Had 2 calves out of him this year. Both really good, a steer calf out of a really clubby type heifer, and a heifer out of a angus type heifer. Both calves are really big bodied super sound. http://www.acaregistry.org/detail.aspx?reg=359468 link to his page on the Chi Association. Hes calving...

i had a white heifer last yr. this is what i did for big shows. prime time or tail to adhesive the legs. a coat of tail adhesive to build and additional coat of tail for more build. a coat of white ( i like the weaver white for the actual building). clipping. another coat of weaver white. and a...

as long as you get them COMPLETELY dry you shouldn't have any issues with them getting sick.

Bob May has now switched and signed with weaver. i personally use a bit of both yet. ive been experimenting with the weaver. i like their white as a builder but still use sullivans as a cover up if theres over spray. i use only proremover now for breaking down. and we mostly use the purple pro...

people especially those that are showing like eye appeal, which = flashy and colorful. and people are willing to spend more money on the color, even if the animal itself isnt excellent. smokes, chromed up, and blue roans, and the extremely spotted ones, sell for a lot of money. black ones were...

goin. along with 10 or 11 others from my chapter, all dairy people. and then 3 other skools r riding down with us. yes it is last yr in indy and its a 3 yr rotation. or so my advisor says. so then the next 3 are in louisville then back to indy i believe. if you wanna try to meet up down there...

ik know of a few dairy guys that put beef embryos in their dairy heifers to get a bit lighter calf. they feed them with the rest of the dairy calves and then sell them. theyve always had good success. and put some pretty good embryos in too. but never hav i heard someone putting them in crap...

i was talking to the guy that was at our jr nationals that does the blade sharpening and clipper repairs. he said keeping the blades cool is really important, cus once the blades get warm, and the clippers even somewhat gets warm, it starts to deteriate and melt the core of the clipper. which...

get that hair trained perfectly so it pops really easy. we use tail adhesive instead of primetime on the white heifer i got now. set the legs. add another coat. then add like 3 a couple coats of white paint. depends on how white the legs are, if it starts to look fake white, STOP painting. huge...

well im glad i still got 2 units in the tank and 3 bull calves coming in march/ april all due the same week. and all out of cows that throw good calves to begin with.

steer i had last year i spent 2500. and i had no disappointments with him. great hair, great depth, super sound, super straight lines, all around a awesome really pretty steer. definitely going back to that breeder. best strictly county fair animals i had. came from gefferts. got a money man...

Thank you WAR. and GWYO sometimes its not possible to have another jr member help you. especially since if in the past couple of years someone has surpassed almost everyone else at their county show and most of the people either hate that person or are busy enough showday morning with their own...

key thing to keeping hair throughout the summer without a cooler, and keeping it trained and poofy. get them shedded out as early as you can in spring, ik you don't want them to lose that hair, but the longer you try to keep the winter hair, the more problems you WILL have. rinse forward always...

i agree with knabe. more angus. she seems more straight then i like on my breeding heifers on her back legs. but that could be the picture too. can u get a picture where she is truely set up for a side view. i'd also like to see a rearview picture.

check out my post "thriller x heatseeker steer. thnx for the great year." hes always been pretty soggy. had a lot of comments that change the makings hed look almost exact to his daddy. only thing i wish on him was he was a bit thicker, but overall he was a awesome steer. super soggy. and not leggy.
