[QUOTE="dressageophobia, post: 400457, member: 6651"] Gosh, from some of these posts you would have thought I invented war, pestilence, plague and herpes, instead of just buying two young herford heifers?????? :) Gee everyone, they are out in the field just eating, and pooping and butting heads and seem to be probably exactly normal. Ryder and 3MR and I luv herfrds thanks for your kind and encouraging words and admirable sentiments. You stand out as positive role models. I have been on lots of internet forums and the same sort of chiding behavoir happens when a new person enters a forum populated by lots of "experts." Some very civilized forums do not allow such chiding behavoir. Others, like this board seem to tolerate it, without consequence. Glad to see there are kind folks on here who want to help. In regard to selling the animals before I have to feed them. I have had horses for 40 years and you pretty much have to feed them all year round, so why wouldn't I keep the cattle as well and feed them. Gosh I am in Oregon and we have lots of grass almost all year! The gentleman we bought the heifers from said they were all vaccinated and wormed until next June. So I think next June I will get the vet out. By then we will have made a shootl like many of you have described. Thank you! As far as eating or breeding them, my husband is insistant that we breed them (AI technician is nearby). (This is married code word for - wife you find out all about it and worry all about it and then let me know what I need to know to make it happen.) As for the use of my terminology "cull", did not know it would start such a debate on semantics. The two I have are pretty cute, not sure they would make pinup status in PlayBull mag or anything of that sort. ;-). Can we post pics on this forum? I took two pics of them yesterday and could post them and let you tell me if they are culls or pinup heifers!!!! How about it? [/QUOTE]
