    Controlling Algae in a Stock Tank

    We do the gold fish thing and have for YEARS. It works great and believe it or not if the tank freezes the fish will freeze with it and then thaw out and be as good as new.

    Anyone Show Horses?

    I did some showing when I was in middle school. Trained with an Olympic rider for 3 years but then got into cattle after a car accident ended my competitive riding. The first is of me and my Thoroughbred, Helaban, at my house. The second is of me and my Appy, Shilo, with my cousin. The last one...

    Blow & Go Show

    We go to a show every year that doesn't allow aerosols. So really the only thing you can use is kleen sheen and other products of the such. It makes for a short day and no long clean ups as usual.

    Anyone know where to get BANNERS made?

    Are they the ones that make the branded hide, things. For lake of better words. If they are they are AMAZING and anything else they make would be awsome as well. Another place depending on what you want could be Lindes Livestock photo's. They have these banners that you can custom make with...

    2009 shorthorn national jr show

    The dates for Michigan are June 21-26. As everyone has said your state has to put a bid in for it. 2011 is still open, if the rumors were true Lousiana and Indiana were interested. I was talking to some people that ran it this year and they said that it cost around $140,000 to put it on this...

    Looking for Upright Dolly Showbox

    I have to agree we bought a diamond plate one from them and it is amazing. It was $250.00 cheaper than a Sullivan's, it only has on big drawer but it is one a tract and is EASY to pull out unlike the Sullivan's. Friends are really jealous, they bought theirs 6 months before and its just smooth...

    Best steak

    I agree with the limmy as much as it kills me to. We to had a limmy bull that we were trying to crossbreed for feedlot steers, he wasn't getting the job done so we ate him. He was amazing. We got so much meat out of him. Second would be a Shorty steer that I had for the PA Farm Show. His legs...

    posts in cooler??

    Another thing that you could put in there that would be like the single stalls would be tie stalls out of a dairy barn. I know it might take some time to find them but they work amazing. They don't restrict air movement from the fans and they are pretty strong.

    Yogurt in feed?

    Back when we had a dairy farm we used to give it to the sick newborns, it worked they didn't die. But I have no clue what it did besides straighten their stomachs out.

    Just a matter of days before the fair.

    I live in Pennsylvania, we have a huge farm show complex so all of our animals are indoors. But there normally snow on the ground to running from the showers inside to the camper is quite a trip. One year we went to the tie outs to get our steers in and they had an inch of ice on there backs...

    showmanship

    Be serious when showing, but not stiff. If the judge talks to you or when he touches your calf smile a little, just a little smile goes a long way. And I agree with herfordfootball, if he gives you champion smile and shake his/her hand firmly.

    Steer wont drink

    If you don't already have a filter you could get one. We use one that goes on a cloths washer and it works great. (the city water I guess???) Another thing that works is when you put hay in front of them for the night you could put salt on it. By morning all of our cattle drink a bucket or more.
