I was wondering how safe it would be to haul a bred cow/calf pair to the county fair to show. She would be 46 days bred the day we haul in to the fair and she would stay there the entire week. Any opinions?

We had an Amen heifer last year and will breed THC cows to him again.  The heifer is sound as a cat, very correct and gentle as a pup. I was looking for depth and smaller frame in the resulting calf, he did reduce frame on this particular cow (which was a good thing). I have retained the heifer...

Nice set firesweep, you can be proud to say you raised those gals. I especially like the Grandmaster heifer. Dixie

Looks like she turned into a darn good Momma cow for you!

Has anyone seen the bull Crowd Favorite? what were your thoughts and what type of cow would he work best on?

We will be there, bringing in 6 steers and 2 heifers. Three of the steers and one heifer will show as B/O, always a good weekend that everyone looks forward to.

Love a good calf period. With that said, a solid color pattern of any color just flows consistently and smoothly from point A to point B, where as a broken pattern is just that broken. The painted calf many times (depending where the white is located) appears all chopped up, it doesn't appear...

I'm with Cowboy on the breed, Chi x Angus.

I'm with you justme, the world today has become so impersonal. We don't talk to one another in person or via phone anymore either, it's email or text. Almost everything has gone to the web and trying to buy cattle like this is just too frustrating for me. It's a shame that we have our future...

Congratulations, looks like he is coming along well. One you can certainly be proud to say you raised!

Far too many dairy market steers as well as dairy feeders at our county fair in Michigan. They have far out numbered our Beef steers for many years. At the present time the buyers are very discouraged with the feeder program as they are expected to purchase all of these animals that they have...

Great job feeding cyclone38 and for being someone who can and will give kids a chance to show stock that don't have the facilities of their own to get the job done! Congrats and keep up the good work  (clapping).

We buy some from them every year and have never had a problem. Everything we have used from them this year stuck first time.

Frostback she is with a dozen cows with calves at side and four yearling heifers. One good 'ole cow is as good as a gomer bull, just one of the many reasons she stays around. We are out amongst them a couple of times a day and no there has been no discharge, nothing. Good luck to you with yours...

I need some input please. I have a first calf heifer who calved in March unassisted, and still has not cycled. This heifer caught first service last year is good body condition with a good mineral program, has been vaccinated etc. We have used the seven day CIDR protocol, no response, gave...
