[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 667642, member: 7275"] If you come to the State Junior Angus show in Brenham next week, You will note that most of the healthy heifers have been slicked off for the summer. About the only way to keep good hair on them during the summer in Texas is to keep them in a cooler. If you do that you are taking a chance on your heifers health everytime that you take her to a weekend show. If she's good enough, I'd keep her slicked off all summer then concentrate on hair this fall. We used to run fans and misters all summer but that did not help them grow thick hair. It just doesnt get cool enough at night. About all it did for us is to help our cattle grow better through the summer. Oh I almost forgot something. Cooler temps help grow hair but it also takes shorter exposure to sunlight. Like the short days of winter :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
