Way to go! Hope you get what you want on the price thing!

Yet another great experience for first time showers! That is wonderful. And your results were super. I bet they are already making plans for next year!

congrats and great story! I could feel your excitement when I read it!

way to go!! Isn't a great feeling watching your kids do well at something they work hard at?

great pic!

Where we are...the heeler sell much better bred straight to other heelers. The mix with border collies do not seem to be as popular. I have a heeler and a corgi and love them both and they are very different. Crossing them may make the perfect dog!

I have had pretty good luck cutting off one, even if i did not get ever bit of it, but enough that it will bleed. Most times it will shrink and not come back and others usually go away too. However this winter, we had an lot more calves with warts than ever before, not sure why, but some have...

I just bought some great 2nd cutting beautiful alfalfa in round bales for $105/ton delivered to my place. Last year this stuff was a little less but I think a little lower quality as well. Anyone else have to buy hay out there and what does it cost you?

Do you have misters?

I agree with being calm and smooth. Young kids and beginners tend to rub with the show stick so fast they practically saw them open, so be conscious of that and slow down.  Also, smile and have fun!!! But, don't make it fake. You need to know the information on your animal, age, wt, feed...

My husband works full time from home remotely for a pet food company doing IT work and computer programming. He is the only employee that has this situation where he works at home most of the time and we live 4 hours from the office! I am a full-time rancher and we don't have enough cattle to...

I have been in contact with our resident alien, but he isn't around here for a number of reasons. Maybe researching other alien life forms??

Way to go! The calf looked real nice.

If you have a way to funnel the cattle from a large area gradually to a small area, this makes things much easier, especially when working cattle alone. We also have a catch with an alley that moves the cattle to another pasture, or you can catch them in the corral. The cows go into this really...

Are you sure she isn't a Braunvieh/Charolais cross? I have several that look just like that.. She looks great!! Good luck at the state fair.  Are you excited to go to Grand Island?

We did a similar project....frontage fence along driveway that was also pretty close to our house. We went with continuous fencing as some suggested, but just went with 4 bars. Still plenty adequate to keep cattle in, and considerably cheaper than 6 or 5 bar. I had a look more like the vinyl...

I have heard people say those with bob ears can rub off halters easier but never have seen one docked at a show for being bob eared. In some ways, I think the ears draw more attention to them, which to me would be a good thing if they were a decent calf.

Our bull stud ships UPS and it pretty much runs $80-90 anywhere in the country and that's 2 day.

You can really do it whenever but we generally avoid doing it during the summer months when flies are bad.

If she is that close, I would induce her and give her a chance at having the calf by keeping the BW down. Doesn't always work though....Had a yearling heifer that we induced when she got close. Calf weighed 70 pounds and was alright but came backwards and upside down and resulted in a c-section...
