    What do you think? UPDATED!

    I like her (thumbsup) She's the type that will keep you in business! I really appreciate her soft, cowy look. Looks like she's grown into her throat some, and if you play your cards right she could sure produce some really nice calves

    Facility ??s: MO State Fairgrounds; Sedalia Missouri

    Thanks so much everyone!! Very Informative. Bedding in sand will definately be a new experience for our girls, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. Firesweep, please let me know what you find out, as we would prefer to tie to the trailer, but wish to be prepared if not. And you...

    Facility ??s: MO State Fairgrounds; Sedalia Missouri

    We are gearing up for nationals next week, and I had a few questions about the facility in Sedalia. 1) Are tie outs tie to the trailer, or is there a fenced area to tie to? 2) How is the electricity? Thanks so much!! <cowboy> Sarah

    growing hair

    If you are in the heat, I would say the most influential factor determining if a calf will have hair in the summer is genetics. We are in SW Alabama, around 100 degrees last few days, and  here is what we do. We have them under a big chicken house fan with misters. We block the sun and try to...

    Top Clip Job

    Haha. I had two novice clippers over a few weeks ago to practice on a heifer I needed to slick. We did the normal clip job, but then I drew them lines down her sides and let them practice blending them out. Unfortunately, I had only one pair of blending heads, so someone had to use the blocking...

    cost?

    I would say the biggest difference you are going to see is that with your steer, the payday came about a year after purchase. With the hiefer, it will be at least two years before she calves and then another 4-6 months before she starts paying her way. In the end, she will likely be more...

    Heifer is just plain mean...

    Put feed in her bucket, sit by the bucket. Maybe sit six feet away on the first day, and slowly get closer as days go by. Stay there the entire time she eats. If she comes and eats, good, if not she goes hungry. Next feeding do the same. Eventually she WILL come to eat. Slowly get closer and...

    Some of our babies (more photos!)

    Hehe, I think we saw her at regionals in 2008, and know we saw her the last two years as a pair. I remember being really impressed with her last year as a mature cow. I'm just waiting for yall to show up with her and a Mo Better baldy heifer calf at side. (lol)

    Feedback on these Texas steer Judges

    Agree completely with the opinions of Callis. We've shown under him a few times and have always walked away feeling like he placed the show logically and consistently.      Integrity/Character A+!!

    Older Simmental Genetics , breeding question ?

    I have to agree with Joker and want to add Lucky Break and MT to your list. Also like Momentum for his positives, but he might give you too much front and moderate too much. Those would be where I would go for the oldies but goodies theme. But Im only 19, so my idea of old might be a little...

    Which Is Best Simmi Bull?

    I'm going to pipe in on Grandmaster. I like the bull. In my opinion he works really well on complete, solid bodied females with a  good shoulder and neck. He will definately add the butt, top, hair, and bone. I also think he puts a really soft cowy look on his calves. I love a good sound rear...

    Daylight savings Time

    Makes me remember two years ago when we were at a show, daylight savings time kicked in on show-day,  and  we forgot to set the clocks up. Oh the value of a mere sixty minutes  ;D ;D

    I think he stuck the mamma with both bulls and is wondering what we think the calf is out of just for fun and curiosity until he sends the dna off.

    Question???

    A neck sweat "sweats" off excess leather. It will not work miracles, but it can make a substantial difference on one with just  a tick more neck than preffered. To work, it has to go on every day for most of the day. We have our best results when they also wear at the show right up until the...

    Beet Pulp

    It is a filler and it wil stretch their gut out. We feed it dry to everything in the showbarn out of convienence(we've tried wet, but just prefer it dry). It helps with adding belly on one and solidifies manure. The heifers get more of it then the steers used to b/c I want them full without...
