Yes, bulls are required to have nose rings.

I just look it up, bulls are allowed, the oldest I can show is a 2yr, from what I understand

I will definitely look it up

I definitely don’t have cloning powers 😂 Bulls are allowed in my fair as far as I know, I see bulls shown there when I go and watch the shows. Okay, thank you. I just love my beef heifer, I will still work with her (and the dairy) and see how she grows out before I sign her up to be shown!

Also, did my dairy heifer, I don’t exactly know if I’ll show her or not because that would be 3 cows goin to fair… is it possible to show 3?

I trimmed up the calves top line and brisket a little yesterday and worked with em. The bull calf mooves (pardon the pub, couldn’t help it :lol:) nice, a little slower when he doesn’t want to go in the direction I’m leading him in, but overall, this fella has a nice walk. My heifer has to be...

Yes it is a good experience, which is my main reason for showing. I don’t believe I will place first or anything like that, but I do want to bring something that is worth the judge to look at if that makes sense. And wow, that is amazing that your Daddy did all organic. I’m happy we do, we...

That is really cool! I love that last one

Okay thank you. So the calf starter would be best to go with? I think it’s a bit cheaper then the Stock Grower

Hello all I went to Tractor Supply yesterday for duck, chicken, and cattle/goat feed. I decided to look for some higher protein pellets for my two calves, Joyce and Levi. Which would be better? I kind was thinking the 14%, it says it supports muscle weight, growth, and weight gain, on the other...

Okay, thank you. I can ask around, yes. I have a friend who shows cattle and she’s been giving me some tips, we live pretty far from each other so she can’t come help, although I wish she could. They are doing well, I’m trying to work them after a week off due to weaning them, I thought it...

Okay thank you!! I love that my parents do all natural, it’s so much better, but sometimes I wonder if that’s why my cattle don’t look as “fit” 😂

Question for y’all, how can I be getting more muscle on my two calves? We don’t give any shots that help grow the calves bigger faster, my parents like the all natural route. I have been told walking them will help, but how far do the need to be walked then? And does this actually help/work?

Oh jeez that is cold and horrible. Here we are going to be up to 60s° by the week end, I’m getting down with this weather goin hot, cold, hot. Glad to hear your calves are okay so far, hopefully you’ll be able to keep it that way and they’ll continue to be okay during this cold weather. I just...

Thanks! I hope you did as well. Yes, we did. Friday was miserable, got up to 19° that’s it.

I didn’t think of all that, so I am very grateful to @farmerjan for sharing the advice they did

Thank you for all the advice on this, I really appreciate it. Sorry I didn’t get back to you, it has been crazy here. Being honest, at first, I was bummed because a did want to keep him a bull, but after reading this through and giving deep thought, I decided I will make sure he gets banned. I...

Also, what age can I wean my calves? They are both still on their moms. My heifer is going to be 5 months on the 17th and the bull is over 4 months
