    Troubadour x Foreplay Son

    Thinking of having him collected? I would buy some straws. I like him and the foreplay side is nice as foreplay makes great daughters. Like his build and color.  (clapping)

    Club Calf Bull Semen Quality

    I am not looking to bash any of these club calf bull owners as I have used bulls from all of these owners. But I have had ALOT better success with certain owners. I would like to see what others AI success rates are with these club calf bull owners. But with some of these popular bulls if they...

    Filler ?

    Best Answer. I like Depth Charge but use it on show day. I do like to feed dried beet pulp with the feed to the steers to help stretch out their gut making it easier come show time. You get caught pumping at our show, you are disqualified. A little trick that has worked for me is get them to eat...

    Steer Fitting

    If you have never clipped a steer, have someone that has with you or at least watch a clipping video such as Stierwalt's clipping video on DVD. You can mess a steer up real fast if you don't know what you are doing. It is hard to explain by typing what to look for when clipping as there is so...

    Solid gold mature pic

    Nice, I like his mature picture as much as his yearling show picture. I love his color, I think I'm going to try him on my smoke colored cow next year.

    Anyone fed barley straw before?

    My uncle has a good size farm in Missouri and uses Anhydrous Ammonia. But reading up on it myself with the reports it says it can double or even triple the protein value and digestibility of straw. Liquid Nitrogen is way too expensive for me to use that. But I did find the one big fertilizer...

    Anyone fed barley straw before?

    Thanks for your input Harley and GoWyo. From the reading I have done they say barley straw is higher in crude protein than wheat straw is. I was thinking along the line of cake and some alfalfa along with it, but don't know for sure. Hamburgman, you have my attention! Could you please explain...

    Anyone fed barley straw before?

    I have been looking around for hay and it is about a $225 a ton average around here and I seeing it going up come winter with the lack of hay being produced cause of our heat. Then I came across an add for barley hay for sale but after talking with the guy I found out that it has been combined...

    Heatwave 5 Heifer

    Depending on how far along she is if she is confirmed bred, I would not be too concerned being she is only a week from 15 months. My last heat wave heifer was bred and calved to the simmi bull Built Right at 24 months old when she gave birth without any problem, gave me a great heifer calf this...

    Walks Alone vs BIM

    I don't agree with saying that WA does not work on clubby cows. I have bred my best clubby cows which are high percentage Maine's to WA cause it works and is proven connection for my cows. Those cows are now bred to him again to calve next spring and are large framed Maine cows. From calves I...

    Opinions - Biggest problem facing the cattle industry?

    (clapping), good video. I did not not really agree or disagree that global warming is real as I have had limited information on it. I do know that we might be in a heat cycle then as our winter cycles have been very mild compared to normal which is nice in the winter but we pay for it in the...

    Opinions - Biggest problem facing the cattle industry?

    Chambero is rite as what I have been seeing is land is priced so high that you can't afford to buy it to ranch. But if you are patient and watch you can find good lease rates. What I see that is hurting cattle market besides public perception of beef is the cost of feed and hay. Yes I raise the...

    how long to grow hair in cooler

    There is NO substitute to rinsing, blowing and combing your show steers/heifers multiple times daily. The cooler is another valuable tool that I like but it is just another tool as you still need to rinse, blow and comb your animals. I like coolers cause I do the same as what VC said, I rinse...

    Opinions of my steer?

    I agree with VC on the grain, but if his flank don't drop close to show, I would use some depth charge, beat pulp or other product to fill out his gut that you like at the show. That will help hide some of the flank and I would be sure to stagger his rear legs a little as that will help hide...

    best bull for making mommas?

    I agree with the ones on the list WB but these above ones need to be on the list as much as the ones an the list, then I would also add Irish Whisky to that list.

    Club Calf Bull Sales?

    He should be plenty mature enough by next breeding season (Late May early June 2013) to be breeding. So this spring bull calves would probably work just fine even though I would be concerned about his calving ease being a Monopoly Money X Who Da Man. I will probably get a different clean up bull...

    The One We've All Heard About - New Sire for 2013!

    Thanks, Chambero. I will look for a past catalog. But that has to be one good cow (N117) producing all those winners.

    Ultra sound Back fat

    We have a 1,000lb min weight at our local and state fair. We do not have a min daily weight gain that we have to meet even though there is an award for that. Our steers are ultrasounded for the marbling and back fat percentage also. Usually the clubby steers do not do well in the ultrasound but...

    The One We've All Heard About - New Sire for 2013!

    Agree with Zach, hate the name but love the bull calf, can do much better than his name. I do like his breeding though as I am a fan of Milkman. Who is N117 for the dam? I would like to know the breeding in the dam and a pic also of the dam. Real nice bull calf!

    Club Calf Bull Sales?

    Everyone thanks for your posts, not ignoring you. I have been in Chicago for the past 6 days for my work and just got back late last night. I did not have internet out there except by my phone which takes forever and looking to get a 4G Iphone soon. But anyway I got several PM's and looking...
