I haven't used Twitter and don't know that I will but I signed up for a Facebook account a few months ago and I must admit it is cool.  I have found people htat I haven't talked with in years.  I think you would be amazed at the people you find on there. Mike

Meyer 734?

Chan Phillips in KY may be able to help you out.  They have been hauling and custom fitting Simmentals for a long time. Mike

We have a 7 x 20 with a 4 foot tack room and it works great for us.  We show both horses and cattle and like you mentioned it is great to have a place the kids can change without taking cloths in and out.  We have a lot of things like tools, wire, locks, brushes, etc. that stay on the trailer...

Agreed but the difference is that if I spend $350k on a combine my banker is going to let me add it to my balance sheet at about $350k.  If I buy a bull for $10k it is going on my balance sheet at about $800 dollars (salvage value).  I don't disagree that money can be well spent when it comes to...

It seems like there are calves everywhere selling for $10k, $15k, $20k, and more.  Shortly after I started college, which would have been the late 80's, I recall being at the Stoltz sale in Nebraska and a steer sold for $5,000 and that was a big deal.  When did we get to the point we are at...

I haven't tried any yet but saw someone suggest Qc Supply for fans, qcsupply.com.  They have some fans that look almost identical to Sullivan fans for less money. Mike

My 12 year old and 10 year old girls both have a couple of purses, they have nothing important in them and carry them once in a while but certainly not on a regular basis...more of a fun thing for them than anything else. Mike

i tend to agree with Jason, in my opinion the pictures should be larger they seem to get lost in the background. Mike

You may want to take a look at the Foundation Female sale, looks like lots of good Simmentals in the catalog: http://www.foundationfemalesale.com/

I agree, even if you do end up selling her she will be worth more with a live calf. Mike

If you don't think cattle have a memeory you must not have spent much time around cattle.  Why do you think electric fences work?  Try bucket feeding cattle for a few days and I will promise you it won't take them long to come running when they see you with a bucket.  Run a calf through a chute...

I might, got the catalog yesterday...looks like some good cattle.  There is also a semen and embryo auction the night before. Mike

You keep them in a semen tank, they come in a similar straw.  In theory they should be good forever. Mike

I have a friend that uses the baby names books that you can get at WalMart.  One other thing he does that I thought was kind of cool is to use the same letter as the cattle are tatooed with.  For instance the letter W is the Simmental letter for 09 so all his heifer calf names will start with...

Is the calf by himself or with another calf?  I have always found that a little competition will help with intakes. Mike

I think we see such a difference in opinions here because, as I see it, we have gotten to the point in the show cattle industry that we have a lot of non cattle people showing cattle.  In my opinion the fact that you have 5 or 6 cows doesn't make you a cattleman (or cattlewomen), There are a lot...

I think it is a stretch to compare the harvest of wild horses to that of Bald Eagles, Bison, and Wolves.  In fact I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of people in the US are unaware that wild horses exist.  I agree that Bald Eagles and to some extent Bison represent America but wild...

Does anyone know how long Sullivan adhesives, paints, and hocus pocus will last?  A lot of the shows we have been going to are going no fit so we have a little excess of these.  If they will last a long time I will keep them but if not I will give them to a friend who goes to a lot of breed...

I didn't want to hijack the other "dumb calf" thread so I started a new one.  When I saw the title it made me think of something my daughter and I spoke about last week.  We have 6 cattle that we are bringing to the county fair.  Of the 6 there are 5 that are very easy to catch in the open lot. ...
