I haven't posted in quite some time and try to stay out of these opinion based conversations, however I HATE when people make carpet statements off of cattle pictures.  You state that the heifer turns out in the top pic and is square in the bottom pic?  You can't see her feet or her dew claws in...

https://www.etsy.com/shop/PepperPonyDesigns Not much on here cattle wise, but she does our websites www.nmclubcalf.com and lots of banners and displays for shows that we do.  Shes doing a new website launch right now so might be a little delay but she does a pretty good job. Joshua

I just read the article and am thankful I get to call this family, friends.  What an inspiration Ryan is to other young people as well as to some of us with young ones, who are praying our young men follow in his footsteps. Joshua

The warning is more directed at small animals than beef cattle.  Lambs, goats, and hogs can be wrecked by indesriminate use of fitter 35. People tend to use the if little is good more is better approach and quickly mess one up.  On cattle the fitter 35 in my opinion takes roughly 45 days to show...

Champion Drive is used to add protein to a ration in order to add shape and tone.  It will tighten one up shape wise but won't necessarily burn off fat.  Fitter 35 is designed to literally burn off fat in the reverse order fat is applied. So as we know brisket and pones are signs of finish...

There are both medicated and unmedicated version of precon available. The item number for unmedicated is 4689. Joshua

This bull is the real deal. Super excited to see how this one turns out! 

FWIW, I own Hidden Treasure, so my view is biased.  We feel he works best on cows who need softening.  He is really good in his pasterns, but can get tight in his hock if used on cows without enough flex.  Also to raise big time steers the cow will need to bring some of the power as he is a PB...

Dont forget they used to paint the pictures to make them appear how they wanted.  Long before they had photoshop people were screwing with the images the public got to see. Joshua

This calf tested DSH. We tested him as we had considered leaving him a bull.  My bull Hidden Treasure also tested DSH and I challenge anyone to find a sounder more ideally designed mature bull structurally than him.  The DS thing to us will need to be managed but not the end of the world that...

I was told he will not be there he is at stud and will be staying there. I could be wrong but that's the info I was given. Joshua

I guess I look at this very differently. I feel its the responsibility of each breeder to develop their own market and the associations job to create brand awareness and handle the registry. It's not their job to create a market or determine a direction for my cow herd. If a shorthorn breeder...

We work with Purina and feed ALOT of full range. If you just read the tag on full range it will read more like a grower than a finisher, but you have to understand Full Range was developed differently.  The feed tag only tells half the story. Full Range has quite a few more calories in it than a...

Is this the Reg number for the sire of your bull calf?  4199715  Your bull calf looks really good.  Im anxious to see him. Joshua

It has been said previously but you don't need all those supplements right now.  In fact the way you are feeding them could actually hurt her in her development.  All 3 of the Power Fuel, Champion Drive and Fitter 35 target different areas of the body and actually work against what your trying...
