[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 615715, member: 5362"] Had a calf a few years back that was without a doubt the sorriest looking bull calf I'd had born on the place at that time. The only reason he didn't get banded when I tattooed and weighed him was that I forgot to pick up new bands and I was out. Every time I'd go out and check the cows, I would say to anyone willing to listen " I gotta band that sucker. " This went on for about 3 months, then one day I went out to check the cows and saw this pretty good looking calf standing in the pasture, and who would have guessed it was old ugly butt calf. I know they don't change over night, but he sure had me fooled. Anyway, to cut a long boring story short, he went on to be calf champion at a couple of shows and reserve grand at another for his new owners. Oh, now I'll wait to around weaning time on most calves, :) to make any real decisions. Although I'll ship one first calf heifer and her calf this week if I have time, for a lack of quality and growth in her calf that was born this fall. [/QUOTE]
