Video of Champion Drive on The Pulse, about page 10 this morning.  Yes, he was very good.  Floyd in West Texas is listed as breeder.  As stated above, this year's steer show was to put it mildly, very interesting and lots of opinions floating around.  You had to be there to believe what was...

okay, those last two posts kinda made my day.  You two have a good rest of the week.

^^^ agree one hundred percent.  from a show steer perspective only, I think to raise competitive steers you have to have cows with some muscle, bone, ability to travel, and overall complete package.  I think this heifer, with the right bull, has a chance to raise some competitive steers.  I...

not to hijack this post, but, Pine Drive Big Sky - my what a flashback.  Must have been close to 25 years ago (time flies doesn't it) I was going through calves on a ranch at Hamilton, Texas, that was owned by Diamond Shamrock - hence, unlimited capital.  We were riding around looking at calves...

I think you have a good looking cow, specially like her depth of rib and squareness.  After reading your post about her raising a good PB calf and that steer placing well, if she were mine I'd sure consider AI or if you are able to spend the $$, flushing her to one of Stan Born's bulls and...

And that, Bro. or Sister Hevmando, is probably the most RELEVANT RESPONSE to the op on this long, hopefully retiring soon, thread.  Thanks for the Bible lesson, good way to start my day.

Jive Turkey - I wanted to respectfully share with you that my two kids established a business relationship with my bank from the very first year they started showing steers and heifers.  They each started at age nine and continued until they graduated.  One spent four years in college and is now...

Okay, Ryan, I wanna know, who is that and what's his breeding?  Has he sired some Texas Shorthorn steers - and all of us down here in Texas know what kind of beast it takes to get a brand at Fort Worth - he looks like he could get the job done.  Thanks for info. And Rack:  you know a lot more...

probably someone with more experience than me has tried this.  I've always thought someone should try a really good Shorthorn bull that's sired some good steers on a red or red and whilte American cow.  Saw one two years ago at Fort Worth.  Roan American, breed characteristics were great, hair...

nice heifer. first thing that popped in my head was "Who's Smoking"

I'm going to assume the young man (pardon me if you're a young lady) that wrote the advice above, is about the same age as my son.  He showed in the '90s and was six foot tall.  He was very good on the stick, as I'm sure you are.  If he would have had this advice when he was showing it would...

I will preface my remarks by saying my kids are grown, don't have any kinfolks showing steers, only families that are friends.  I sat in the stands and watched the first class through the last class then judging of the grand champion.  To the Martins and the Newmans, congratulations, your steers...

Agree wholeheartedly.  If someone had one or ten Keystones today I'd be on the road heading their way.  Remember seeing lots of Venable Keystone steers in Texas and they were sure nuff powerhouses and did lots of winning.  Could always count on Carl Fox having a great Keystone shorthorn and a...

When we were showing we had gooseneck to haul steers.  Kids are grown now and I sold goose and bought WW 5x14 to pick up a few steers from Oklahoma each year and bring back to Texas.  Had it probably five years.  Also pulled our FFA 6' wide bumper pull a time or two.  Driving back from OK  with...

Several years ago when my kids were showing I looked through Kennedy Bros calves for shorthorn steers here in Texas.  Remember going through calves 2 or 3 years. Dr Pepper steers I recall being big boned, thick, with cocky show steer look.  They had some grow in them and fed well.  Not puds.  I...
