[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 646071, member: 8265"] Thank goodness I don't eat the eyes! :) Well, I suppose like Dun said - good nutrition and genetics, hopefully. He is still getting 2 to 3 quarts of milk daily, as I milk his mom once daily and need him for the other milking. Besides the milk, he just gets some weed/grass hay for which I paid $20 per ton. And being a slower growing breed, probably doesn't take alot of nutrition. He was my first banding job - haven't done alot of castrating, but always liked to cut and see evidence of success. But since everyone is banding now, thought I'd better follow the crowd. Now that I think about it, hormones aren't everything with muscling, considering that some cows are thicker than others without testosterone. [/QUOTE]
