Depends on the judge and the show, the county fair I grew up with started as a pretty laid back bucket calf type show but has evolved to a full fledged prospect show.  One faimily has done quite well. Over the years bring flush mates, they usually get champion or rescue in at least two of the...

I would have least properly identified him to the authorities with permanent marker on his forehead........

I would check the platte city area,,,  Just north of the airport, otherwise Wyandotte county Kansas outside of the 435 loop.....  Kansas City Kansas can have some rouh areas.  As can Jackson county Missouri east of frost and west of the east side of the 435 loop, think southeast quadrant of...

She junk, tell them they need to put her on my trailer and I will haul her to slaughter for them.    (lol) I thought I had posted this earlier, but I would not blame them if they flushed her to heat seeker every time......  Certainly using the same line of genetics has a chance to make...

you keep the radar pulled up on your work computer trying to decide if you should mow hay when you get home.....

I was once told that my heifer was too deep in the flank.......  Was a very growths heifer that I did not expect to win the class with for a variety of reasons, being too deep was not one of them My last year showing FFA, I had raised a purebred limi steer.    He was going to be a light...

Wish there was a like button!    Could be as simple as little 3 inch square with a elastic band over the neck of the wine bottle......  Used to work at a wine shop, distibuters are looking for ways to set there product apart from the others.  Might be able to work with the local sales reps...

Shelby don't get too discouraged, you are in the learning stage if this is your second year, keep working hard and keep learning, there will be ideas here that will help some, but remember that great show heifers don't always, or even often, make great cows.  IMO it has something to do with how...

I will just add this.....  I just caught and AIed a former show heifer that we bought bred.  When we got her she was VERY cagey.  Not wild, just cagey.  We have had her for four months, in that time we have flushed her, so that was a dozen or so unpleasant times through a chute, but every...

I would like clarification then.....    But.  Even so, if the industry standard is one thing and a vet or tech wants to do something different.....

Bought one this spring, very satisfied

How much track record of success does the vet have with implanting on day 1?    Seems if the whole industry does it on day 7, and someone wants to do it on day 1, I would be saying not with my embryos until I see it work......

This is how our seed stock supplier does it.....  Though he states the reserve up front.  He retains anything that does not get a base bid at the reserve.  But, if you get outbid on a high priced bull or heifer, you can then bid on a lower priced one that has not had the live auction part.   ...

Two things, I completely understand a seller wanting a calf in the "right hands".  I am contemplating a first breeding for my soon to be three year old "competitive" pointing lab female.    I will make significant effort, including cash incentives to get puppies in homes that will train and...
