The vet should pre-cut the cast long ways when they apply it and duct tape it together.  After 2 weeks you take a pair of scissors and cut the tape on one side, expand the cast a bit to give the leg a little more room to grow and duct tape it back.  Then you leave it on 3 more weeks before...

I really appreciate all the input.  I will begin to research the bulls that have been posted and look forward to more suggestions from each of you.  This has been very helpful to me.  There are many individuals on this site that have good advice and philosophies about show cattle or the Cattle...

Looking for breeding suggestions for this heifer.  She is 3/4 Simmi.  Sire is Grandmaster and dam is a Meyer/Northern Improvement.  I would like to breed her Angus, Simmi or Maine.  Would prefer to have a heifer calf, so sexed female semen options would be great.  Most importantly we would like...

Thanks for the replies.  I am located in oklahoma.  No feed store around my area carries the Honor Show chow full range and I was not aware of it.  I will see if my feed store will order some.  I was adding the custom ration in with the fitters edge to cheapen it up some.  We raise alfalfa hay...

Need some advice from the board please.  Have a 3/4 Simmi breeding heifer that just turned 1 year of age.  She is a Grandmaster out of a Meyer/Northern Improvement cow.  I want to maximize her ability to increase frame size as she is a little too small framed.  I know genetics will determine...

We are getting back into showing after a long absence and are looking for recommendations (brand/style) for the basic equipment (chute, blower, lights, fans, showbox).  Don't know if any suppliers will give discount for buying all equipment at one time, but if anyone knows please let me know.  I...

Just a bump for anymore suggestions.  The people I have spoken with have been helpful and informative.  Other information or recommendations are appreciated.  Thank you.

Just to clarify I am looking for a spring 2014 heifer.  I realize it is a little early in the process, but I am starting the process now since I am trying to establish connections.  Thank you to those that have responded thus far.

I am in need of a spring born heifer for my daughter to show.  It will be her first year showing as she turns 9 at the end of May.  My wife and I both showed and farm/ranch for a living in southern Oklahoma.  We have been out of the show scene for 15 years and are looking for some...

Oklahoma for me.

Thanks for the info clubby.  Appreciate the suggestion.  May use him on one of my top two in a second flush.

Decided to use 3C Macho on most of the cows with the idea to breed back daughters to some strong maternal genetics that have Maine influence.  Will flush my top 2 cows to GCC Unwound and Meyer 734.  I really appreciate all the help.  I enjoy this board and all the info. 

Thanks guys.  I will continue to research the names mentioned.  This is helping me tremendously.  It gets overwhelming looking at all the bull pics, much less trying to follow bloodlines that would work well.

Thanks for the advice thus far.  GCC Unwound may work well as I have 5 Anchor daughters.  Amazing how things have changed in 20 years.  Lots of good looking bulls, but obviously very hard to tell about the consistency and soundness of their offspring without visiting with others who are much...

I have been away from the show scene for 20 years but have children almost show age.  I am soliciting any advice on what Simi/Maine bulls would work well on my Angus cows.  My cows are all Duff/Ohlde/Jaur genetics that are moderate framed, deep ribbed and stout.  I am primarily looking for bulls...
