kanshow - thank you.  I guess that is what I was curious about more than anything.  How they grow out.  You always see the good/great ones made visible, but sometimes you wonder how long it took to get there, or did they hit the ground running.  Appreciate the input! 

Simmental Version.  Ours have been pretty small.  60ish.  That is out of heifers and cows coming off the best summer we have had in recent memory.  The heifers were former show animals as well.  Lack of nutrition, I am pretty sure, didnt play into the BW.  Hate to sound like I am complaining, as...

I know there are plenty on the ground for reference, but I was curious what people were seeing for BW's on the Upgrade calves?  Have had a few now and they seem on the small side at birth.  Not a problem calving, I know, but I dont mind 80+ lb calves as I like their growth and hardiness for this...

I have kicked around the idea of mounting chutes on the outside of the trlr.  Not sure that it would work the best with an eight foot trlr.  Afraid that it would leave a pretty big hangover (more than 8'6).  Also thought about an exterior rear mounted chute.  nothing drawn up though.  SD - top...

Congrats on the summer show season!  Kids did well and worked hard!  looking forward to seeing them grow and continue to have fun in the years to come! 

Curious if there are any modifications that people have made to their aluminum trailers that have helped when showing cattle?  After a search I did find a bracket for hanging stall dividers on the outside of the trailer that looked like it would work.  Current trlr has lights, not LED, in the...

Congrats on a nice harvest!  Great Job and I am sure was well worth the time and effort invested! 

jason, What is the group name on ESPN?  trying to find it.  thank you well, found it......now what is the password?  LOL  tried some of the more obvious but to no avail! 

same thing happened to me

thank you for sharing  really neat moment! 

It was Mr. Harvey's address at the 1978 National FFA Convention in KC.  Have talked about it in every class.  In today's "instant news" world, this could have one of the greatest positive impacts on agriculture that I can think of in recent memory.  Some may find that sad, and in a sense I...

I am curious, what is the pay scale expected to be?  Does IA pay in a 12/9's scale for Ag Instructors or do they offer 9 month contracts? 

Useful items.  functional buckets with a custom sticker are nice.  Smaller buckets for smaller livestock, larger ones for the cattle.  Combs, halters, etc.  We are trying to incorporate chairs into our fair by sponsoring them.  Gives something for the kids to be proud of at ANY event they go to...

We have tried various things.  For us the koolaid seemed to throw them off more at a show than the chlorine.  We have floated a chlorine tab holder (for the pool) in the show cattle tank with just one tablet in it.  Water wasnt overwhelming in smell but just enough.  Seemed to help when we were...

Gargan - yes he was grand and combustible reserve

I have used a set of the Laube clippers and did like them.  Light, fast, small frame, but do have a tendency to get warm with use.  Haven't used the 5 speeds much but have seen them out around the circuit quite a bit.  Going to be investing in a new set, but thought I would test the water a...

Wondering if anyone has ran Laube Litening Clippers, as well as the Andis 5 speeds.  Looking for a valid comparison/opinion.  Thank you

absolutely.....AAOK.  Couldn't agree more

There was a group that held a benefit for my dad a few years back.  Definitely helped.  Good luck with the benefit and even more so for your Mom!
