We are looking for someone in the area or that would be willing to come to our farm and teach us to clip.  We have been showing for many many years and have either relied on my now married daughter and she is no longer home and we need to learn ourselves.  We need the advanced show clipping.  We...

What is your market hiefers weights. We are hoping for.about 1125 for late August date. We are.guessing about 550 to 600. Are we okay at this weight? Have not shown a market for a few years and not a clubby type hiefer in many years. She is an eye candy.

We have a fall of 2016 born heifers we have been shown a few times and she rides the calf in front of her all the time. She is confirmed bred 2 1/2 months so we know she is not in heat. She has placed very high all times but is just naughty.  Yes my daughter babies her beyond believe but she...

Would like suggestions on good Simmental bulls to use if you are looking for real world production but actually may get a flashy calf that could make the show ring. Some of these bulls that I would love to use just do not milk well unless it is already in the cows genes to milk. Most of our...

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade hot sweat?

Please give me your opinions good or bad. She is a Yardley High Regard x Commercial BC Lookout.

I have heard Fresh & Feminine is great but have never used and don't know much about. Can you use on a bred heifer and would you use in this fall of 2016 heifers. We are hoping to bring her back to state fair this year as about a 7-8 month bred heifers but I do know senior yearlings are hard to...

Has anyone tried to make a homeade show box or had one built.  We had a steel one built about 10 years ago and it is on its last leg and I really do not like it.  My husband and I cannot see spending $1000 to buy the new one we would like at Sullivans.  Nothing against them as we have bought...

Anyone have any Revival Heifers out there from this last spring. If so how do they look? We are looking at some Revival Heifers maybe Monday and am a little leafy. We want them to be showy but produce in the pasture as well.

We plan to breed this heifer Jan or Feb of this coming year as she is just an October 15, 2016 calf and we are planning to show her next summer as a senior Yearling. She was a purple ribbon class winner at MN State Fair this week. She is a Yardley High Regard son out of a commercial Sim-Angus...

We have a heifer that we showed at our county fair and will be going to state fair. She looked awesome at our county fair and yesterday she still looked good but a bit stale and appeared a little short strides. She does not pop. In the evening her loading pen is cement and I'm wondering if this...

Has anyone tried to give their show calves hair vitamins(the people ones). I am looking for a cheaper alternative to all the hair supplements. We currently are rinsing twice daily and put under fans. We do have a cooler but have opted not use it the last couple years as it is such an energy...

Does anyone know how long you can feed Purina Heavyweight? We are feeding Grand 4T Fyer but would like to add the Heavyweight on a market heifer to gain weight fast. She currently weigh about 850-860 empty and we would like her 1150 to 1200 by our county fair third week in July and we would like...

My daughter has been on a general livestock knowledge bowl team for a couple of years. They have a lot of fun but really struggle. Does anyone know of any games that can be played to help study. I just think they rely on memory to much and my daughter said she is not good with memory. She learns...

We have a market heifer that currently weighs 680. Is it possible to get her to 1050-1100 lbs by July 21 and what do you recommend for feed. She is a little shorter in structure so keep that in mind. She has plenty of gut but I guess a little more wouldn't hurt.

We have a market heifer and a market steer. The steer is approx 850 and heifer is about 775. The heifer is a little short and has a shorter cannon bone which I understand is somewhat in the genetics but she is a beautiful heifer and the steer has plenty of bone but needs to start filling in...

We have a very nice April 2016 born market heifer but I am worried a little about hip height. She does have that beautiful show steer look but I am a little afraid of hip height. Just for a little background she is an I-80 X Monopoly X Friction. Any suggestions appreciated.

Just curious what everyone's thought are on all the online sales this year?  We have been watching quite a few this year and it seems that most of the club steers and heifers are going dirt cheap. Do you feel this is just because the cattle markets are so down or are the calves just that low of...

We have a calf that has a drooping ear and has trouble with balance and being able to stand properly.  It was fine yesterday morning when my husband went to work but when we both came home it had the droopy ear and trouble standing properly.  We had a few calves with snotty noses so we gave...

We have a show heifer that seems to kick at her belly a lot with her back legs. Does anyone have any idea what it could be. She doesn't appear to be sick.
