Heatwave and his clones will go down in history as one the best for siring show steers.Leachmans theory to have all cattle look the same and be able to still have the advantage of crossing different breeds was pretty successfull until they had major financial problems.We used to think F-1s were...

I dont go to many sales but the cattle were presented very well and sale was excellent and hospitality was second to none.I live close by and the amount of work put into a sale of this calibur is amazing.Pete along with Jess make a strong team along with the other good help they have put...

Unclipped calves and calves that havent been on creep [IF] you can pick them out turn out the same and usually better than overclipped ,hot fed young calves.I know of more than a few instances where a younger or greener calf was bought at a sale barn that brought 10 times its first cost after...

This is a definately a feel good story and although it has happened before it usually doesnt end up that way.Darwin was a well respected and it is nice he was able to help his nephew on a day he will always remember.The money he will earn can go quite a ways toward a career .Congratulations on a...

Great story.I have judged many shows and always feel good afterwards when people tell me that the people that won deserve it as they are a good family that works hard.Unfortunately a few people forgot the real reason families show cattle and that in my opinion is to teach responsibility and...

Sorry DL no prize for you.Mr.Holley is a good judge and by being made an example of the clembuterol thing is dead.I know Mr Holley knows cattle as he has proven he can raise and show them which is one thing that not all judges can do.Who it is isnt that important .Just because a person has a...

I think we are getting a little carried away are maybe I am naive.But there are many families that do most of their own work and still do well and sometimes win.I can give you many examples and most people have enough integrity to play by the rules.I dont care what activity you are involved in...

A little too much imagination.I lke the way Chambero thinks and lcattle co is real close[ might even be same guy] .It is too bad that we now live in a society where a mans word and a handshake mean nothing.Some of you have been watching too much violence on the tube as this involves cattle...

I always thought that people that were asked to judge shows were at least people that are respected.I see where a convicted felon is judging a show on Mar.11th.Is this the kind of role model we need for our youth?

I was fortunate to have Dick as a mentor and friend.I sold Dick and his family their first State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben champions and he payed me back 100 times over by helping my family and I learn how to show cattle.His secret to success was he and his family out worked the competition and had...

(clapping)It seems like Blogs are the new wave to keep up on what going on.Matt and now Wade are really on top of the shows they attend and I enjoy looking at them.The good part is no negative feedback.The computer age has really hurt a lot of publications and several keep getting more compact...

I will have to admit I had to look up facetious[joking at an inappropriate time].Actually I think Advocate should change his user name to Agitator as that seems to be his mission.This board should make everybody including J.P.sign their name as there could be a lot of knowledge shared and...

I FWIW I thought the calves in DivIII were outstanding and was really impressed with the great job that was done with the show.The girls that were working the ring I think were glad it was over and deserve a lot of credit.The barn looked like a whos who of fitters and the calves probably looked...

I would like your input on breeding these cows.

The market heifer class at the ISF is very competitive.It started out at around 20 head and has grown.One of the big reasons is that they are included in the sale of champions along with champion and reserve steer and have good support.Market heifers are judged the same as steers and shouldnt...
