When you're done unloading your livestock and tack, get the he** out of the way! Move your truck and trailer so someone else can unload.

We had that happen to us at a show this summer. A family pulled into the weigh line with no stock in their trailer they were just their to park and unload, and that they did. It was all we could do to keep our cool.

Always hated people that hog the wash-rack. Bring in 18 head for the two guys rinsing....

You know when you go through the drive through and you are just about at the ordering screen and the person in front of you won't pull forward. There is plenty of room for them, but they decide just to stop 10 feet from the next car in front of them. Meanwhile you are close enough to trip the sensor the fast food lady is trying to take your order, but you are screaming for them to hold on. (argue)

Spectators standing in front of you in your aisle when your leading a 1400lb steer. They just stand there and the steer won't move. I've cussed more than a few people in this situation. Do us a favor and stand off to the side when you see "the pretty cows" coming.

Don't push your baby stroller up in my pen behind my feeder calves. Your child will not like being kicked.

People that pull in to load up there stuff and sit and talk for a half hour.

Our fair board giving the cattle people the short end of the preverbal stick year after year.

Kids walking through my nice clean aisle and throwing their lemonade cup or other trash down in my area, or coming through with those pop guns and being rowdy.

Just people in general really.

What about the people who come up and "pet" your animal after you've just spent 3 hours getting them ready to go in. At least ask first.

One of the best things I ever seen was at the Calgary stampede one year and anyone that has ever shown there knows how bad it is filled with strollers and city people coming up to"pet your pretty cow." A guy was petting my buddies "pretty cow" on the head when she was tied in the stall, so he walked up to him and started petting him on the head! Haha it was awesome haha

The barn,tie outs (or lack of),wash rack, and parking at San Antonio!! Oh and the goofball worker at Ft Worth that likes to drive like a bat out of heck on the bobcat.

I'll second that, for sure. We always try to get unloaded quickly, pile our stuff in the stall, and go park the trailer and come back and set up. Nothing more frustrating than having to wait on people that think they have to have everything completely set up, beds made and cattle (sometimes rinsed and dried) tied in 'em, before they can even go park their trailer. Made worse by the fact that there's usually lots of people in that group, surely just one of them could go move the trailer out of the way...

Last year at Tulsa a guy tied a lead rope from the end of his stall to the barn wall because "the people walking through with cattle were messing up his tack" that was stacked everywhere it shouldn't have been. I was shocked because he had the nerve to do it while part of our string was walking by. A friend promptly untied it and walked right through. If he would've pulled that same stunt in Texas he would've had a couple black eyes I think.

Judges selection protocol- I'd like to see it based on functional beef cattle characteristics.

farmboy · Sep 3, 2011

We've been lucky to have judges (I'm talking about our fair) that have picked the best MARKET steer as long as I can remember. That's one thing our fair board does right for us is get well qualified judges.

I also don't like those guys that feel the need to bring a sound system with them that can be heard 5 miles away, blaring Lil Wayne, inside the barn.

Every lard butt at a fair sitting on my chest show box- and acting annoyed when I want to get in my box. Even had a hired jock set up a chute next to us, to fit a neighbors calf and thought our box was his bench to lay all his junk out on-- even he got annoyed when I moved his junk on the ground and opened my box. Came back in about 2 minutes and he had closed my box and put his stuff back on the box --darned near through my lid open to see how far his clippers, cans, and other could fly.
Solved this problem by getting a Jobes blue ribbon 5 ft dolly box, still havent seen a lard butt sitting on it yet!

People other than me sitting in my fold out chairs... Or a friend bringing a group of people back to my area and sitting in front of my nice aluminum box and being pissy when I ask them to move so I can open it.

Other calves taking a dump in my aisle and no one picks it up.

we always have the same problem too. on saturday night we have trailers backed up 1/4 of a mile with the sherif directing (good job) trying to get open show calves, fat steer set ups, and purebred strings all at one time. I also see that city folk now call cows a "moo". we here them say "can i pet your moo" i say "no but you can pet my cow" so they walk away.
