"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!

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...

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...

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...

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? ...

I'm looking to design a logo for my cattle operation that can be embroidered on jackets and hats.  I'd like to incorporate the show steer logo.  Any suggestions on logo software/design options would be appreciated.  Also, any companies you have purchased embroidered logo wear from and would...
