    Show day help at Colorado State Fair

    I haven't posted in a while, but I moved from Texas to Colorado last summer. I don't have any local connections up here, but since the CSF is coming up, I thought I would ask here. I'm having withdrawals from not fitting all the time, so if anyone needs some good show day help (or knows someone...

    Show Cattle Ethics

    Back to the original topic, I want to share a similar experience that occurred with a breeder and close friend of mine. They raise purebred cattle that are as sound as they come, i.e. nothing clubby. Last year, they sold a bull calf off one of their best cows; just after weaning at around six...

    Heifer is Short Strided..Any luck with Joint feed additives?

    I don't think you would have much luck. Joint supplements seem to help on cattle that are a little stiff and need help in moving a little more freely, especially on really heavy cattle whose joints are under a lot more stress. Short stride is more of a structure issue that can't really be fixed...

    Dying hair

    Lots of people dye. We dye before every show and it lasts quite a while. Rules or no rules, there's no way to "prove" that the calf has been dyed. I guarantee you the calves winning Angus shows have been dyed.

    Fattening Calves

    You bring up a really good point! I just don't like bringing one home and have to worry about it getting too fat from day one. I want to push one how I want.

    Fattening Calves

    Showmaster actually has a feed for getting calves ready for sales. I think its called Sales Edge? Just get them on a good high energy ration and you should be fine. You have more than enough time to get them there. On a buyers note though, I don't like seeing young calves butterball fat. Their...

    Yeah Fort Worth and Denver always fall really close. I'd go to the NAILE because I love Kentucky, but Kansas City is closer.

    Help with tail problems!

    I've had to do this before too. We used some pieces of hair that we had already clipped off the calf with some tail adhesive. If the calf is black though I would use horse hair because you could paint it. Sullivans sells small bundles of it. I prefer to use a sharp pair of scissors to clip it...

    Injured calf, anything to do?

    We had a brahman heifer about a few years ago that went running out of a squeeze chute after getting dehorned and she jumped and hit a concrete edge and messed up her outside toe on her front left foot. We ended up having to amputate it. After that we had to clean it and wrap it for about a week...
