Recall using a piece of broken glass to scape the horns so they would be polished and shiny?

(a bit of black shoepolish helps)

And the same to the hooves?

A Brahma has a smooth thin layer of hair - Herefords, Angus, Charlois are more of a pain to maintain and groom for shows

But not a testy

A Brangus (Brahma-Angus cross) is the most miserable critter you ever saw - mean and just unreliable to be around

Ha, I thought you were asleep.
We never raised steer, my kids had lambs and they HAD to be walked every morning and night to build up those muscles. I personally clipped and groomed them for show but now they just shave them down real close.

One year it was so cold that after bathing them we put down sheets and brought them into the den. If they have a runny nose they would be ‘sifted’ and out of the show.
