PRIVATE TREATY
LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY........ This herf is a June born bull calf that I bought in december. The pic in the barn unclipped was taken just before Denver, he was as square rumped, big haired, jack necked, chubby killer looking herf as they ever made. After Denver he got castrarted and it set him back, his sack drained for so long the hair is gone from the inside of his legs, before he ever got halfway recovered from that I had him dehorned.... and yup, you guessed it one side swelled up and got infected and he temped up spit his hair and lost some more weight/rib shape!! Just in the past 5 days he has started to come back and is now healthy. And oh.. I failed to mention somewhere along the way he picked up some lice and rubbed all the hair off his back. Heres the good news... he's still the same genetic freak he was when I bought him and we dont have any prospect shows until the end of April. So while the fall borns are shucking out later in the spring we will be fuzzed back up fresh as a daisy. This one has been through alot last 30 days and I will keep him thru march 15 and guarantee health up to the day of delivery. I will also start rinsing daily and keep him in the cooler until TSU at a reasonable fee. We all know how good the hereford steers are these days and how good they will sell in the spring auctions. Get ahead of the curve and tie into one that can beat most of the crossbreds in due time!
