Bull pinching day ouch and weaning

[Ms. Research]

What amazing animals. They are so fluffy. Never knew. Now I know what to get your cows for Christmas. That's right a comb.

Congratulations on your beautiful herd.

Redtail green on the ear - yes just tattood

Animalfarm - I have 2 belties with smoother hair and one with the shaggy look. The names Yani and Yoda were chosen off a list of names given by visitors to our open farm weekend - had to begin with the letter Y for purebred registration purposes.

MS Res - yes as Lothiriel says - bull pinching is a form of castration you can do this at any time which allows us to see how a bull develops and lets us choose to keep them in tact if they are a potential breeder - this year we pinched them all to steers as none quite made the grade for breeding.

Elevan - LOTS of hay but they still browse the brush or anything thats edible
