She is a lat Feb calf

Picked up a nice Ace of Diamonds Heifer out of a F1 Hereford/Angus cow. I will post some of the pics I have of her but I warn you I did not take them and they dont do very good justice. I am wanting to throw a Shorthorn on her but am pretty new to the breed and could use a little direction. Been...

I am trying to break into the cattle industry as a first generation rancher. I am lucky to have a mentor who has been in the business for most of his life. I plan to here soon sit down with him and really pick his brain about his success and failures. I wanted to see if you guys had any...

Our county fair has not open classes so thats not even an option

Our state fairs entire open female show was done by 12 this year. None of the breeds are big but there is no Hereford show left we are just put in the "other" category now and we are getting tired of not being judged with other Herefords.

Just wrapped up at Denver and looking to hit it pretty hard this year. We are in western CO and are looking to hit up some more state fairs any suggestions? Our own fair is pretty lame anymore with only one to two entries per class.

That I am not sure of we just wrote down prices

Sometimes being involved in to much at once can teach some great lessons of its own. As they get older they will learn time management and to cope with a busy demanding schedule. And even on occasion to admit when they may have bitten off more then they can chew and how to bow out politely and...

buy the nicest calf you can without going broke and work your butt off! A $10,000 steer can be out of the money just as easy as a $2000 one. Showing at Denver is a great learning experience no matter what and some spend their whole lives trying to win Denver and never do.

there are some really good threads on curly hair already. there was one not to long ago about a Charolais with curly hair I wrote a long thing about. Basically get use to using a rice root brush it will be your new bff. brush them dry dont blow and so shopping in the ethnic hair care product...

Never showed Angus but all bull shows are basically the same. Have you ever shown steers? bulls and steers are pretty similar. where things get different is really when you get to the clipping and fitting. you want the bull to look clean straight and muscular. Make sure you get the point across...

Jeff I just have to say I personally loved your videos, they were very professional and as someone else said promoted all the bulls on a level field. I can totally understand where you are coming from though. This may be on example where so much instant access to media is a bad thing and all the...

We will be there with one heifer at the same time. If you pass by Diamond R Herefords feel free to say hi!

Well as far as things to see the Yard is a must. The type of cattle on display will just depend on your time there but definitely take a stroll along the catwalk its a pretty impressive view. Catch some classes there at the Auction arena too if you can. The way things are done there is pretty...

Hereford Breeder here! I feel your pain for that horrible curly hair and I will tell you what we have done to ours. First a rice root brush will become your new BFF Always grab your brush first and brush all the hair straight down and keep doing it till your calf is starting to dry. Only then...

Are you taking a calf or just going as a spectator?

Out of town for work and one of my mom's 6 month old steers got stuck upside down. She was able to get him out and up on his sternum. Hes pretty out of it I guess and seems to want to sleep. Has no interest in getting up. What can she do to help him if anything or is it just something time will...

Please keep us posted!! For those of us unable to attend. HERF ALL THE WAY!
