we can get away from the commodity market? Andrew

Holy cow! This is one muscular black bull. http://www.laueranch.com/images/charolais5.jpg Andrew

Wow!!! I'm glad I asked. Black/Baldie is important in this area as those calves bring more at the sale. I've had a few white calves and they got docked bad. Thanks a lot, Andrew

I'm not asking for a herd analysis. I just want to know the phenotype of the cross. That's all. I would assume they'd be black since black and polled are dominant genes. I just want to see if anyone has that type of cross and what the calves look like as far as color. I'll try and put it a...

Okay, these are some of the cows: This is the one that chase me. This pic is about 1 months before she calved. She's supposed to be a Brahma X: This is a horned hereford: This is a polled hereford: This is a another Brahma X: Once again, I'm going by what the sellers told me. Andrew
