what is she out of?

we recently had the same issue. just give him time, usually the calf comes around. If you dont mind me asking, which state fair are you going to?

Need a ride from northern indiana and western ohio to virginia or somewhere near VA (west va, pennslyvania, or maryland would work). thanks!

paylean is a huge controversy where we live. Many people are ignorant about the product, however, we do not use it on breeding swine. It is similar to ralgro in cattle in my opinion.

I know this doesnt exactly pertain to cattle, and im sorry. But i have a lamb that will be going to the fair in a month and recently he has swelled up around his brisket area. There is no cut so we are not sure what it is from. It has been a week and so far the swelled area went from soft to...

Try Corid with amprolium. Works amazing. just a few drops in their water for 5-7 days and they will be eating better.

My friend had a whizard steer out of a clubby cow last year. He won a pretty competitive fair handily. He finished out extremely smooth and sound. hope this helps

I don't think she is embarrassing at all. You have to commend yourself for trying and you look like you did a much better job than many first-timers around my area. Regarding the bull, however, I probably look into a bull with better calving ease for a first-calf heifer. The Answer would be the...

i live very close to you and i also went to the commonwealth classic so i know many of the products that are available around here. We usually use cottonseed pellets from southern states. They keep the gut working and they expand the stomach while keeping the calves full. Beet pulp would work...

Do you use a flathead or a blocking blade with a guard? thanks.

Luckily I show in one of the largest and richest county fairs in my state. However, we work extremely hard to fund raise throughout the year. All of our fundraising goes directly into premiums and exhibitor gifts. Not only the champion gets a present, but everyone does. The champion gets an even...

You've posted this same idea on 3 times...

I same issue. One thing that we use is cottonseed pellets. Unlike the hulls, the pellets expand in the stomach similar to beet pulp. In my opinion they are way more cost effective. A little bit of straight alfalfa hay wont hurt either. We mix some into the feed for heifers and then give grass...

my friend had a killer whizard x THC cow steer. Not sure what the cow was, but she was clubby. He was a sweet baldy- hairy, super square, and perfectly sound. Won his county fair by a long shot.

my show heifer this year is an exar tryon x networth female. she doesnt have the most grow but she is about the most maternally appearing heifer i have ever seen. I will try to get a pic. Tryon is the full brother to Lutton so he has the genetics behind him. In my opinion he won't add any power...
