Hi! So I purchased this heifer recently and showed her in the heifer show at the VCCP Winter Classic. She placed 6th and the only thing the judge said against her was that she had "maybe even too much muscle." I'm not sure what this means? She's still fairly deep bodied and big ribbed, fills her...

I have a heifer that is struggling off her back legs. She wants to swing them around fairly bad. When she gets in a tight spot & has to turn around she almost goes down on her back legs at times. She also trips occasionally as she really doesn't get her feet off the ground very well. Her front...

We've got what, in my opinion, is going to be a great steer. He was born in June and weighed 416 a week ago. He is not weaned yet, but after the fair this past week he has started the weaning process. He has access to all the hay he wants, is back with his mother now, and also has a creep...

June calf 416 lbs as of October 13th Sire is a GAR Expectation son Dam is a Jake's Proud Jazz daughter Can be registered shorthorn plus if needed GREAT hair--and has never been in a cooler, and honestly only rinsed/washed a few times before show day! It's not just "baby hair" either. Great bone...

Does anyone know of any shows in the East (I'm from NC) that are during this time? I have spring break and I really would like to show! If there are any in KY, TN, VA, GA, or SC that would be great, but possibly even WV or Ohio. Thanks!

I encourage every one of you to boycott or voice you disapproval of Pilot Travel Centers being a "featured corporate sponsor" of HSUS. This is ridiculous. It's up to us to let people know that FARMERS AND RANCHERS know more about the welfare and health of our animals than anyone! Inform them...

I'm wanting to show at the Ohio Beef Expo, but no one seems to be able to help me.. do I need to submit an entry form for the open show? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!

So this probably isn't something you hear about a lot on steerplanet, but I figure you all were better suited to help me find an internship that I'm interested in than anyone else! I am a junior at NC State University, majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Genetics. I have also been...

I've been feeding a simple diet with a 14% protein pellet (2.5% fat) and beet pulp, along with all the long stem hay my heifer will eat. I'm now wanting to fill her in around her hooks and loin, just to smooth her out. She just needs some cover! We ordered steam rolled corn, but I'm aware that...

I am trying to choose what bull to breed my heifer to, and have narrowed it down to TM Gus, Hillside Leader, or Martindell Blaster (at least I think that's right?). I am pretty sure I will be using Gus, but I wanted to get an idea of what the other two bulls looks like.. any clue as to where I...

Are fluffer combs really worth the money? I'm thinking of getting one if they really work. Thanks!

I am looking for a registered purebred shorthorn heifer, either a January, February, May or April. I already have a March heifer & would like to make sure they are in different classes. I am located in North Carolina. Please let me know if you have anything! Thank you!

I have a Jakes Proud Jazz x Ka'ba Leader shorthorn heifer. What would be the best bull to use on her? I'd like to have a purebred shorthorn calf but I'm worried about birth weights. If you know of any good bulls to use on her let me know! Thanks!

I have some embryos out of Solution, wondering what I should expect. Out of Brookwood Charmed Rose female. She's had some great calves in the past and I know he has too, but I didn't know if he always threw great calves. I'm just curious. Thanks!
