I am trying to buy the following items and the current owner asked me to figure out what they are worth and make him an offer.  Before I do that, I want to make sure it is fair for both of us. 2003 Featherlite 24' aluminum stock trailer.  2 cut gates with 1/2 slide door, rear full swing door...

I have a 5 yr old son and a 7 yr old daughter.  Both have expressed interest in showing.  My wife seems to like the idea of starting them with Mini Herefords instead of our Simmental and SimX calves. I know NOTHING about mini cattle.  Any thoughts, suggestions are welcome.

Looking for suggestions and/or resources for getting a kid started showing goats and/or lambs.  Any advise would be appreciated.  I have a 4 year old son and a 6 year old daughter.  Both show interest in showing, but I don't think they are ready for showing cattle just yet.

I've done the same thing.  I've always been told you can pour Cydectin in wet conditions but I've always tried to allow 8 hours before we wet cattle we used pour on. Hope the lice clears and your show season is a success!

You don't see a ton of Bettis calves but I have seen him work really well on certain matings.  Good luck with your calf!

One for $190,000 and one for $25,000 puts a nice avg on Broker calves!

He should be polled based on his pedigree.  Steel Force and Blackfoot are both homozygous polled.  Doesn't mean it's not possible for him to be scurred but he's not reported as such on his papers.

No problem at all, I appreciate the info!

I wasn't saying they aren't real money, however in my experience on big money cattle their is some discussion prior to the sale and some agreement in place as to what happens after the sale.  It's not just about someone writing a check.  Again I'm thrilled for the Hartman crew and everyone...

Hope it was.  That would be awesome in a lot of ways.  I have seen lots of cattle sell for big money.  I have seen lots sell for "real" big money, but I have seen a lot sell for big Monopoly money too. In my opinion when they get that high you have to at least scratch your head on it. ...

Sounds like something's not right.  Bull senses that.  I'd keep watch on just in case she is slipping the pregnancy/calving early.  I hope that's not the case, good luck.

I have been pleased with ours.  I've always charged it a little early anyway but it seems to hold well

Best of luck in Denver HAB!

Congrats on the AI success..,and good luck with the Built Right daughter.  Our Built Right's averaged under 80# 103# heifer is big, regardless of the sire.  Our biggest calf this Fall was a 110# bull calf, born to a heifer.  She pinched a nerve and was down two days...she's fine now but we lost...

Do you have calves by him now or the flush was a success?
