The Wood County Beef Producers' Third Annual Black Swamp Preview Show is this Saturday in Bowling Green, Ohio.  Details are in the post below from July.  Check-in starts at 11:00.  Hope to see all our friends and make some new ones!

The Salute cow is on the plus side of 5 and the Metro would be a 4-4.5.  Considering the calves' birth weights and where they are now, I don't think he will add much frame to either.  They look like they are going to follow their dam's frame scores if not slightly smaller.  My calves and the...

After seeing a few really nice calves in the NW Ohio area last spring, I tried him on a purebred shorthorn Salute cow and a shorthorn plus Metro heifer.  Both calves were born unassisted with the Salute checking in at 75 lbs. and the Metro at 65 lbs.  They are both heifers and my kids showed...

I have a Monopoly heifer out of a Rowe Peerless/Angus cow for sale.  She has been shown by our son at the just concluded Wood County Fair which means we are in Bowling Green, Ohio.  PM if you are interested or want photos.

We planted a Red Maple tree close to our barn in Cathy's memory.  My kids call it the "Cathy" tree.  We also have two of Red's cows in my little herd.  Her one old cow has a red calf every year.  I think I could breed it to anything and it would still have a Red calf!

I agree with the previous posts.  We switched to Rowe when the local feed company quit custom grinding.  We have used Rowe feeds and products for three years with great success and at a reasonable cost.  We do have to travel more  to pick up the feed but Gene Rowe gets it to a local central...

(clapping) Congrats Gidget and family!

We had our first calf of the season.  It was out of Red's Dilly cow that I bought from Mark last summer.  It was a red heifer out of Hard Core.  Stopped me in my tracks when I saw it was red. Scholarship is a great idea.

Open show on April 4, 2009 at the Wood County (Ohio) Fairgrounds, Bowling Green, Ohio. For more details, go to: http://www.woodcountybeefproducers.com/

Yesterday, I saw our dear friend Cathy.  I gave her a hug, chatted about  cattle and showed her pictures of her two week old  "grand calf" out of a Cherry Bomb heifer I bought from her.  I was so happy to see her out and about doing something she loved.  I said "I will see you tommorrow before I...

On Saturday morning, the Wood County Beef Producers will be grilling 500 hamburgers for the judging contest participants!  We will be the ones yucking it up next to the big grill outside Cooper.  After that, I will be checking in with Red at the bull display and catching the Maine sale.  I will...

Started using Rowe's Enhance with our calves this past fall.  Gains have been from 3.75 to 4.5 lbs. per day.  Gains are great but the best part has been the calves have also stayed on feed.  No instances of being knocked off feed and losing valuable time/gain while you work them back onto feed.
