Had one like that last year.....uggghhh!  Ours was a real quiet calf right from birth and was a big calf....sure gave us some problems (especially because she was a 4-H project - no fun for a young kid!).  We tried all the pulling, leading tricks - even tried tying her to her mama and leading...

I've got Brilliance calves coming between 50-60 lbs out of Registered Angus females (some on the show circuit - well fed).  I attribute the low birthweight to early calving - closest mine have got to their due date was 14 days ahead of schedule!  Early but very vigorous active calves with great...

Google 'horse names beginning with C' With all the horse registries there are some cool names out there - you can search by letter very easily!

Thanks for the comments.....seems to be what folks I've asked are saying!  Now we know what direction to head. (clapping)

Looking to upgrade from a steel bumper pull trailer to a gooseneck (16-18 ft aluminum).  In looking at used trailers we have a choice of 2 currently - one has a fifth wheel hitch, the other has a gooseneck hitch ball.  Wondering what folks recommendations are....is there a big difference? ...

Anyone adding  ground flax meal to their show rations?  It and brewers yeast are in some of the 'show supplements' so I wondered about adding it to the feeding regime.  Is anyone doing this?  How much would you feed/day?

Thanks for the info LKF!  Best of luck to you at the show this year!

Wondered if anyone knew what supply companies would be at the Big E Regional Youth & Jackpot show May 1-3rd??

"Quigley" seen as his heritage hails from 'down under'!

Halloween 

I think AMP Livestock is simple, easy to remember, sounds good.  Think of all that would be associated with choosing a name.....stall signs, promotional items, slogans etc.  "Get AMP'd up"  or "AMP up you profits...."    <party>

Thanks for all the words of wisdom folks!  I appreciate your comments.  I get a real good vibe on Hoover Dam and have a number of females here that would cross well with him.  He's on the short list!

i like it!  Simple, easy to navigate, nice pics. 

Opinions please! Have a very stylish but fine boned Eagle Eye heifer.  Was considering breeding her to Hoover Dam or Frontman.  Looking for some muscle, power, bone and milk #s.  Dam is a long bodied easy fleshing female.  Would like something with high milk epd as dam seemed to be lacking a...

Congrats!  You must be proud....heifer or bull?  What are your plans with this little one?
