mas o menos
Ben's horn nubs are growing well. Noticed this morning that his "stuff" was finally gone. Checked the trail from his morning romp but didn't find anything. Found it in the pen this afternoon (to go into the Field Lab Museum along with his umbilical cord). Ben is officially a steer now. Healing up nicely down under. The banding did a good clean job of it after 7 weeks. He is also taking to eating hay quite well now. That's my boy! 80,92,63,T,B,0
Ouch! I'm glad that's over.
