Looking for some ideas on mineral/feed programs for 4H kids to incorperate into there daily feed program to help there calves reach maximum potentiel. We ways talk about structure of an anj.al but mabey dont put enough i.pietance on a good program and im lookimg for some differwnt ideas.

Unfortunately the shorthorn breed is not diverse enough and the show bloodlines  only care about long necked cattle that are pretty but those cattle are hard doing and man made a lot of times. As for Waco cattle there was also another Waco heifer sold for a large amount not mentioning where or...

Matt it is alittle tricky to see it in the video but you can see he dose not get off his front end right.I personally saw him in Toronto,and bob gobble even commented on how he toed out abit, but it was actually a lot, and that will not get better as a yearling or as he matures. In my opinion he...

As others say he had some things about him that you liked. But he also had some bad structure issues aswell, his front feet toe out east and west as straight out as a compass. He was also plenty big for a few calf. I wonder if they will have him at tro to again this year

What's the best shorthorn bull of all time for making momma cows, easy fleshing, deep sided and have that great head in them

I have used him on heifers and had no issues

Xbar what you have to remember is the western boys like them as big as they can get me and don't mind them dirty fronted.

That is one thing that is true judges picking these zipper fronted, fat as hogs fat cattle. They need to teach kids good cattle not how to hide flawes in poor cattle by growing hair and fitting them to the nines. Judges also need to start picking more cow calf pairs that have proven themselves...

My problem isn't the hybrid vigour my problem isn't finding a niche. My problem is when people say shorthorns are the better breed and always have been. I owned a whole herd of horns bout from rebatable breeders spent lots of money on good cattle and bloodlines, I lost my shirt trying to feed...

Like the front 2 thirds would like to see more shape in her lower quarter. Would also like to change her skull a tad shortin up that nose giver her a it more jaw

Librarian if your shorthorns are so superior and sways have been why do you need the angus cross in there at all? And let's be clear iam not saying there isn't potential for the horns to regroup and change the breed for the better but there are to many that thinks it's fine the way it is and...

It's pretty hard to say that shorthorns are superior to angus when your shorthorns have no clue what direction they are going. Are they a beef breed or a milking breed or a club calf breed? Just go to the sale barn and see what happens when the horns walk through the ring they bring about as...

I guess how to out show a better calf can fall under this question as well but I was more wondering what people have seen other people do, if you will dirty pool to win the class besides bribe the judge

Was wondering what are some of the tricks people have seen in the showring to bury the good ones.

Rye grass is good for pasture and hay can broadcast seed but no till works best

My apologizes to the great knabe of steer planet  ;). Just take a look at the angus breed they have bws in check and have lots of performance what's wrong with having a 75-85 pound calf and having more performance than a 100 pound calf at birth

Doc are you saying calving ease isn't important? I think that, that particular trait is important especially when you get into the non show barn oriented cattle and in the shorthorn breed I think it's extra important to find these bulls that will reduce calving difficulties as much as possible...

Sue they say theres a sucker born everyday, i think hes over priced hes unproven big ol bw on him which shorthorns dont need to be any bigger, hes a monster as aj pointed out probably hasnt seen the outside of a show barn, seen aolt of cheaper bulls such as the yesterday bull and bet he will...

It is just not a 100 dollars tho, it's a 1000.00 dollars and shipping on top of that depending where you are located. But what I'm getting at is it drives me kinda crazy, that they have a 10 dose min plus charge way to much so that people will breed there best, if a bull is good enough he should...

I know this post is from awhile ago, but I was talking with some guys and had remembered about seeing this on sp. from the pics the bull looks pretty good, looks big though. I heard his semen is a 100 dollars a pop plus 10 dose min, I thinks that's pretty steap is the bull not good enough to...
