    Looking for the best of the best.

    Title says it all. I'm looking for a clubby breeding heifer(chi, maintainer, simangus, etc...). She MUST be able to get papers of some kind because we don't show mkt heifers down here. I would prefer a spring born, but would be interested in anything still young enough to show this fall season...

    How to make a steer look full

    A calf won't drink too much sprite on it's own to harm itself, but if you over pump one that's a different story.

    best place to buy high dollar claves

    Prime example is the steer that won the American Royal this year. It was shown by Goretska and it traded hands a few times before it got to him, but it was first purchased in a sale in Kansas from a small unheard of breeder for $2,200.

    Opinion on truck

    It should do it, but I personally HATE to pull anything with a gas truck. Diesel is the only way to go IMO

    How do your "pop" hair? (Read DETAILS)

    You can get it at walmart, walgreens, cvs, etc... It's not a shaving cream it's a pre-shave, it's in a green bottle, and it'll be on the same aisle as the shaving cream.

    How do your "pop" hair? (Read DETAILS)

    I second the lectric shave/zoom bloom mix. I know you want to pop his hair and then clip him, but it's gonna work a lot better the other way around. After you get him blown out take your blower and blow a little bit of pink into him. After that, comb all of his hair forward. NOT UP. It will...

    Input on breeding this donor

    I'm more of a purebred guy so I don't know a ton about clubby breeding, but I'm going to agree with chappy on Eye Candy. I clipped a group of Eye Candy x PB Angus calves a while back. They seemed to follow their dam on their front end, but they all had plenty of guts and thickness. I loved the...

    Transporting Cattle Long Distance

    I prefer/recommend going non stop. The less their on a trailer the better they'll do, and with it being as hot as it is I wouldn't want to leave them on a trailer over night. I would bust up a bale of hay for them, and put a few buckets of water in when you stop for fuel and then pull them back...

    Glueing Tops

    I love Prime Time. If the calf has good enough leg hair I prefer to use it and then hit it once with some Tail Adhesive after I've clipped it just to hold it all together. Clipping through Prime Time is much easier than clipping through Tail Adhesive because it doesn't gum up your blades as bad.

    best place to buy high dollar claves

    In Texas you've got Steve Bonham, Tony Austin, Dave Allen, Bill Cody, Dan Sullivan, and Mark Copus. Their certainly not the only people that raise good show cattle in Texas, but that's where I'd start.

    Best, Safest Way To Terminate Pregnancy?

    Haha I'm not that bad of a neighbor I promise lol. I probably would've got pissed off and fixed the fence myself, but I'm surrounded by trees so I don't have to worry about neighbors too much

    Looking for opinions on quality ofSimAngus steer.

    I'm not talking in terms of cleanliness. He is clean fronted for a simangus, but he is heavy fronted and it makes him look like he doesn't have much of a neck.

    Best, Safest Way To Terminate Pregnancy?

    Possession is 9/10 of the law  ;D I personally would have taken him to the sale barn the 3rd time. If you don't want to do that though I would just load him up and drive 20 or 30 miles and kick him out. When your neighbor comes asking just tell him you haven't seen him.

    How long until "herd" accepts new steer?

    Give em a few days and they'll warm up to him. I wouldn't worry much about it.
