Kentucky shows are generally geared for Spring born calves. Most county fairs are Summer shows and the state fair is the third week of August.  The fall Calf will be too small this summer and likely too big to hold over until summer of 2018

Oklahoma state has an online ration program. It will tell you the approximate analysis and what is deficient

My room has a concrete floor with a drain, 4 inch thick walls with six inches of R-30 insulation packed in there, and is 12x13.  We run a 24000 btu AC unit with a cool bot.  It keeps one steer at about 40 degrees all summer. It is relatively cheap (125) on utilities. We are very happy with it

You bashed on him earlier in this post and I don't recall him saying a thing about shorthorns.  So your argument holds no water. Posters like you are the reason the Steerplanet doesn't have the level of information and discussion it used to. Being polite and civil doesn't hurt or cost you a...

I read on here often. I rarely post. I agree with Jive Turkey. It is getting old Knabe. AJ starts some interesting conversations. You simply insult others. Additionally, some of the information you post is outdated or not backed by good science. Maybe if you were a little less...

Our County show does reward placing, to some degree.  The supreme champion and the reserve supreme champion set the ceiling.  The reserve maxes out at $0.05/lb below the Champion.  All others through the Auction are capped at the Reserve's price. Some here have stated that when you limit buyers...

Please do not use Net Worth on heifers.  The EPD's are generally very accurate.  I have numerous NW females and love them as cows.  I would not risk a larger BW calf when there are other numerous sexed semen options.

Has anyone used this bull?  His pictures portray him as a soggy middled bull with a ton of depth. He seems to have a great deal of muscle also.  Has anyone seen him?  Would you keep females out of him? Kevin

I have had three WA's this week (2 heifers and 1 bull). The birthweights are on the large side.  I had an Ali daughter that had a 105 lb bull calf.  I had a 6807xShort that had one at 125 lbs.  And I had an angusxlimmi have one at 102 lbs.  Luckily, all were born assisted.  All are very heavy...

I'm glad your calves are OK. But a little bit of unsolicited advice: Get rid of the cow that chased you.  At our place a cow that is aggressive takes the trailer to McDonald's! My wife, children, parents and myself are more important than any cow.  I don't care if she can raise a Denver...
