I tend to agree with Chambro and Cowboy...I sure want to know more of the story before I start pilling on and adding more fuel to the fire that I'm sure groups like HSUS and PETA would like to see.  I saw these few lines in one of the articles and they really struck me: Last week, Shepherd...

That's a great idea!  Another suggestion is to "friend" Trent Loos, even if you don't know Trent personally he is a great advocate for agriculture and he would accept your request.  He travels alot to spread the word. Mike

A FB custom URL or just a URL in general? For the FB URL go to facebook.com\username\

Looks good, now that you have over 25 fans you should get a custom URL, it is free and easy....you can do it here: http://www.facebook.com/username/ Instead of a long link you can change it to something like facebook.com\RTM (if it's avaialable).  I did it with all of my pages, here is an...

It looks good, make sure you get a custom URL when you get to 25 fans.  It will make it much easier for people to find you, instead of an address like this: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Sundays-Best-Club-Calf-Sale/129702610429877 You can have an address like: facebook.com\SBCCS or...

$6 per head per day is much to high to take care of cows, that makes a yearly cost of $2200 not including the initial investment.  The owner would have to average over $2500 on the calves to make any money. As others have asked are you paying expenses or are you just charging a yardage fee?  If...

If you are not buying something to show I would suggest you buy a bred heifer, you are a year closer to your money and based on the type and kind of cattle you are buying you may not spend much more money.

I would say go for it, if it doesn't work out chalk it up to experience.  One thing to be aware of is that with only 1 head you will be either 100% or 0% when it comes to things like death loss, breeding percentage, weaning percentage, etc.  As someone once told me if it breaths it can die...

I think you may be confused about what commercial cattle are and where their standards come from.  I don't know of any commercial cattlemen that are going to the State Fair or Stock Show to determine which cattle work best in their environement. If you went to a ranch in the Sandhills of...

Tomorrow and Saturday will be big days....people will probably start to tear down on Sunday afternoon, by Monday it will look like a ghost town.

I agree, if you move the NWSS it may not seem like "Denver" any more.  I have been going for over 20 years and it is what it is......it's Denver.  I hope they leave it as is.

He should have let him call a play....couldn't have done any worse than our OC.

I am fairly certain that the guy at 1:02, in the green hat, is Steve Kranau from Nebraska.

In my opinion the HD vid was better but the SD was certainly good enough.  I did have some buffering with the HD videos and I am on a cable connection so I would think you would be better off giving up a little bit of quality to improve the experience for the user....no one likes to sit and...

Take them to the dry cleaners and make sure they use real starch and not sizing.

In addition to showing cattle we also show horses and therefore I spend some time on a forum for those that show horses, here their policy: A. In an effort to allow truths and factual information regarding the horse industry to actually be learned as important, useful information ... FACTUAL...

If you know of people that just want to get rid of show equipment regardless of loss please pass the info on to the people here on the Planet....I am sure lots of people would be very interested. If you are looking for a 200 pound showbox that someone made in their garage or a 400 pound steel...

My experience has been that most all used show equipment usually sells for near new price so most of the time you are better off buying new. Mike

No weight limit at our fair, all based on birthday. Rule is no bull calves so I guess they could be cut the day before the fair and be ok.  No rules on horns.
