    Shadybrook Scotty 83K calves, and other!

    Your herd is looking really nice! But your killin' me with these pictures of green, green grass in December!  ;) Don't know too much about the double muscling thing, but I think that the Telestar 151 calf is just well developed in the hind quarter....

    Shootings!!! N/C

    Speaking from personal experience the media does not repect a grieving family's wishes at all. They will phone around and come to your town and see if they can find a juicy story. The fact that someone is grieving the loss of a loved means nothing to them except ratings if they can get the juicy...

    Junior sires

    I hope not  :-\ We really like our black angus cross with shorthorn. Not because of colour. We just think that combination works well together. If  blacks become unpopular than my poor 11 year old is in for a tough lesson. He just purchased his first purebred black angus cow. Well, at least...

    Junior sires

    Very nice! The white bull is going to add some size and growing ability to whatever he is breeding. Our blue roans sold well again this year. We sold two white heifers and they mistook them for charlois  ??? and one roan heifer as a crossbred  :-\ If anyone knows of a guys looking for shorthorn...

    Don't want to get to theological here but, here goes. All man is born with sinful nature, because of the fall into sin in the garden of Eden. I do believe children are born with serious issues. They need all the professional help that you can give them.  I would like to share an newspaper...

    Shootings!!! N/C

    It is hard to believe that someone could do something so awful. Our prayers go out to all those affected by this. "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Ps 18:2

    New 4-H steers (updated with show results)

    The steers are all 1/2 shorthorn from the same sire. The last picture is of the heifer my son pick as a project for this year. She is not a show heifer but I think she'll make a good cow. This year we did not give our oldest any advice he had to pick his own animals. He picked the black steer...

    New 4-H steers (updated with show results)

    Its that time of year again for us. The kids have to have their steers picked by December 7th when we have Weigh Day. Our boys pick from what we have, we don't buy our 4-H projects. My niece picked a steer from our pen again as well, so there are 3 steers going to the fair in July. The pictures...

    Thank you SP

    I just thought I would share with y'all that both my boys had to share a report with the class about their trip to Agribition. Our 8 year old apparently gave a very informative report with a lot of humour mixed in (according to the teacher) and our 10 year old spent 1/2 hour infront of the class...

    Thank you SP

    Elm Creek 4-H Beef Club would like to thank all the people on SP who volunteered their services for our clubs scavenger hunt at Canadian Western Agribition.  (clapping)  The kids really enjoyed meeting you all and getting your "autograph" was a pretty big deal. Lots of talk on the bus about a...
