Great looking cattle Shortgrass. You are sure right about a baby calf being able to "rearrange" the cab of a pickup. I put one in on a cold morning, and the first thing it did was bump up against the electric door locks and lock me out with the pickup running. As you may recall, I had locked myself out of the pickup earlier in the winter, so this time there was a spare key in a magnetic container. The horn for this caking pickup is wired to a switch on the gear stick. While I was getting the key, the calf hit the horn switch and there was a continuous loud blare for a couple minutes until I could get the door unlocked. Those little critters, no matter what their color, do make life interesting. :wink:

Your calf in the cab stories make mine pale, Soapweed.

The calf that thought he was a dog remind me of some of my cousins kids that were given a runt pig. They fed & played with this pig in the yard around dogs, and it really took on doggy characteristics, like it learned to chase cars!

I did unload before she was able to make any deposits.

Young Gun, that young bull was purchased. He has over 11 for Calving Ease, 71 lb BW, and his sire is what Creekside Charolais uses as a Calving ease specialist. His daddy had sired about 70 calves on 1st calf heifers that had all been born unassisted. He will be a smaller bull, but has some eye appeal. His calves should be what one needs on heifers.
