    Advice on buying a good heifer

    Get something that is sound and is gentle. Cannot stress these two factors enough.  Also, I would wait till late fall till to buy.  Buying young heifers is the biggest risk in the show cattle business, IMO.

    A bull that can cross the boundaries between clubbie and cowboy cattle

    my thoughts: CAB only counts if you sell on a grid, more cattle are probably sold live than grid.  I don't think it matters as much what color your cattle are, as much as they "look" uniform, you go around these yards, plenty of non-black cattle (yellows, smokes, reds, etc) but no roans...

    4-H'er saves money to buy house

    What the article doesnt say is how much the bank of mom and dad financed the whole deal.  How many of us have broke even showing livestock?

    A bull that can cross the boundaries between clubbie and cowboy cattle

    Id say find a feedlot to sell direct to if you can, you go around these yards and you see all kinds of colors, but black does dominate

    just because you handle a steer, that doesnt mean you have any clue how much cover he's got

    Which is better

    generall you will see decreasing conception rate going from natural heats to synching, although some will see no difference. some of the timed ai deals can really knock down preg rate, but you need to consider what is good enough, 80%? 50%?
