    Cattle shot, killed with bow and arrow: Oklahoma

    I got pissed off just watching the video. I can't begin to describe how mad I would be if that happened to my cattle. I hope they catch whoever did this and make them pay for it.

    My Cow eats dirt.

    Definitely a mineral deficiency. My calves didn't like blocks very well either, but they reacted quite well to loose mineral in a covered feeder.

    Your welcome! I can't help much with the behind the scenes stuff because I've never put on my own sale.

    It does. I'm not talking about giving up a ton of muscle, but if their really close the sounder one will always win.

    Starting a Pasture Sale Ideas?

    For starters I would say try and have all the calves in the same location that way buyers aren't driving to two or three pastures to look at calves. The next thing to consider is how easy is it going to be for buyers to look at the calves? That could mean building a trap out of electrical fence...

    Structure cannot be stressed enough. It doesn't matter how deep or thick the calf is if it can't walk. A LOT of judges will give up a little bit of muscle for a sound made calf. On a different note, don't buy the first calf you see. Look around because the calf will probably still be there in...

    heifer popping pasterns

    Feeding something like Natural Stride or Sound Advantage will help some. There's not much you can do to fix it though because it is a structural problem.

    Preparing for final drive

    I assume your referring to a fit show? Do you have enough time to completely break down and get the calf dry and re-fit? If not I would recommend spraying a little hocus pocus in their legs, belly, and tail. Let them lay down and rest, give them hay, and hold water until right before you go back...

    Fluffing leg hair

    I wouldn't do that. I've never tried it so I'm not sure, but I bet it would fall after a short time. The longer it sits, the more it works at breaking down.

    Monopoly Hiefer

    Her breeding is just one of the things you should look at when trying to figure out who to breed her to. Monopoly calves have their common traits, but no two calves are the same. Does she need more or less frame, muscle, depth, etc... What could she improve on the most? Like the above poster...

    S&P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating From AAA

    Dow Jones was down 1100+ points when Obama gave his speech today, and managed to comeback and close at a little over 600 under. That's not that bad, and it can be overcome. 98% of stocks traded on the NYSE closed in the negative today. It's more of a knee-jerk reaction if you ask me. We're still...

    Start at the nose and work your way back. Does he have enough extension through his front end, his he clean enough, do his shoulders set right or his he too straight, does he toe out, is he wide between his front legs, does he have a strong level top or does he break in it, does he have adequate...
