hello, I have a bull that i am showing and he has a few good sized warts that need to be taken care of. I did some searching on here and found that most of you like to cut them off and feed them back too them and then put iodine where the warts use to be. My bull is white and i am concerned...

I just had a heifer calve a couple days ago and she wont let her calf nurse. :-\ Its not that she wont let the calf nurse at all because she dose let it nurse, but only on one quarter. My thought on the situation is that her udder is so swollen  that it hurts. She doesn't even like her udder...

I have seen people post topics on here before about which bull they should flush their cow to and I was hoping some people on here might be able to help me too. I have a NPS Durango cow  that is out of a Marellan Super Dazzler daughter that we are planning on flushing. What shorthorn bull do you...

Has anyone ever given ivomec injections to their cattle for lice and have it not work? ??? I am positive that I gave the corect dosage and this is the second time I have had this happen. I have used ivomec for lice before and it worked just fine and I always give my show animals the shots...

I just got my Jan. shorthorn country in the mail yesterday. Did anyone see that bull in ther called Joe Da Vinci (spelling ?) I cant remember the name of his owners right off the top of my head but they are from Illinois. Hes a roan Cunia X Mona Lisa 34L. Very interesting and cool pedigree. I...

These questions are just out of curiosity, but  why don' t you see many show cattle with horns anymore? Actually the only show cattle that I have ever seen with horns are the horned herefords. Is is mostly because the animal looks better or is it for safety reasons or both. I was told for the...

Here are a couple pictures of my bull calf that was born back in June. He is out of Sin City and a K-Kim Oketo cow. I posted his picture back in July I think, but he has grown a lot since then. I just want to see what everyone thought of him. What I want to know most is if he is good enough to...

Thanks so much for all the feedback I feel better knowing that is ok for a cow to go 14 days past her due date and i can understand the bad genetic deal being the cause of a big dumb calf I think that is what happened with my calf that died. We did contact and previous owner and he said that she...

Hello everyone, my dad and i bought a cow that was AI'd and was suppose to calve on the 3rd of september but she still hasn't calved and is about two weeks exactly over due. I have been told by my vets that they dont like to induse cattle and just like to let mother nature take its course. I was...

Does anyone know much about this shorthorn bull? I was looking at the pedigree of one of my cows and saw that her grandsire  on her dams side was a bull named JG Red Cloud and that name sounded so familiar but couldn't think of where I had read or heard that name before. Anyone have a picture of...

How many people do this on their heifers? Is shaving off the necks just a matter of preference?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to control algae in a stock tank. We need to get an automatic waterer but for now all we have are stock tanks. I try to keep it as clean as I possible can but its a pretty big tank. I've tried those bags that are filled with barley and i use then in...

Has anyone used him? If so do you like him and his calves? Also has anyone tried that bull named Eye Candy?

This is really the only cow left that I don't have a bull picked out to breed her to and I cant really decide what to breed her too. She needs in my opinion more rib and I think that she needs to be a little thicker and have a bit more muscle. She is also very leggy and so is her Churchill calf...

What does every one think of this bull? How are the BWs on his calves? Does he fix any problems in some cattle, for example give them more volume, rib, thickness, etc...? Is he working well on all lines of cattle (like non-trump lines as well as trump lines)?

I got a kick out of this when I read it and so did my Ag-teacher she actually liked it so much she hung it up in her classroom. Some may have read it before but I found this while rummaging through some old papers and just thought I would share it with you all and hopefully you get a laugh out...

I have a heifer that every time I brush a comber her she gets this layer of hair that has fallen out that is sitting on top of her hair coat and some times it is real easy to pull her hair out. I was wonder if this is a normal thing for cattle to go through shedding stages during the summer or...

Hello I am new to this site and posted this in the help section instead of the Big Show section and was told to post my topic here (thanks Garret). I need some help I am new to the show cattle industry and have a shorthorn bull calf sired by Sin City out of an Oketo daughter. I have no idea...
