Those hairy devils aren't appropriate for our purposes. Good looking heifers, just way too much hair

Nope, in the real world where cows have to get out and work for a living. No beaty parlors, only get a bath when it rains and getting their hair brushed is by walking through brush.

Went to a Shorthorn sale last week-end. The were sure some pretty animals, most froofrooed up like a bunch of poodles at Westminster. The part I couldn;t get over was yearlings the size of my heifers that are calving and mature cows that were bigger then most Holsteins. Not the kind of animal that would make it around here, or at least here on our farm.

Dun, if they have to much hair you just have to clip a little more off ;-) Do you keep your cattle clipped a lot shorter than these?

 

[RebelCritter]

Look great! And beautiful colorings. I like them!

They clip themselves in the spring by rubbing off their winter coat. I do brush the oxen daily though.

Well if you decide you need some help, I got a number of a kid in your area that will come out and clip them things for you, to keep the hair shorter ;-)

You know - I have gone through the thought processes of "dolling -up" cattle to make it easier to LIE about what they really are underneath all that hair, and oil, and stick-um, and paint, and chalk, and injecting fat under the hide in places to make them "Appear smooth and more desirable" - - and I have finally settled on my personal philosophy regarding all that crap! The breeder is "Telling a LIE and Selling a LIE" when he does ANYTHING which masks or COVERS UP what an animal REALLY IS! I am okay with cleaning them up so you can see what they really are - but making a "silk purse out of a Sows ear" is Bull Pucky at it's best. And it is doing the novice breeder a dis-service by not teaching them what good Phenotype really should be.

And while we are on the subject of Lying, I'll tell you all another thing that really ticks me off! It is - - - -no, I guess I'll keep that one to myself!

but i thought all the cattle in the states looked like show poodles :lol:

 

[la4angus]

topsquar, you sure make a lot of noise for a little person not saying anything.

Believe it or not fellers, heifers like that can be and are very productive. As long as they are raised right they will have a long and prosperous life in a commercial herd in the real world.
I have calves that do it every year.

It certainly is a nice fitting job on those heifers, but if you wet them down real good you can get a good idea what their real frame looks like w/o all the nice straight hair lines covering it up. I like the black and white heifer. She appears the most feminine without the fitting, fatting, and excess hair to go with it that the others have.

The white on definitely has more depth. My favorite phenotypical trait.

Oh, come off it, Mike. We all know you just like her 'cause she's white. ;-)

That Char Heifer is Hoodoo pedigree, no?

White might be the tie-breaker in a close call. ;-)
