    Where does all the money come from?

    Maybe not from this year, but from recent past years lots of grain farmers have had LOTS of money they had to spend. Someone told me that at a well known sale last year of club calf producing females there were very few in the seats without seed corn caps on. It averaged over 10,000 on bred...

    Frustrated with Showmanship and Your Showmanship Tips!

    I mentioned a kid previously in this thread that showed my cattle and  always won showmanship contests here and that I really couldn't tell you why he won. He just won the Senior showmanship division at the National Junior Simmental Association Summer Classic. So I'm glad someone sees things I...

    Unprofessionalism

    I like what Rober and VC said about there being more to it than the actual show. I am with Clint as well. And I certainly don't feel that anyone should be running around screaming. However, I take exception to this "Competition is great, wanting to win is as well, expecting to win everytime...

    Frustrated with Showmanship and Your Showmanship Tips!

    I am sure everything everyone else said was correct but all I see is the posture and the left arm like was pointed out before. I would disagree with Justin on the feet placement not being as important only because there are so many that will do the other things perfectly that becomes the...

    Buttercup Cell Line??

    It's ok that you've missed it. Probably couldn't see through the purple haze. You've probably missed all the disparaging remarks he's made to children as well.  And I certainly didn't mean to attack  his character. I mean how can you attack something that doesn't exist? He is a dope head. Ask...

    SULL Traveling Ruby or Trying to do well and not sell your kidneys to do it.

    Congratulations Justin you work hard and you deserve to do well.  (clapping)  (clapping)  (clapping) And it's uncanny how many comparatively inexpensive champions ones come from that place.  We had one. The reserve shorthorn plus at Denver a couple years ago cost $2500, from there. And I...

    Galant Semen

    Sam 951! I haves some pictures of him and what a gorgeous bull that was! I believe that Litton was also a congressman and was killed in a plane crash. They had the most beautiful facilities back then. White barns with green roofs and white fences. As to what the cattle herd would look like if...

    Looking for Fall 2014 Club Calf Sale in the MidWest

    The combination of beef prices, poor job stability, and the fact that the devaluation of the dollar and high transportation prices have forced cost up on everything from groceries to show supplies, is going to put a damper on lots of kids ability to participate in the beef project.

    Galant Semen

    When I was a kid my dad had just commercial cows. Sometimes he'd buy bottle calves at the local dairies and there were always one or two Holsteins around to put two or three calves each on. Somehow I had an ABS sire catalog and back then our ABS rep carried semen around and bred your cows AI. I...

    Galant Semen

    I will go back through my old magazines and find a picture.ASA number was 10.  I believe Grant COULD be mistaken about his color although it could just be the picture is washed out. We had LOTS of Galant females and they were as he said, more moderate more belly and good milking. Unlike the...
