We have 2 steers and 2 heifer calves going. I didn't make chances wedding. Did they have a "cash" bar? I would have traveled over hill and "dale" to attend it. I bet it cost a pretty "schilling". ;D

The two heifers we are taking to the kansas futurity are pictured on our website. I think they are pretty darn good for the club calf world. They should make great cows.The one calf came back pha pos(we have one cow that goes back to suds).Haven't got th tests back but the other one looks th. There have been some pretty good cattle go through this sale at a decent price.jmo

You could have a lot of fun with a Durham Red heifer that looks like the bull at the top of your page! We'll look you up in Wichita.

The M Bar clan will be taking their "maiden" voyage to the KJLS. Haven't went for about 20 years. Daughter is taking her heifer and we should have around 4 head that will be there that were purchased off the ranch last year. hope everyone has a safe trip. What's up with all the rules? No fit, only family members help. Sounds like no one wants to have fun with glue any more.

KJLS was the 1st to go no fit, Kansas State Fair followed them and now most of the spring shows are adopting that policy. I understand all of the reasons they give for doing this, but I still feel that fitting the cattle you are showing is part of the project, these shows need to be fit shows! I know most don't agree with me, but I think this is SO sad, in the next 3-4 years you will have a bunch of Kansas kids that just can't compete at the next level because none of them ever learned how to fit. Ok off my soap box now, I would love to meet you all, we are in the Johnson County stall area.

Keep Shouting from that Soap Box! It's a crying shame that these kids don't get to experience the whole realm of "Showing Cattle" because of a few jealous fools who never learned how to Groom and Fit! There is a way to get Fitting back into the show, but sure a whole lot easier to attack before it's tossed. A few short years ago when many counties in Oklahoma were going to no-fit shows, and the Okla Youth Expo was considering the same, Kirk Steirwalt decided to make sure it never happened. He put together a plethora of sponsors who anteed up to provide Great Prizes and Scholarships for a Fitting Contest during the Expo. This thing has now spawned Qualifying Contests at the County level. Our County is still no-fit, but next year will be hosting a Fitting Qualifying Contest. I fully expect to see fitting put back into our show by 2010. Check out the OKC contest at
http://www.okyouthexpo.com/fittingcontest.htm You guys need to get together so that Kansas has a Fitting Contest in place by next year.

I agree I actually keep a seperate of adhesives at home because at a few jackpots we have been accused of fitting with adheisives! Even though I had 10+ empty shaving cream cans to prove what I had used but oh no! so we have just stopped carrying it all together :'(I really wish we could fit at more shows its isnt as fun with out it, allthough we can get out of the show much faster!

Our county fair went no fit this year, but they kept the fitting contest and had the most teams they had ever had. They have the contest where it is 1 senior and 1 Junior, Grady is the team in orange and his team won the contest. This is such a learning time for the younger kids and they love getting to fit with their "hero's"!

Just for grins, what do most of you spend on the average fit job?
