Well I think they're going to get spoiled rotten the way you couldn't wait to get them home.

Yeah, maybe just a bit. When the farmers dropped them off, my husband asked them what they thought of our other two. The farmer and his son (who both show cattle) said, "that one (our black baldie steer) must have been a show steer." Yeah, not quite!! But apparently, we have introduced him to the finer way of cattle life.

Cricket, great tip! Thanks. Yes, your right. I mean a little bit here and there whatever. But this is a bit much for me.

The guy we bought them from said that the "missing fur patches" are um...I forgot what he said. Barn itch????? Says that places that have a large number of cattle get that. Does this sound right to all of you?

The fur is growing back in so I am sure they are fine. Just a bit rough looking.

"Barn itch" is called lice here in this area. Use Dectomax pour on. It's effective on lice and even internal parasites.
