From time to time we've added some article to the front page of the website. I've written some as well as Dr Kaiser, RSC & Justintime.
I'd love some suggestions on future topics. also if anyone is interested in writing one, let me know.
So far we've had ones about structure, taking pictures, cold weather & calves, timid showers, breaking a calf & summer hair tips.
Am wondering if something for the commercial breeder would be helpful?
One I've thought about is how to make a successful sale. Or also putting together a display like at Denver that will get you noticed (besides condoms  ;) ) Highlighting a breed monthly was another thought.

Give it some thoughts & if interested in doing one yourself let me know!

IDK if you could even do an article on this or if you would have to be like in person to explain it. But like determining feed quality and any other info for good rations as well as feeding field cattle and calves.

There is/was a really good video either on the internet or a video that I have that explains how to prepare stalls very well! I will try to find it

Hey Red...how about doing member in the spotlight?  You could interview people that are members, they could give you some pictures ect.  Then we can see more about there operation?

I for one would love to read more about everyone.  I walked the lowlines and brauhmviehs today at the Royal and cann't remember names or know any faces.  I wonder if TJ is down here?

I come from a registered breeder background, so here are some things that I would like to see for articles:

- Looking to start in the club calf business, the do's and don'ts.
- Budgeting for things like purchasing cows, ET work, showing, etc.
- How to market calves for the small breeder.
- TH and PHA for Dumbies
- The little things you notice when you purchase seedstock (anything from the way the breeders ranch is kept up, to mannerisms of the breeder, etc. All those little things that make the difference between a sale and a set of taillights leavin gthe farm).
- Appearance is everything - Concentrating on giving the best possible impression at a show as far as stalls, dress, animal cleanliness, etc.

  Jason, that would be a great subject.  Would also like to learn more about posting videos on a website.  Maybe where to get cheap or free software to edit and post videos. 
Thanks,

RSC

I've been doing some video work for the past couple years, but after seeing what Brad Hook and some of these other guys have been doing, I'd like to get more info on how to really make this work.

Jason- photoshop would be great! I know Brad Hook visits from time to time, maybe he has something put together.

If anyone wants to write one, just let me know topic & I'll try & help out as much as possible.

We do have an article on nutrition on the front page under articles. http://www.steerplanet.com/content/view/16/
