I know some will say it different in a 10 day old calf but usually blood in stool means cocidiosis and Cor-Rid orally will take care of it.

If the calf had colostrum and is still alive electrolytes are the key to keeping it alive.Too many cures can make things worse.Tubing if done correctly will not hurt him and some just don't have the will too live.The best way to avoid scours is vaccination of cows and there are also some...

Milkman worked for me.The daughters were saleable, calving wasn't a problem, structure not an issue, quiet, and  the end that did work not work for showring were the big end so and they weighed 651#s in Oct. and were born in late March and April. Calves that are structurally unsound,too small...

Monopoly and his clones have dominated the industry for many years and his sons are being heavily promoted.Very seldom do promotional bulls such as Mon.and H.W. last more than a decade.High selling calves result from mating to excellent cows.One thing about monopoly is birth weight and structure...

I would say yes.A well known herd was having several TH calves and had the whole herd tested and sold every carrier regardless for slaughter.A TH carrier animal can have more bone and hair but they have to mated to non carriers.PHA is worse if you have ever had one not many cows survive if the...

Probably a dumb question but can a clone be cloned? Thanks

I know of families that sell and show calves that offer everything for sale and show whats left and with their knowledge and work ethic win major shows.Many times the calf that is 12oclock in the Sept/Dec sales  looks the best it ever will.Once a calf is purchased the price is only a number then...

From watching him judge you better be neat and clean have a positive attitude and be able to interact when he talks to you.Then if you have his type of calf you will be successful.I watched him judge ISF and he knows what he is looking for and the type of person he wants to be leading it.I...

Been in cattle business for close to 50 years and the initial cost does not guarantee success.Hard work,proper feeding,excellent fitting and showmanship are what wins shows.If the kids don't help  or let the person that sells them the calf keep it at their place and do the work the win would not...

I have never had a Monopoly with a poor disposition and I am trying to think of another bull that I could say that about.The Throttle ,SugarRay,Ildeno all sired many champions but their disposition in some cases wasn't the best.

Chambero description is exactly how I would describe the BIMs I have had.Great hair ,nice sized,style to burn, and some just don't want to be in the spotlight.One of the best calves I  have ever seen went to the feedlot and when he was finished he was a knockout.

I have a 2nd calf Monopoly out of Dieter dam will calve this spring bred to Milkman[could be AId to I-80] first calve by Jessie James brought $4750.Was shown once and was champion.Also have several cows from Griswold sale  515-290-4336

You need to gain 3# per day to get to 1200#.Your steer appears to be small framed and already has a nice top and appears to have good thickness.Implants help but just good quality feed and good environment will help as smaller cattle usually don't gain as fast as longer bodied cattle with a...

Wasn't there probably just picture but was champion borderline straight in front? I am sure there were many great steers there and I was told many make the premium auction.By the photos looked like standing room only even when the breeds were showing.Might be the best steer show in America due...

Being a classifier would be a tough one.When I was an IJBBA adviser and helped with Iowa Winter Beef Expo over 20+years ago the subject of classifying was discussed and decided to let the state breed associations handle it.It is amazing after 15+ years the effect Heatwave has made in the show...

I have been following on Lautners and Sullivans[ The Pulse] websites of the pictures and winners and from the steer show and they are all similar in type and all sired by leading club calf sires and color seems to be the main factor in breed determination.They actually look too good for the...

There are many nice trailers available.We have EBYs and they have been good.

Currently I have a 2015 F-350 and a 2014 Ram 2500 and had a new Duramax in 2006 .Our Ford has the most power and gets around 10MPG pulling a 24ft gooseneck.Our Dodge is much less cluttered under the hood and gets 10MPG pulling same gooseneck.Our 06 Duramax got 10MPG gallon pulling 24ft...

Second a good donkey.Cattle are creatures of habit and will do the same thing to get away most everytime similar to bucking bulls and horses.The  rodeo announcers can tell you almost exactly what they will do.I have helped break some with problems and if you can stop them from their bad habit...

Its like when they say car racing started when second was built only in this and many cases when second animal was shown.
