    Biggest Issue Facing Animal Agriculture

    Fort Worth Stock Show Champion Xbred Selection Video.

    I guess we'll agree to disagree . You go to the quarter horse world show and those halter classes are just as big and take just as long and those kids are dressed to the nines . I do agree they don't need to be blinged out , but I would expect good go to meeting clothes . That little girl in...

    Fort Worth Stock Show Champion Xbred Selection Video.

    I watched the Fort Worth video . I've never seen any pictures/video of any of these big shows . So I have a question . Is there a rule against these kids wearing cowboy hats when showing ?

    The man paid for the grass , Leachman was tresspassing . 500 head of horses! Pull your head out and give it a shake , there is no way you can manage that many horses and do them justice . He might have had some bloodlines , but you weren't buying finished horses . Breeding paper to paper without...

    Who thinks this is the same calf????? I am not impressed!!!!

    This is off the topic , but if you bought open heifers and brought them home to your bulls , how is the seller responsable for them getting bred ? He sold them open .  I'am sure you paid a load of money for them , did you get at least a  pelvic exam ?

    Skidsteers/Bobcats

    We have a bobcat on our place and it's a great piece to have . They do get stuck fairly easy in the snow/ice and mud with wheels , you learn to bucket your way out . I like the bobcat for the ease of servicing it . Open the back door and everything is right there . The last ranch I was on had a...

When they would start to get finished they couldn't hardly move . One of the big cow buyers in Montana runs about 1100 of red angus cows . He normaly runs char...

    working stock dogs

    Well you have a ton of chioces and million ways things can turn out . For what it sounds like you have I would strongly suggest  NOT getting a border collie that is hanging tree or McNabb bred . They have way to much bite and are reall amped up . I haven't seen a aussie that work stock worth a...
