The world is a bit of a crazy place right now so I thought it was a good time to start a thread about random acts of stock show kindness. Below are two of my stories, be sure to share your own! This past year at the Manitoba Ag Ex we had four females in the grand drive and were waiting outside...

This one went from Denver contender to county fair bottom ender in a hurry.

I don’t say this about any of them but this one has been special since day one. At her first show she won the all breeds heifer calf jackpot and was Reserve Hereford Female. Her next show is Agribition and then she sells at the Wascana Cattle Company Complete Herd Dispersal on December 21. WCC...

I try not to get excited about baby calves but this one might be fun to watch. These pictures were taken 12 days apart- at 10 hours old and today. JDH 4X Ultimate 263Z 94B X MBF 121C Charlotte 321E.

Myself (Barefoot Polled Herefords), along with NCX & Glenrose Polled Herefords are very excited to be hosting Genetics for Generations on October 9 in Vegreville, Alberta. This will be the first sale that we've hosted together and the cool part is that all of my calves are sired by the very...

My coworkers talked me into bringing two heifers to put on our parade float this past weekend. The heifers loved all of the extra attention and the kids and their families seemed to really like seeing something a little less traditional at the parade.

What do you think of this one? She's a March heifer that was purchased in dam from Blair Athol Polled Herefords last fall. Her dam is a Blair Athol Classic daughter and she's sired by an NJW bull who is a maternal brother to Trust, Hometown and Downhome. She was second in class at our Canadian...

I don't usually do the whole steer thing but some friends had this guy for sale and the price was right so I decided to try and have some fun with him. He was born mid February and our target show will be the Canadian Hereford Junior Nationals at the beginning of August. I hope to jackpot him at...

A friend shared this post on Facebook- see the link for the full post. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=878724468870045&set=pcb.443917109066285&type=1&theater It's very cool- anyone know what this is called? What's also strange is that the animal has a cow head and a bull body...

We banded a late March bull calf two weeks ago and two days ago I found maggots in the open wound where his testicles meet his twist. He's been Cylenced regularly all summer but I covered his body in fly spray to keep the flies off of him and for the past two nights I've been rinsing out the...

Does anyone have experience grazing cattle on land with Western Water Hemlock? Due to the drought in Alberta we are very short on pasture and we have a piece of land that we just fenced off and are planning to use but it's full of Hemlock. In school they said that as long as you pick what you...

This weekend I sold two heifer calves to two young 4-H members. I'm really excited to see how the heifers turn out for them! The boy was busy catching grasshoppers so he didn't have much to say about his heifer but when his sister met her heifer she said "She's so quiet and has such nice hair...

I have a bull calf this year that's driving me crazy! I've tried for over a month to start him on feed but he's 100% uninterested. My other three calves love it and he comes running into the barn with them but then he just lays down- he won't even smell it! I've tried both a show ration and...

1st: HMR 9B- Harvie Tailor Made daughter

No matter how bad your Monday is going, it's probably not going as badly as this guy's... From the Saskatchewan RCMP Facebook page:

I saw this question posted on a different site and it had some really informative responses so I thought I'd ask it on here.

I bought this guy off of the SteerPlanet classifieds and I'm pretty excited about him. He's a January 2014 Harvie High Roller out of a 16 time Champion or Reserve Champion About Time cow.

I'm looking for a ride for a yearling bull from Wisconsin to North Portal, Saskatchewan (right on the North Dakota/Saskatchewan border). If anyone could help me out or knows of a trucking company in that area please let me know. We have all the permits and DNA tests so the bull is ready to move...

My parents and I pictured this girl today. Considering that she's only half lead broke, my parents aren't cattle people and we were in a hurry to beat the snow I think it turned out pretty good. I'm pretty proud to say that I raised this cow, I hope to show her and her calf this summer & fall.

I fitted this leg this weekend and was just wondering what everyone thought of it. I'm not a pro by any means and it's probably one of the best legs that I've ever done but I'm always looking to get better so any comments are welcome. I do realize that this steer needs his hooves trimmed. The...
