    Steer-Any Thoughts?

    This is a February 28th Simmental steer. He is out of BMR Explorer and I'm not sure what his dam's name is. I am thinking about getting him for a 4-H market steer. Pictures are from a cell phone and they aren't great. Any thoughts or opinions from what you can see?

    Questions to Ask

    I am looking at a February 28 Simmental steer. He is about 3 hours away and I don't have time to go look, so my sister will be going to look at him later today. He is out of BMR Explorer. I am not sure who his dam is. I have not seen any recent pictures of him. I will be able to post some when...

    Irrational fears

    CLOWNS. I have always been afraid of them and will hide behind whoever is around me to get away from them. I once went to a haunted house that had some really creepy looking clowns that were chasing people around and cornering them. I probably would have died if they had done it to me. I sort...

    How long does your fair take to send you the check from the sale??

    Anyone Familiar With Grass Seed Screening Pellets?

    It has been suggested that I start feeding my steer grass seed screening pellets (grass seed screenings ground up and pelleted with soybean oil and molasses). I don't know much about them, but I do know that they are 9% protein, 2% fat and 27% fiber. I can get them for fairly cheap and it was...

    Drinking water at shows

    I had a calf once that would only drink her water if I put Pepsi in it. It should work the same as Kool-Aid or Gatorade, but you shouldn't have to worry about staining. Plus, it was easiest to get at the time (vending machine on the other side of the barn).
