Is anyone here attending the show in Albert Lea, MN this weekend? A young guy we work with will have some there with our limi breeding. Just curious....

I just wanted to give a big shout out to some good friends at Windy Pine Cattle Co. They won champion Angus steer at WI state fair today. If memory serves me, this is a steer they raised. He also won Grand Champion steer at their county fair just a couple of weeks ago and I can't think of a more...

I am looking for some input and insight on matings for a base of Limi cows like the one pictured below. Most of our purebred females and some of our herd bulls are maternal sisters and brothers to this cow. She is a frame 7 and weighs a solid 1700lbs. We are not looking to moderate the size of...

I just wanted to take a moment to post a couple of pics of a doeling we bred and plan to show heavily in the next few months. She is 6 months in the photos and is showing some awesome potential. Please feel free to comment, we are very proud of this one and hope others see the same things we do!

I am hoping some fellow SP users will check out our new and updated website. Look us up at bootjackcattleco.net! Comments are welcome and appreciated. Please keep in mind that the site is "under construction" and is the brain child of my 15 year old sister, so please be constructive and helpful!

Around our place, its not just calving season, but also time for spring kidding! Here are some candids from the barn this week (the lighting leaves something to be desired). Photo 1 is a 3 week old son of our herdsire Austin and his dam is standing behind him in the pic. He is a weather prospect...

This is a March born bull calf we have been getting ready to show. He was reserve bull for his breed over this last weekend at the North Star Classic in North Dakota. Opinions and comments appreciated!

This is my sister's Angus yearling she is getting ready for the fall and winter shows. Any opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Anybody use this bull? I realize he has produced some winners, but his growth number are not impressive. Just wondering if they do grow outside the show string. Thanks in advance for any replies!

Why won't my photos load to the classifieds properly. One loads, but it is almost unrecognizable. Never had this problem before! >:(

For those of you who also have Boers! These are our fall born kids, all sired by our herd buck Austin. Here they are at 2 and 3 days old.

I had heard more than a couple of times over the last week or so that next year, the Minnesota State Fair will be an adhesive free beef show. The reasoning was not a fairness issue, but that the city will not allow the chemicals to enter the water supply, so to continue to have the show, no...

Well, we are home from the show and had a great time. Just wondering how everyone did. I recognized some fellow planeteers being announced with winners over the past couple of days, so here is your opening for a little shameless self- promotion! ;) I also wanted to say congrats to the guys from...

My nephew loves cattle and has spent the last year tagging along to shows and "helping" brush, blow and lead calves. Last weekend, he got some time in the ring too at a small local event called Kids and Cows. It is aimed at involving very young and non-ag kids with cattle in a highly chaperoned...

Does anyone know of any reputable Australian Cattle dog breeders in the midwest or central states? I am hoping to find someone who has puppies available now or the next couple of months. They do not need to be registered, but must fit breed standard (not small Texas type) and have working...

What is everyone's opinions on branding on a beef animal's show side shoulder or hip. Tacky, okay or don't care? I've seen some well-known herds in our area do it and I have to wonder if its just playing politics in the show ring. I understand why some choose to brand, we do it as well, but is...

Has anybody used Brand Name? What kind of results did you get? I really like the looks of this bull, and I used him on a couple head, so I am curious! Thanks in advance for any responses!

This is a Charolais Limousin cross calf born 2/24/2012. He is sired by the bull in my avatar. Would he do for a slick show steer?

I would like some input as to which semen tanks people prefer. We have used the same one for several years and are looking at getting a new one. It is a "Super 6", not sure who makes it. It is reliable and the only issue is its size. It can hold enough semen for us, but the neck is tiny. If you...
