I just surfed their site.  There is NO WHERE on it about ongoing helping of animals.  Just propaganda baout the "cruelty".  One article took my eye being a haorse person.  "36 hours on a truck to slaughter in Quebec"....What did they expect?  All the slaughterhouses closed in the US.  And they...

First yer we told our cousin to find us the quietest sweeted heifer he could.  Didn't have to be a top of the line jsut something that wouldn't hurt him and give him confidence.  It was a simmi heifer that only would walk for him and last time I saw her she would still run to me for a scratch. ...

feel for you. Had a steer trimmed we were heading to jr nationals with only to have the trimmer who we had used before trim him so bad it took 6 weeks for him to be grown out enough to level him and fix the problem.  Putting him the table is the best bet to see what is going on.  Ask the vet...

As Mr Leninger explained at the champion's meeting the "top 5" for steers are the Grand and Reserve then 3 others are picked that will sell in the sale.  He did not refer to them as a Top 5.  So I would think this is why you are only allowed to have 1 steer in the 5 picked to sell in the sale ...

When you have the level of quality in the ring for a Sr finals who all are capable of setting a calf to look it's best and you feel they can all answer the generic questions of feeding, genetics, comformation theses types of questions are more about what the long term goals are and understanding...

Just passing this along and sharing.  Steve Gunn judged and his first question in the prelims he asked our son  was "Tell me about your calf" and in the finals for Sr he asked  and this is the theme of the question not a comple quote...What can you do to promote the cattle industry and get new...

First.  Congratulations! (clapping)  Not only on the win but on teaching her about a life lesson.  I think if we don't feel bad, we haven't had whole experience of raising a market animal.  My son is now 18.  We have more issues with selling those darn pigs as he has not taken many steers.  When...

If a judge is approached at the end of the show for a discussion( very civil one) and they admit to making a mistake with not only 1 class but the overall decision, does that make them more respected or less respected?  Should they stand by their decision and just say it was thier opinion for...

Thank you for posting this.  I know it's a cattle forum by there are those of us that love all our show stock. My friend lost her very special showhorse to an accident this week.  Stories like this remind us we may be having what we think is the worst day of our lives when we lose an animal but...
