Had one of boys steers drop a nut recently. It was one we purchased as a steer out of a sale. He was never the most feminine thing, so him have a more cresty neck didn't concern me. I have not had a vet verify it, but if felt his sack and it's there.  My question is... how should I approach this...

So..... my wife has talked me into getting a few ewe's to breed. We've shown club lambs the last couple years, but I've never had any breeding sheep.  Does anyone know of any good books or on-line resources that talk about general husbandry, shot regimens, etc.?  Could I get a few and lamb them...

Yes it's a show pig blog :)  I set it up for a friend of mind.  Let me know what you think! Thanks, JRapp http://tuttshowpigs.blogspot.com/

Got a couple heifers that we're thinking of breeding a little different.  We've got a black Monop X Heat Seeker/Meyer 734/Stockman and a smoke WMW X Hoo Doo/Meyer.  Our first throught was I80 or I67.  The kids and wife like color....  so I got to thinking, maybe a shorty or Char/Smoke bull. ...

I noticed there hasn't been a lot of traffic on the Lamb Forum so thought I would ask here.... Does anyone keep there show lambs and goats together in the same pen when they are kicked out at night?  I wouldn't think there would be any issues... 

Looking for a bull to lease this spring for 30-60 days to cover any open's we have after AI'ing.  Needs to be TH/PHA free and calving ease.  Any suggestions? 

Has anyone used Bodyguard yet?  What kind of results are you seeing? One of our steers has several spots.  Several treatments of iodine and a week later the spots start to grow hair back and clear up a bit.  However, about every week we find a couple new spots.  I say new because the actual...

Does anyone have a barn that doesn't face south?  The reason I ask is that we are purchasing a new place that has a barn on it, however where the barn sit's to have the runs come out from the barn to the south, they could only go about 75 feet or so.  Just checking to see if anyone had any...

Going to make the southern Iowa to western Iowa swing this weekend. Planning on going to Hunter Bros. , Lautners to check out the Shorter Ranch calves, Otto Show steers, Weavers. .  Any place we should for sure hit in that area?  Any hidden gems out there? For what it's worth, my son doesn't...

We've got several smaller soy bean fields that just aren't going to amount to much. I was thinking of turning cattle out in them rather than feed so much hay. The beans are still technically in the growing stage, so they are green, but have very few if any pods. Anyone ever do this? Any...

Thinking of buying a Chevy 1500HD.  I pull a 20 Ft featherlite trailer to about 10 shows a year w/1-2 calves in it.  It has the same motor/Trany as the 2500, but not quite the suspension. Any comments good or bad? Thanks!

Anyone use this bull?  Results?  What type of cow's does he work on?  Females any good?  Any calf pics? Thanks for any info!

March One and Only heifer.  Super good calf, will make a awesome cow/donor once her show career is over.  Let me know what other info you might want. Thanks, Justin and Stacy Rapp Rapp Cattle Co. Columbia MO

Last year I remember there being some male sorted semen being promoted.  Anyone remeber what bulls it was on or if any is being offered this year?

Anyone on here been to either Matt or Phil's fall sales?  What's the sale average and what are they normally based at?  I'm sure it would be worth the 6 hour frive to check them out but don't really want to burn the fuel if ALL the calves are out of our price range. Thanks for any info.

Just wondering if the JPJ's are making good cows or not. Thanks for the input.

Got Phil's sire directory the other day. I was really impressed w/the red bulls Alabama Slammer, Red Dirt, Red Bull, and Six Pack. Anyone have any opinions on these bulls good/bad? Any vids of these bulls out there? My presonal fav's are Alabama Slammer and Red Dirt.

So I'm no Brad Hook, but I started up a blog of my own. It's mainly a water fowl hunting blog, but there will be calf pics on there as soon as we start calving this spring.  Let your hunting friends know. Pass it on! <rock> http://www.shootemboys.blogspot.com/ and our You Tube Channel...
