Absolutely nothing to do with hunting.

Barry,

Great thing that you are allowing your son to participate in.  I did "show" rabbits for 4H, but don't think I could raise them for "sale."  There were a few farm kids (I lived in the BIG city - about 1200 people) that raised feeder steers and a few of them had trouble when it came time to sell them.  After a couple of years, they learned not to get attached to them and look at them only as a project.

You want to hear holler just have your wife screamming at you at 3 am that there is a major problem outside and you jump up and jump in your pants only to find the cuffs sewn shut.  As your jaw contacts the dresser on the way to meet the floor is when the hollering starts.  

Have her take pics next time.

Sarah the first calf seems to have got some kind of joint infection.  Not a good pic of it but you can see how big her left front knee joint is.



The wife said I could go talk to the feedlot owner about a few more calves for the boys now [could be because shes leaving for a few days].  Talked to the straw boss Calvin and told him what I needed,  I didn't get out of the lot when my phone rang telling me to go to pen G3.  Brand spanking new out of the box bull calf.



Have to get the cholostrum milk in them within hours for it to help the calf with anti bodies to fight off all the bad stuff in the outside world.







Back up plans are as good for 4H as they are for business.  The little feller follows the boys all over the yard this morning.

Thats cool Barry. Kids should grow up around critters, it makes them a lil better in the end.

I enjoyed the calf hanging by the tool belts.  :roflmao:
