I just was looking at one of the cattle trade advertising magazines and see the ad for the Iowa Beef Expo Schedule for 2022.  No Shorthorn sale listed-- they do have listed an AOB sale.  Any shorthorn folks out there know if the Shorthorn group just didn't make advertising deadline or will they...

I looked to see if this could be in the classifieds, but there is no classified section.  Anyone interested in: Shorthorn Semen:  Lead Outside the Box  #4162691  Embryo calf by Leader 21st and Shadybrook cow. Semen is free to anyone that would like some to try in their Shorthorns or cross on...

Hey-- Saw the Shorthorn Sale was a different format this year-- how did it go?  Any likes, dislikes, etc.  What are the thoughts?

I see the Classfied section is down, so I am going to post this here. I need to move some semen out of the tank and to new owners-- Opportunity for anyone interested in this semen. Bull was DNA tested and test results are on file with the ASA.  Bull:  Lead Outside the Box ET  Tattoo:  47X ...

I don't really follow who is doing what anymore in the shorthorn circles-- I am down to only making it to one or maybe to sales each fall.  I like the commercial aspect of the KL line-- what is up with the dispersal-- retiring, changing directions, etc.  Thanks EF

Had another first-- calf born with a cleft palate.  He can nurse--  I watched that very closely this weekend, but down the road am I looking at him not being able to graze in the pasture with mom and the herd?  Anyone have experience with this? thanks EF

Just cruising around on the web looking at the beef expos in the Midwest and see the Shorthorn sale for Illinois is cancelled for 2017?  Any Illinois people know if it was numbers, no one to manage it, etc.  Just curious what happened. EF

Any results from this sale?  What were the pricing trends-- were they following the commercial market this fall for the heifers and breds or were they following the purebred sales? Thanks!  EF

I finally was able to read the new rule changes for WHR started in September.  I would like to get some other members' opinions on the new system.  Membership is going up to 100.00-- wow We will still have the annual WHR fees per breeding animal over age 20 mos. my questions are more for...

I am thinking of having a little fun this summer with breeding.  I have a good sized Shorthorn cow that has plenty of bone-- don't need anymore of that.  She is clubby type breeding in her background.  I think it would be fun the try a simmi on her and see what I get.  Would like a bit more...

Well we are off to a sprinting start-- Heifers are coming as scheduled according to the breeding notes from last year, but everything is BIG this spring.  I have had to pull several, which is a bummer.  I made sire selections to not be big and have good CE numbers.  I am a believer to a degree...

Hey, should have posted this after the sale, but on those big semen lots that Kirby Winter was selling-- how did those go? Is Kirby getting out of Shorthorns or was he just selling items he wouldn't be using again in the future? Thanks EF

The weather in the US is definitely following that goofy trend again this year. SW Iowa-- after last night's 3 inches at my house-- (with hay down of course- and now it will be days before we can rake) we are definitely saturated and beyond again!! June has been wet, wet, wet. I am getting...

I received my June copy of the Iowa Cattleman's Association magazine yesterday and they had an article in the government and legislative section to update about where the proposal is on WOTUS.  The described that possible if the proposal is accepted that there would be a permit process to all...

There was a post on here over the winter and the topic now fails me-- I think it was one of the water conservation/water rights posts about what is going on in Oregon.  Someone attached a copy of the Agenda 21 article out of the RANGE magazine.  I read this completely and then went to the range...

Anyone have any results for Monday's shows or sales at the Iowa Beef Expo? Thanks EF

Does anyone have the results from the Cedar Valley Sale on October 27 at Kirkwood Community College? Thank you in advance! EF

Great day with great cattle, great people and great food!  Once again the Studers and friends have outdone themselves! Sale was brisk with a lot of great cattle going all over the US Lot 1:  3500-- definitely a bargain in my opinion-- bulls are only going to get more expensive 2:  4500 2a: ...

Ok- Steerplanet members from the Pierce NE area-- what is the story with this dealer? I am watching the History channel special about the sale right now and can't believe what I am seeing!  Did the rest of the family finally say- "ok, we want our money- get rid of the cars"  Who has the...

Just cruising through some web pages and online sale sites for calves and cows this fall and am noticing that there are a percentage of pics from some of the sales that you can't see the feet??????? Is this the latest sale fashion? Do they have duck feet? Do they have chicken feet-- ok now I'm...
