I am wondering that, too.  I am not even 100% sure what link to follow. 

That's a really nice steer and a great clip job for a first-timer.  I would, however, clip his tail shorter.  Typically, the tail is clipped so that it is level with the bottom of the brisket.  That is usually about level with the hocks. 

Any recommendations regarding hoof trimmers who live in Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois?  Thanks.

If you find time away from correcting other people's grammar, then you should learn how to spell.  For starters, you could learn how to spell grammar.  Good luck!     

The Guyer and Stierwalt clipping DVDs are fantastic.  If you have to choose one over the other, I would choose Guyer's.

I agree that the culprit should be made public for the protection of others.  On the bright side, for the Vickland family, this controversy has created a lot of free advertisement for their sale.  I hope that it works out for them in the end.

What exactly is the sound alarm useful for?  Would it catch a fan that is misbehaving?  Just a little confused. 

Any tips on glueing tops?  What do you use?  What direction do you comb?  Do you add white paint?  And so on... Thanks. 

My Andis Super 2 Speeds emitted smoke and a melting smell the last time that I used them.  Anyone know what might be going on here?  Are they worth fixing, or should I just purchase a new set?

I've seen the Guyer clipping video, the selection video, and the daily care video.  They're just as good, if not better than, the Stierwalt videos.  The Guyer videos seems to give all of the same details that the Stierwalt videos, but the Guyer videos seem to have more depth and are more cutting...

When I was showing, I had two calves per year, and I had a cool room measuring 12*14*9.  This is a great size for two calves but would be less than ideal for three.  Notice that the height of this cooler is 9 feet.  I highly recommend, at least, that height.  I have been in coolers that are only...

I am still interested in a few more of these.  Please shoot me a PM if you have any for sale.
