We purchased a Lone Ranger steer from Scott Campbell's sale in the fall.  We think this steer is pretty good.  https://www.youtube.com/embed/VPUT4V1GIKY

Update: I've been treating the steer's tail with Shapely's MTG.  Hair begins to regrow, but you can pull it right out.  Doesn't seem to be attached.  Very, very strange. Any idea on something else to try?  I will try and post a pic tomorrow.  Thanks!

"Who's your daddy?" is the question I've asked a couple of our newborn calves. Running two purebred shorthorn bulls in the same pasture.  What is the process for paternity testing calves?  Thanks!

First calf of 2015.  Purebred SH bull calf (Muridale Bonanza 103U X Hot Commodity Son) out of a first calf heifer.  Born when the windchill was -24.  Worked like the dickens for 4 days to keep his ears intact.  Not sure if he'll stay a bull or steer him.  Time will tell. 

We have a black steer that I noticed when combing his tail I was getting clumps of hair with bright white rings around the hair follicles.  Upon further looking I discovered about a 4 inch patch from the end of tail up of thick bright white crust.  I'm pretty experienced with ringworm and this...

I have a fairly new pair of Andis Ultra Edge clippers (blue special edition) that worked great on Saturday, but plugged them in yesterday and went to turn on and they acted like they blew a fuse.  I thought maybe I blew a fuse in the breaker box, but not the case.  Clippers won't do anything...

Contact Thelma Halderman at Custom Sign Designs out of New Paris, Ohio https://www.facebook.com/pages/Custom-Sign-Design/138035576274501 http://www.haldermanshowcattle.com/signs.html We've ordered trailer lettering, stall signs, and wooden steer cutouts.  Prices are very reasonable and Thelma...

We use a curry comb to scrape them off and then feed them to the steer/heifer.  Seems to heal pretty quickly.

We've just returned from our second trip to Shorthorn Jr. Nationals.  We go for the experience and to meet great people.  We are in our 3rd year of showing cattle, so still novices, but love learning from the pros. My daughter has a September 2012 heifer that she showed last year as a senior...

Just heard today that the 2016 Shorthorn Jr. Nationals is heading to Oklahoma City.  Not sure if it will be a stand alone show or combined with other breeds. 

I emailed the ASA and was informed that the Shorthorn Jr. Nationals next year is returning to Grand Island, Nebraska. 

Could be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.  When hauling cattle and show equipment (chute, blowers, show box, stall sides, etc...) to shows do you prefer to put the cattle up front and equipment on the back over the axels or vice versa?  We have a (new to us) Eby 24" trailer with...

Looking to get a new generator and was curious if anyone has the Generac GP7500E.  (9375 starting watts and 7500 running watts)  I'm wanting something that will pull a couple blowers with no problem.  Let me know your thoughts.  Thanks!

We recently purchased the below work string lights.  We evenly space them around the top of the chute, zip tying the chord and use the sprial shaped energy efficient bulbs.  Works great.  Just have to be careful when hauling as we smashed a couple bulbs when the show box bumped into it while...

I'm needing to get a couple fans for the barn and to take to shows.  I'm curious if the Sullivan fans are worth the extra money.  I've been using a couple 20 inch "Garage Extreme" fans from Menards that only cost $45 each, but am willing to buy the Sullivan fans if they are really that much...

When you get a chance could you post or email a picture of your continuous fence?

While wandering around Menards last night I walked past the black iron pipe in the plumbing section.  I got to wondering if you can use it for fencing.  My idea would be to run it 5 bars across and fasten it to wood fence post every 10 feet or so.  Anybody know if you can use it for fencing? ...

OK....so I'm not crazy....other folks are having success using the goat trick on ringworm.  Anybody (vets or other PhD's) out there know why or how this works?
