Agreed! It has quickly become my go too! I make time for it.

Lol to not too. Depends if it’s going to be a permanent part of the heard, I won’t. I want them to be intact, unaltered and healthy. They only way I would dehorn is if it was going to be a feeder steer. I would use a hot iron. The creams don’t work well.
But even then I probably wouldn’t dehorn.
If you are afraid of horns, just pick a naturally polled breed.

Crazy question. I’m using the app and can’t find the new discussion button.
Thanks for your help!

Yep we have been using Tucker Milling’s Nature Crest for about 3 years and it is great! Highly recommend.

I ve been raising buff Orpingtons for the last 3 years in South Al. They are a great dual purpose bird, good forager and do well in the southern heat.

Same here we run Orpingtons and Ginger broilers. I’m not keen on the quantity of life of the CC. But also our birds are run in sequence with our cows and CC are to lazy and would end up having strokes. Our birds live well and work hard. Lol

Same here in South Alabama. We just do smaller batches in the winter. I have 40 on pasture right now.
We run mostly heritage breeds like Orpingtons in constant rotation with our cows.
