Thanks! Last ones I took that showed the extra muscle did. My guess was around a dime.

Did you have heart surgery?
Cardiac rehab...
Been there..done that and got the teeshirt to prove it..literally.
It wasn't bad other than having to drive over to Kingwood and back 3 days a week for 12 weeks and it did me a ton of good.
My B-I-L dropped out after a few days and he's had breathing trouble ever since.

Slick, hope you have great recovery!
Edit - and your cattle look awesome - as usual!

Ky hills said:Nice looking calves in the video. I don't know much about Piedmont's have only seen a few. Used to be a bred heifer sale in the mountains of east Ky. There for a few years a consignor would have a few piedmont's and crosses. They looked like good cattle to me though those did seem a bit lighter boned and smaller than I expected them to be. Always wondered what kind of cows they would have made.

I know I sound like a breed pimp, but I think you'll find both with pieds.

You need to enter your steers in a beef challenge. Hitting prime is more difficult than what your led to believe.
