[QUOTE="5minpins, post: 521120, member: 8097"] thanks for the nice comments, I got em started on the grain slowly as they didnt know what it was and wasted it if I left it out for them. Now they get a little exuberant when I show up with the grain can. I looked up as much info on galloway as I could because the horned steer looks just like one. that shaggy hair is like 6 to 8 inches long in places. smaller type beef cow? Anyone have them? I do watch that haylage bale, that stuff rots fast and if it gets warm it starts smoking in the feeder, I kick it around a little and it dries out. I built my own round bale feeder, these two havent torn it apart yet so I am doing ok there. These two are by the same bull and they are about 2 months apart. least that is what I am told. I bought them from a guy up the road last fall. I think the polled steer is the older of the two. was just hoping the horned steer would pick up a little better, he is always sunk in right behind his ribs and is just slab sided. well no matter I guess, bet he will still taste better than the grocery store stuff :) after these two are frozen I plan on finding a beefmaster breeder in this state (Washington) and buying 2 cows to breed and raise a beef for me and one to sell. I only have about 13 acres so have to keep the cow herd pretty small. [/QUOTE]
