    County Show = Popularity Contest

    I have read most of the posts on this today, and I must say that you are learning the hard way how it feels to be a NOBODY, and lets face it you are exactly that.  Not a local, not a big farmer who can leverage bids by throwing his business around, not a long time local who everybody knows and...

    Show Heifer Ration

    Something everyone might want to think about with the cotton seed hulls, there is a concern about cotton seed hulls being a method in which to spread Palmer Amaranth weed seeds from the south to the north, and based on the stories I have heard about Palmer that is definitely a weed that we don't...

    Shootings!!! N/C

    Yes it is a slippery slope however maybe we a reasonable society need to look past what our own gut reaction is and look at what might make society in general safer,  I HONESSTLY BELIEVE THAT 30 ROUND CLIPS DON'T MAKE US SAFER

    Jones Show Cattle (Ohio) Sale and Past Results

    Breds usually go in the 4-5000 range for relative average females, your best option might be to have your truck breakdown on the way and miss the sale, I have a friend who purchased breds in the last 2 sales and had problems with both times, and unfortunately he isn't the only one to have...

    Is this what an "Honorable" breeder does?

    I would agree with the small claims court action, but furthemore I know we all want to "play nice " hear on steerplanet but it is absolutely about time that unethical sellers have their names  named similar to how stores pin up bad checks for all to see.  The bright light of day is a great...

    Kid to kid parent to parent

    Jill, not to stir the pot too hard, but I get the feeling that your words come from someone whose children have done well, won ribbons and may have that hard to identify advantage of being on the right side of show ring politics.  Maybe not, if so I appologize, however let me speak from the...
