[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1637362, member: 24816"] We have one that I say has been one of the few cows I’ve ever bought that paid for herself with her first calf. Has her second calf on the ground now. At 3 years old her horns are not going to be as long as some but still pretty long. We have gotten her through the squeeze chute probably 3 times . She can turn her head and work her way through, but takes some time. Most time don’t take the time or effort to get her through. The other day we put fly tags in and wormed them. After that day I decided that the time, she is getting cut out and penned away from the other cows. She slowed up the whole process by standing in the way and not budging either way. Couldn’t get her out cause her calf had slipped in with her and couldn’t get the other cows to go by her very easy. I put some pour on on her back and let her go. Have another older dehorned longhorn cow since she was a heifer, she is always one of the first to calve and will always wean off a big nice calf, but the heifers we have kept out of her have shown the LH influence pretty good at around a year old. She usually calves in the winter and has done fine though our winters aren’t as cold and snowy as some places it’s still pretty darn cold and wet a lot of times. She sheds off slick early in the spring. Fescue is the base of our pastures. My theory is to have cattle that work with what you have instead of trying to change everything to work for the cattle.
