Did you know that:
All cows are females (males are called bulls).
True..but only for a little while after birth.. about 4 months old we cull the baby "bull's" outta the herd.
After a few minutes with Hillbilly, and an industrial rubber banding tool, the baby bull becomes a "steer". You guys may have been introduced to him as "hamburger". during the same session he get's a ear tag with number (I am terrible with names), and about $20-$40 dollars worth of meds.
If we do our part with cutting tools you may end up with a delightful plate of "Rocky Mountain Oysters" later in the day
After a few months our little steer is worth about $200-250 dollars.... he gets weaned, and goes to a nice place to grow up.
