Does anyone have the highlights from their sale?

I havn't found any posts on here from the last 5 years about this topic, but you are still constantly seeing Monopoly calves come to the top at shows.  So that got me wondering what cows he is working best on these days?

With the millions of supplements (powders, pastes and pellets) on the market by Sullivans (fresh and feminine, stretch, winning fill, keep n on, sure champ, juiced), Purina (ultra full, depth charge, fitter 35), Stand Alone, and countless others, it is often hard to sort through which ones are...

I am going to be driving through Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota and am shopping for a show heifer for the coming year.  I am wondering where the best places to stop and look at top quality calves are.  I want to make sure I don't miss anyone.

I am currently shopping for a new aluminum trailer, most likely a 16' Bumper pull. I have found two that I like the looks of and have heard good things about, an Eby and a Wilson. The prices are comparable so I'm wondering about the differences, in quality and durability, or any things that...

I am looking at buying a new chute and I saw Sullivans has their half chute that does not have a top or back part to it and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these?  I was thinking that they would be nice since you don't have those extra bars getting in your way.  Does anyone feel...

I am wondering who all in Canada is distributing club calf semen.  Whether it be a company, or an individual, I am having trouble locating a few different bulls that I know are approved for Canada.

I have a heifer that is wearing a Sullivan's black heat neck sweat, with a leather neck sweat over top. Within an hour in the pen, she has her nose band off.  Has anyone found any solutions to this?

I have used a lot of different things for daily hair care products over the years, and I just wanted to see what other people use.  I have searched through this site, but havn't really found any posts from the last five years and just thought I would see if people are still trusting the same old...

I am looking for a ride for a heifer calf from Eastern Ohio, to Mitchell, SD. If you or anyone you know will be making this trip, I'd love to work out something

Does anyone know of a map or list that shows where most or all crossbred/clubby breeders are located.  Or even one that includes purebred breeders as well?  If not, I think this could be a really handy thing for someone to make!

So I know how to get my calf's ears forward in the show ring, but I find I'm constantly having to get at her, she won't keep them forward.  But I have seen people who manage to keep them forward the entire show, and I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks you were willing to share.

While in Denver, a parent explained to me how it, as a terminal show, works for lambs.  They explained that aside from the animals who qualify for the sale, the lambs are led directly from the ring to the truck, where the exhibitors receive market price.  Is this the case with steers as well?  I...

Anyone have any tips for cleaning all the glue and crud out of combs? I've decided to take on the task of cleaning all the show supplies.  Before you ask, yes, I am crazy.

There was another topic that was saying it's best to just have cold and dark for growing hair.  My problem is, I only have a small barn (it's really more of a 10' by 15' shed) without doors, so I can't get it very dark or cold.  I slicked out my heifer, and am trying to grow back a nice, full...

Living in Canada, I have never had the opportunity to experience one of these big steer shows that are brought up so often in posts on this site.  I would have loved to experience Fort Worth or Denver but couldn't get the time off of work.  Not only for the steer show, but also the female show...

Normally there is a post, so I thought I would start one.  I didn't get to make it out this year, so I thought I would see what people who were there thought. Which were your favorites? Rock salt and Italian stallion seemed to be getting pushed pretty hard, how did they measure up?

I got a bunch of brand new Weaver rope halters, but they are really slippery, and they wont stay tight under their jaw.  What do you do to get that waxy texture off?

I have heard a lot of mixed opinions regarding this, so I would love to have a topic dedicated just to this. I was told that you should always blow them, but now I'm hearing that it's better to rinse for 15-30 minutes, and then just brush them a bunch under the fans, and brush and blow in a...

I have a steer this year who has been chewing on his halter, so much so, that he has almost chewed right through it.  He is getting all of his vitamins and mineral, so I can't see that being the problem, I am guessing it's just a bad habit.  Anyone have any ideas for me, that could help him...
