Chewy does have some hair, thin, on her back end and peach fuzz over the rest.
I tried covering her but she sweated terribly so i removed it. Luckily, her skin will turn black so it wont be like she's pinked skinned and she should be protected some.
I totally understand that her outlook isnt good. I'm really surprised she's survived this long. If you threw me out naked in this weather i wouldnt survive. I'd keep her up but her mother is really hard to deal with. Out in the pasture she's ok, but she doesnt want locked up and is difficult moving her around in the corral when we need to bring something in. So out they went.
We saved a very tasty looking steer for the freezer this year, was looking forward to eating something that wasnt defected. But, seems we are getting quite a line of defects. We have Sara Palsey, a heifer who walks with a wobble and didnt get bred. We'll eat her. We have HM(hurt mouth), had her face crushed by a falling tree limb during the ice storm we had and cant nurse anymore. Although she's really sweet and i dont think i could eat her.
So, anyone who is interested in a grass fed angus, we'll probably have one for sale later on.. :?
