I heard he was a damn good one.  Bought by a group, Sloup Simmentals, NE; Ferguson Show Cattle, OH; Eichacker Simmental, SD; H20's Cattle Co., IN; 4B Land and Cattle, IA; Sandeen Farms, IA; Windy Creek Cattle, SD; Fenton Farms, OK; Red River Farms, CA; Lehrman Family Simmentals, SD; Prairie...

Any young and upcoming judges to keep in mind? Our fair is always looking for new judges. 

Does anyone have the highlights from their sale?

I havn't found any posts on here from the last 5 years about this topic, but you are still constantly seeing Monopoly calves come to the top at shows.  So that got me wondering what cows he is working best on these days?

With the millions of supplements (powders, pastes and pellets) on the market by Sullivans (fresh and feminine, stretch, winning fill, keep n on, sure champ, juiced), Purina (ultra full, depth charge, fitter 35), Stand Alone, and countless others, it is often hard to sort through which ones are...

Thank you!

I am going to be driving through Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota and am shopping for a show heifer for the coming year.  I am wondering where the best places to stop and look at top quality calves are.  I want to make sure I don't miss anyone.

I am currently shopping for a new aluminum trailer, most likely a 16' Bumper pull. I have found two that I like the looks of and have heard good things about, an Eby and a Wilson. The prices are comparable so I'm wondering about the differences, in quality and durability, or any things that...

I am looking at buying a new chute and I saw Sullivans has their half chute that does not have a top or back part to it and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these?  I was thinking that they would be nice since you don't have those extra bars getting in your way.  Does anyone feel...

I am wondering who all in Canada is distributing club calf semen.  Whether it be a company, or an individual, I am having trouble locating a few different bulls that I know are approved for Canada.

I have a heifer that is wearing a Sullivan's black heat neck sweat, with a leather neck sweat over top. Within an hour in the pen, she has her nose band off.  Has anyone found any solutions to this?

I'm not interested in Show Coat. IMHO I just don't find the product worth the money,  I'll stick to good old fashioned elbow grease for growing hair. For this post, I'm interested in an affordable concoction for keeping their hair and hide conditioned and healthy.

I have used a lot of different things for daily hair care products over the years, and I just wanted to see what other people use.  I have searched through this site, but havn't really found any posts from the last five years and just thought I would see if people are still trusting the same old...

I am looking for a ride for a heifer calf from Eastern Ohio, to Mitchell, SD. If you or anyone you know will be making this trip, I'd love to work out something

That's really debatable and I would talk to a vet.  There are a lot of different antibiotics out there, and Draxxin is not only ridiculously expensive, but depending on what you are treating, it is not always the best option. As far as the lump goes, cold compact on it, maybe some metacam, but...
