    Flushing Heifers

    There are a number of theories on virgin heifers and I'm no expert, but here are some of my thoughts: On the up side, flushing a heifer is the most productive time in the life of a cow so if you decide to go that route you should have a productive chance at having a good flush. We have not ever...

    Bracing too hard???

    I'm a little late here, but what the heck.  We have this same problem in Kansas, we are not allowed to brace or touch the goat other than to set the feet yet when you get to a major show they are all full brace shows just like sheep.  The look of a goat drastically changes some for the good some...

    How soon is too soon to wean

    Agree with Till-Hill, as long as you have them up where you can watch them you will be fine, may need a little tlc but as long as your calf is eating you are ok to wean.

    Beautiful 2 Year old from American Shorthorn Junior Show!

    We fell into that catagory this year at Maine Jr. Nationals, because we had a May that had a calf at side (which she should have had) she showed in her May class with her calf.

    The group listed above plus Todd Caldwell, Bobby May, Kirk Stierwalt-  Pretty much anyone can find you a good one for high dollar, the trick is, who can find you the best place to find calves that will win on a budget!

    Question......

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I know in ours (Logan does smile in most of them) we pick out the best picture of the animal, you will normally have 3 to 5 pics to select from and your looking at ears and tilt of the head and small things that will make a difference in how the promotional...

    The judge was paid to speak, obviously someone valued his opinion, when was the last time someone paid for yours, that would make you a cattle expert like OH.

    Help!! Newbies here!

    Is the national Hereford show live?  It wouldn't be quite the same but it would at least give you the idea of what you need to do.

    Everclear

    I apologize GONEWEST for my comment, I didn't realize deadening a tail was animal abuse, just stating a fact, that is the only thing I have ever seen it used for.  I guess I have never seen anyone that gave one everclear to change behaviour, Ace and Thorazine work just fine why would you use...

    New Purchase...

    I guess I wasn't specifically saying look in Texas, a flood of the market will drop prices everywhere.  If you are wanting to look in TX I would get ahold of JoeBoy or Chambero folks like that that have been around a long time down there and are honest and will know what you're looking for.
