    It's Not About Winning, It's About Deserving to Win

    People like you, especially young people like you, are what makes this such a great thing. My son has shown his own cattle for the last three years.  He has done very well considering he has been choosing them from a small commercial herd.  This will be the first year he has shown a purchased...

    What are the joys of getting older?

    Uh, um, er, uh... Dang, uh... I don't remember what I was gonna say. It really depends on how you live your life now.

    What breed of cattle do you prefer?

    Great reason. See, it is a trick question.

    What breed of cattle do you prefer?

    This is a trick question. I'd say Angus. Calving ease, great records (naturally polled records back to 600A.D.), the naturally dark skin result in fewer skin and eye problems. The packers like them. They taste great. They grade very well. You can run them in the mountains or high desert. They...

    Breeding choices?

    Wow! Livestock shows sure vary by location

    I don't think it is quality of the calf, but quality of the coat and amount of time put into it that amaze me. We are fairly northern, but some of the pictures I have been seeing from the Midwest, Texas, Louisiana etc., well, the hair, it's amazing. We have a few commercial angus cows, and we...

    Wow! Livestock shows sure vary by location

    I am really amazed at how different the local fairs and livestock shows here differ from what I have found on the web.  Smiling Bob is a great example, although extreme, but more common than I thought. So many cattle have so much more hair in the shows in other regions. If I can figure out how...

    Shag?

    You can do a search, just click on forum, then click on search, and it should pop up with a dialog bar and just type in shag there. I just figured that one out, newbie here. There are several results. Ooo, just noticed, there is a place to do a search right above. On my screen there is a line...
