Also I can lay down 4 injections and a ralgro before my ninja of a dad who can cut a steer faster than anyone on this planet can be done.

Why/how are you cutting steers?
Refers to castration. Bulls don't make good beef and they tear crap up.

Well, you aren’t wrong about the cow drugs. But even “grass fed” have growth hormones usually. You gotta ralgro pellet their ears to get them hungry. That’s just how it goes brother.

Are you saying just ",grass fed" or are you referring to " grass finished."
I’m referring to cows

Ok. None of the cows I buy have used ralgro and most (none of the) producers of grass-finished beef I know don't use ralgro.

We didn't use growth hormones for our cow/calve herd, but the spring grass calves brought in from feedlot owners were probably pumped full of it.  Of course, I'm referring to the '70s and things changed in 50 years.  I'm guessing the fancy ranch directs beef sellers to individual buyers at a premium price.  The sellers at our Farmer's Market want around 3 to 4 times what you can get in the grocery store for their "grass-fed" beef.

This will almost be exclusively beef on dairy crossbreds. The salvation of the dairy man. Also not convinced that concrete will hold up for very long.

No problem. These cattle probably make a Holstein steer almost extinct.

I'm well aware of what it refers to and why you cut bulls.  SD specifically stated they were cutting steers.

A field of lavender in the shape of a powercat is just what the cat ranch needs.

When I was a kid, one of my buds had "hay bales" for his toy tractors that his dad had made by wiring stacks of Ralgro cartridges together. 4-5 of those babies makes a real nice hay bale.

Unfortunately "Lil Yella" didn't make it, luckily my dad found another struggling farm cat to love.

Meet "Ice Cube"

My mom might veto the name and change it to "frozen" but here is how "ice Cube" got her name


Quote
Ice Cube was in the dying process one morning in the Morton.  When a kitty gets too cold, they will just stretch out and phase out.  Ice Cube was in this state of existence.  Took an hour in the house with a hair dryer to get her warmed up as her core body was so cold.  Hence, her name.

Ice Cube died tonight.  Was doing the mamma cry, minimal eating, a bit cold.  Was able to get some warm half n half down her, kept her warm for 3 hrs, but she quietly passed.  I thought I was good at this - guess not.

maybe it would go better if your father had female cats that would take care of their kittens?
