    Iowa expo heifer show judge

    The show wasn't  Judged the best , marginal on reading structure and the grand and reserve females  were not close to top end  cattle. Heck the grand female should have been beat in a average class.

    Interesting reading on Sullivan flyer !!!!!

    Go look at the commercial cattle producer cattle in states like s.d. Or nebraska , it's a moderate cow with a frame 6 or even 7 frame bull. Most of the shorthorn cattle are good sized ,but the majority of the shorthorn yard cattle are way too small for real world beef production. When your herd...

    Sullivan's New Products

    I think both those new combs will have their place in the industry.  I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the wizard comb.  I think it's going to be a great showbarn tool.  The Alert could be a good product on hot days when cattle tend to get lazy in the ring.

    Weaver Livestock Products

    The first time I tried the Weaver adhesive and touch ups I thought they were ok, not great.  Then I tried them again 2 weeks ago, helping a friend on an average spring day, not that hot or humid and I couldn't get the adhesive to keep from melting. All the leg hair was wanting to fall down 10-15...

    Weaver Livestock Products

    We've used Sullivan's for years like everyone else so wanted to give the new brand a shot.  What we found was the Tail and prime time of Sullivan's just cannot be beat.  the drying time is so much faster and holds up better in weather extrememes.  The weaver adhesives tend to fall down before...

    Durafan Work Horse Basket Fans

    I think a lot of people have tried the Durafan.  There is a reason why it's cheaper.  They flat out do not hold up.  The fan that I've had the best luck with holding up by far is the Turbo.  The cage lasts forever and the motor has heavier duty specs than the Schaefer.  I used to use Schaefers...

    Dyeing hair tips

    Sorry for the contradictory tips here but DO NOT use human dye.  Use only dye formulated for cattle.  Sullivan's Black Velvet is such and won't dry out your calf's skin.  Follow instructions on the pkg.  It's not hard to do.  and yes, wear a glove.

    Duhrams for Denver

    I like showing cattle as much as the next guy and definitely think you must target the markets that you can make a living at.  Whether you sell cattle in the sale barn or in the purebred auction ring, what they bring... THAT IS THE REAL WORLD.  The interesting thing about looking through the...

    What happened to the Shorthorn country topic?

    What happened was Trevor Grey Cattle and the Truth showed their lack of class again and wrote inappropriate and inaccurate threads and got it pulled.  Congratulations to the Shorthorn breed and Shorthorn Plus on winning such a fantastic honor.

    Denver Shorthorn bull show

    The grand bull, SULL Traveler I agreed with too.  He is extremely deep, good testicled, easy moving bull.  The reserve bull was a little up in the air.  Probably would have went with the Stockman bull or the young bull of Cates that ended up reserve.  I just didn't see enough flank or slope to...

    Cover of January Black,OOPs I mean Shorthorn Country

    Congratulations on a great fete accomplished by the Shorthorn breed.  All Shorthorn and Shorthorn Plus breeders should be proud.  To The Truth and Trevor Grey Cattle Co shame on you.  You seem to bash anyone who has success in your breed that doesn't agree with the exact type of cattle that you...

    Duhrams for Denver

    The commercial cattleman wants performance.  They need real world growth bulls to use on the English bred cows that are grazing the countryside.  Most of the bulls that I saw in the Shorthorn pen show were too small framed to use on your typical Angus cow.  A lot of the bulls looked  more like...

    Show Stopper Supplies
