not sure where this goes, but thinking my old blower is on the edge so Im searching for a new/used blower.Any one going to Phoenix have one for sale? I will be in phoenix at the end of the month for nationals if that helps. thanks would prefer one with heat. lol

lol  that is funny, we were just saying that the other day. use V05 here  from dollor store.works fine

thank you for asking. he seems to be a little better. the smaller calf tends to keep him calm. He seems to be over the kicking and seems to enjoy being in the chute now . as for my daughter , im very proud of her. tagging is saturday and we have decided to tag him. If so happens he dosent show...

[Find someone you trust. Buy from them every year you are looking if they have something you like in your price range. I know this industry is full of bottom feeders and slime bags, BUT it is also full of reputable trustworthy business people.  Find them. I wish you lots of luck....

thats similar to what we do. but we take him to water every morning, then feed, then he gets tied up high...afternoon water ,tied up high..evening water ,feed tied low..in between goes in chute(if he dosen't wig out)... blow rinse blow ..tied back up ...still have to be on your toes and its...

we are so far removed from eveyone out here shopping for livestock isnt easy...we have to travel no matter what. the biggest things our kids do out here is 4-h and ffa. Thats why it frustrates me about this calf. when we go to buy for all our clubs its a joint affair. we might go to a pig ranch...

Just called a friend,they are dropping off a calf today. we r gonna break him out just for the heck of it while we feed him up. made a deal ,we will feed him for the freezer and hes gonna stay with us to see if it helps . hes smaller, and quiet so it shouldnt be to much truoble, my daughters...

??? Pardon me?  what does that mean.  we unloaded him  and slipped the halter on when he was getting water. He was so thirsty i dont even think he noticed, after that we left him alone for about 3 weeks , no pressure just her feeding him and letting him get used to the place. He is the only one...

also he was on the top deck with one other (very large and upset)show calf

DLD you might have hit the nail on the head right there. we have been discussing this very same thing here. He came in on a semi, and while i trust this driver and he is a very good guy, we are thinking that maybe the trip unhinged him . Has anyone ever experianced this? How did things end...

first thank you all ..i have enjoyed reading all the comments here..the good the bad, agree or dont agree, even the ones that went off on there own.(lol) i wish i could have reply to all of them, but just haven't had time . my daughter is feeling better thankfully, she is tough and im very...

@tevorgrey....yes this calf was sold as halter broke..i have texted the breeders  with my concerns about him after the first month but we didnt want to give up.My text back "well some of them are like that" Was told hes a monopoly. always thought they had good demeanor's. @ chambero.. this is...

this is more of an opinion then anything.....my daughter was finally seriously hurt after 2 months  of  trying to break her steer...after spending her hard earned money on a calf from a very popular breeder(that shall remain nameless) shes finally given up. there's no way she can replace him at...
