[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1730345, member: 24816"] There are some individuals that shed of slick and early and some that don’t shed off till late and some that never seem to fully shed. It’s been something I’ve took notice of more in recent years. Our summers are fairly hot and humid but not as much so as areas further south, although with our fescue based pastures, I figure our cattle should have hair and shedding qualities similar to those further south. I had a BWF cow that was bought as heifer that had a long heavy almost wool looking hair coat. She spent the summers in the pond. She didn’t get bred on schedule and was culled. [/QUOTE]
