[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1841656, member: 637"] Oh me the rat tail thing....... I have one cow that I call rat tailed. She has very little tail switch, but has a wonderful coat of hair. Tail is covered in hair thickly, but the switch needs more. She produces great calves with hair on their tails. Funny how when you go to a registered sale, they cut their tails short and I want to call tell them, Stop doing that! Leave their tails alone as it i there for a reason!! Let me send those that cut their tails off into wet area in Tennessee and make them not use OFF and swat mosquitoes and flies off all day long. That tail takes forever to grow back out. Now I have a Piedmontese heifer, that I like a lot that has a rat tail. She has lots of hair, but bout 100 hairs coming out of the end of her tail. Will I send her down the road? No way. She has more hair on her body than her Mom does. Mom looks like velvet, and she looks like a wooly teddy bear. Something else is in the woodpile, but not sure what it is. It only takes a tiny percentage of something else to add the hair coat to these cattle. Add 1/4 Jersey cow to the mix and hair galore. More hair than the Jersey's carry for some reason. [/QUOTE]
