I second Famous Dave's! Never been to Denver (on my bucket list), but we stayed in Sandusky for a week over the summer and ate at their Famous Dave's 4 nights in a row, it's that good!

Thats a sweet looking little calf PTR, makes me want to look into using Yellow Repo on our herd as we have some SimAngs.

I think you're able to pay it online with a credit card (don't ask me how bc I did it once and couldn't remember how to navigate that website if my life depended on it).  Also I know some services are off-limits if there is an outstanding balance, such as viewing/printing pedigrees. This was my...

Awesome pics!  I'm glad you posted an update on the Optimizer heifer calf.  We have a %Sim heifer we are looking to breed back to either him or Uno Mas this spring.  Good luck this year!

I've actually noticed a lot more Herefords in the show circuits; whether PB, or often out of a commercial Hereford and a clubby bull.

I think the concept is there, but it could be more user friendly. We have a herd of about 15 we have registered, and entering births,weans and registering our heifers we are keeping back was an all day task.

I was misinformed in my information, I apologize.  I have removed that portion of my comment to prevent further "misleading".

We're breeding our boss's small herd of horns half to I-80 and half to Select Sire's Capiche. They will be on their second calves this time which is why we chose I-80, for the low birth weights. Hoping to get some flashy ones come spring! I'm not saying don't breed with the other sires, this...

I KNEW IT DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT.  You know how you type/write something and you just sit back and look at it for a minute because you know it doesn't look right? That was me with one of those posts. Brain fart I guess. 

Just curious as to why you are dyeing his spots? Dyeing is generally used for faded spots (from urine, sun fading etc.) to get a true jet black. I've never heard of someone dying white spots!  Some people would actually consider his spots to make him "flashier" in the ring. 

Nice calf, and cow too!  Optimizer is one we've been looking at, nice to see he's done well for you!

That's pretty interesting cowboy_nyk, I've never heard of that method.  We usually just use the showstick and kind of pull the tail back in place when in the ring, though it can be a bit irritating when the calf immediately lifts it back up! 

If you're in the market for females, there are a few excellent sales coming up in SE Ohio (Zanesville). Both sales will be at Muskingum Livestock in Zanesville Ohio. -Nov 27 is the Back to the Farm female replacement sale hosted by the Ohio Cattlemens Association.   Cosigners' female have...

I would focus on show practices: tying, leading, sticking etc. You can brush/comb while tied to get the calf better used to you and calm it down more, but if you don't have a blower I would not worry about it.
