[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 982525, member: 17767"] Jeanne, that is Star. She is 13 months old now and the one you said was built like a brick you know what. She is out of the first heifer I bought from Keith. She was very small at birth, I assume Keith had her mother bred AI to a CE bull that resulted in the little calf. Her mother died of what I think was bloat. I found her in an area which I had just cleared with my dozer and seeded in beef pasture mix. It came in as a lush stand of Ledino Clover. I think she got too much. Star was about 3 1/2 months old. I drove up and she was standing at the entry gate bawling her little head off. I knew the score right then. I raised her with all the care she deserved. She is extremely gentle but self assured. She was starting to head butt me. I started giving her a slap to the side of her nose with the flat of my hand. Not hard. It totally broke her of that. I pet her everyday. She is more disciplined than my Blue Heeler, Blue. I could never get rid of her. She will live her life under my care for as long as we both shall live, Lord willing. [/QUOTE]
