[QUOTE="Lilac, post: 1660687, member: 41400"] The small homestead I bought him from had him on a dry lot with the other heifers and steers that were born at the same time as him. All the others were standard sized angus and the right size for their age (also his half siblings). I also got to see his sire and dam. I believe the age is correct, the family were very thorough when telling me about him and all their other cows. I poo/branch pick everyday and I rake the douglas fir needles once a week, but my 2 longest property lines have HUGE douglas firs the entire length. This spring my property is going to be clear cut and I'm redoing all my pastures and paddocks, but until then I'm stuck with the trees. I've NEVER owned an animal that wanted to eat the needles so I really didn't anticipate this was going to be a problem. My horses are currently on my property but they will be going to a boarding facility Feb. 1, after that I would LOVE to start looking for a bovine companion for him. My only concern is his lack of personality. Hopefully he comes out of his shell. I don't want to start looking for a companion until I know he can handle himself. Honestly I want him to stay on the smaller side. I just want to see more muscle on him. He definitely didn't get the best of the hay when pastured with the other cows his age. When I went to see him he was by himself eating the muddy hay that blew through the fence line from the adjoining pasture. I'll start the probiotics and vitamin B tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
