My daughter got her new project steer(April MAB calf) a few weeks ago. He has been great at home for the most part except acts like a green calf at times, nothing surprising. He has been tied for a couple hours each day, broke to a show stick, washed, blown and clipped on. All that has been easy...

I am finally getting around to updating on my daughter's first year of having a steer(or any cattle for that matter). To refresh, we bought a steer from Trausch Farms sale last year. He was a April smokey colored steer by Blueprint and out of a HooDoo cow. We sure learned a lot this first year...

This is our Bodacious x Angus heifer. She is 11 months old. We would like you opinions on her and who you would breed her to. We are thinking I-80? She is registered with the ACA association (Chimaine), it show that she is 1.89 Chianina, 13.89 Angus, 19.24 Maine and 64.98 Other. Guess that...

This is my daughter's first cattle project and my first one in 28 years. Boy have things changed but most of the basics are coming back to me. He is not show clipped yet, this is just a rinse and blow. Their first show is this weekend. We weighed him the other day and he weighed in at 910#. At...

It started with my daughter's steer and we quickly treated it with Athletes Foot cream and it was gone almost as soon as it started. Then the heifer got it and she has it bad. We have been treating her the same way and its not going away. Someone suggested pour on Ivermectrin, but Ring Worm is a...

I am looking for a bit of advise. So far we have a very nice market steer for my daughter to show at our fair late next summer and we have a March heifer by Bodacious that we plan to show a little and then breed. We want to get at least one more female but have limited funds. Our goal is to...

Being new to the cattle I figure I best get a "must have" first aid kit for them. While I am lucky to have my vet just down the street I do a lot of my own basic vet work on my horses and have worked as a surgical Vet Tech so I have some good basic knowledge(with horses). I already have on hand...

Some of you may remember that we just bought my daughter her first steer for our fair next Labor Day weekend. Well yesterday we decided to go with some friends to a sale( Leo Bright Bros) and we ended up buying a heifer. She is by Bodacious and out of a Angus cow. We think she is a pretty nice...

We just picked up my daughter's steer from the hauler today. We purchased him from Trausch Farms Sale. He is a April calf. He is sired by Blueprint and out of a Hoodoo cow. He traveled about 1700 miles and looks pretty darn good for the long trip. We unloaded him and after a brief skiing, he...

I have been looking at online sales and before I dig much deeper I was wondering what it typically costs to ship a calf? I live in California and so many of the online sales are many states away from me. Do the transport companies charge by the mile or by the trip. I have shipped many horses...

Hi there. I am a mom of a 14 year of girl in 4-H who wants to show a market steer. Its been 30 years since I showed a market steer in FFA and so much has changed. This last year she raised two very nice market lambs that finished 2nd and 3rd in their classes. We also show, breed and train...
