My husband says the same thing.  He will STILL whip out the sheepheads when he is body clipping.  I would love to see a clipping contest with only sheepheads.  The youngsters would fall first and fast.

We've had cattle adjusted before.  What would be unethical about correcting a malalignment of the spine and relieving pain?  It is amazing the difference in the calves when it is done, you can see the relief in their eyes. People have horses done all the time, the trick is finding one that...

We didn't.  The only thing we did do was add some beet pulp to one of the heifers because she was a VERY easy keeper and was getting too fat on it.  I wish we had some ear corn right now!  If you are going to feed it to steers you will have to add supplemental fat when the they reach the...

Gee Zach, you are a big boy, do your own laundry so your "retarded" mother doesn't ruin anymore clothes for you.  Just another retarded mother venting

Grind 1600 pounds of ear corn with 400 pounds of Purina Gran-4-T-fyer.  It works awesome.  Saves a ton of money also.

Bass, bluegill and crappi in the local ponds, love it!

We unfortunately have had a little bit too much experience with this!  Good milk replacer is a must.  We have used the Dumor brand that is sold at Tractor Supply, yes it is expensive but well worth it, calves fed right with this stuff don't look like bottle calves at all.  When they are about 3...

I have also seen quite a few of good quality go for $1200-$1500.  The opens usually average 3000-4000.  You should be able to find some deals, especially this year

There was one posted on here a few months ago that was an excel program that works great.  Try to search for it, if I find it I will post the link

Grand steer-Austin Miles 5th- John Martin Both from Clark County, they did us proud!

Oops, I said steer but I haven't cut him yet, was toying with leaving him a bull and he still is, not bully looking yet!  The G13 heifer is doing an awesome job with her calf, couldn't be happier with her.  We have her bred to carneyman for a february calf, have our fingers crossed for a...

I have a March Northern Improvement steer out of a first calf heifer that is sired by G13 steel and her dam was the ROV show heifer of the year.  Won darn near everything she went to.  We are going to wean Wednesday and I will start cleaning them up and get some pictures. 

How do they finish?  We used him for the first time this year and got a bull calf that we have already cut.  He is more stylish then any of our other calves and has loads of hair, I am just hesitant to sell him as a show steer without knowing if he is going to take a ton of pushing or will take...

We will this year, my husband and a friend of ours goes every year, we are pretty good friends with the Dwyers and some of the other consignors.  Always a fun time.

Not ALL animals will remember, but I guarantee the worse the experience, the more they are likely to remember.  They aren't near as stupid as you think.

I grew up showing registered quarter horses.  We would go nearly every weekend from Memorial day weekend to November at the North American.  Showing horses absolutely made me a better showman with the cattle.  Still sew show clothing for people, gotta love that lambskin and crystals!

Update from our fair last week, Caitlin was champion in sewing for the third year running!!  She was actually big enough to reach the foot pedal this year and would kick me out of the room once she made sure were she was supposed to sew, already looking forward to next years project.  She also...

YES!!  I was trying to remember the name of that stuff.  If you weren't addicted to nicotine before you used it you certainly were afterwards!

I was told by a doctor that the adhesives and paint we use are so toxic that there is no way we should use them inside at all.  Think, sniffing glue is all about ventilation!

A neighbor of ours had a potbellied pig show up also.  Gotta love those darn city slickers that think they are a pet until they reach 200 pounds and then dump them in the country like a stray dog or cat
