Congrats!!!

Only 110 here in Decatur, TX, with 25% humidity...

I would think the judge would only notice it while trying to take a pic after the show...much more relaxed and you tend to have time to notice... <beer>

I have a great amount of empathy for your daughter. If you do this more than one year, there will be some really hard luck. I don't know the rules in PA, but bringing in a calf this late...as much as I hate to say it, it will probably more trouble than it is worth if he does well. I don't know...

Congrats, great read.  <party>

Couldn't have said it better myself. Our mineral consumption always goes through the roof during the "normal"  (pop) summer down here and is worse the earlier and more severe the drought is... How is Mo doing? We have been super busy, which is good, but not always fun.... ;)

Ok, this thread is officially hijacked. "Meat Free Mondays"? Really? Duncraggan, I must put you on the spot and ask what state/province (I understand if you don't name city and/or school) this is in? Is it a public or private school? If is a public school, does the Monday menu meet federal...

Borrow a microscope or get a vet clinic to look at thawed straw. No semen and or poor motility, get on the phone and let Mike make it right. I got an entire cane from another company several years ago of nothing. Missed two, got the scope, called company and they made it right. Frustrating, but...

Droughts and high packer prices take care of the ton cows....

Almost all of these posts have excellent points. Chambero's post is on target. So many older people are collecting an oil/gas check and not raising nor letting another family member raise cattle in my area. I am currently in the oilfield services industry in my home county after being away for...

I hate to talk about drought in past tense...in Texas, if it is raining, the day it stops starts the next drought. We have plenty of grass right now, but hay meadows are cooking and most people cut what they had this week thinking they need to get what they can before it totally burns up. Early...

Just to play along...Amerifax or Irish Blacks.... (thumbsup)

Power Plant Witchdoctor Who Made Who Doctor Who???? none of these make the poll? or is that for another one??? ;D

Call around, somebody should be willing to help a college kid..., I would hope!
