First off nyk, I do love the heifer you posted in the past, and if I was picking replacement heifers she is the type. Here is a portion of and article I found, it basically confirms what you are saying, show heifers do tend to go one direction as far as type and look. An Ideal Breeding Heifer...

What is wrong with this heifer? I'm asking so I can understand what one should be looking for.

I second the Stabilized Rice Bran (SRB), start them off at 1/2 pound a feeding work up to a pound a feeding over the first week. It will put a smooth layer of cover on one. I have not had it effect one yet as far as eating or upsetting their digestion track. Along with adding fat it also helps...

I bred my 2nd calf heifer to Exar tyron (she lost her first calf out of another Angus calving ease bull (not) it was close to 100 pounds). The Tyron calf came easy, must have been all of 60 pounds, she was a tiny little thing but now at 9 months is pushing 800 pounds, balanced and very feminine...

There are options out there, they just cost money. You would just have to line the collapsible containers with plastic but you would be able to break them down as you got to the bottom https://www.bulkcontainerexpress.com/c/bulk_bins.html

I bet in 10 years someone will start a thread just like this one, I will also bet 10 years ago someone started a thread just like this one. My boys never did win it all, they may have finished in the top of their class, won their division a few times and always competed with the top steers...

Wow! is all I have to say. We walked through the pens at Colburn Cattle this past weekend, they have a little more 60 head of Angus heifers selling in the next two weeks. It is almost impossible to pick them a part, from top to bottom, a solid set of heifers and a gentle bunch as well. First set...

Wanted to give an update on our Foundation, Curren’s Cows, we are ready to accept applications, I have sent out the information to the State FFA, 4H and Grange Boards. Colburn Cattle is sponsoring the first heifer this year, and we have collected over $7,000 and have at least $5,000 more to come...

I had an EXAR tryon Calf this past weekend, Heifer calf must have weighed all of 60 pounds, Calf was 7 days early based off of a July 27 breeding, came easy and healthy. This was the cows second calf, last year she had a huge heifer out of another supposed to be calving ease bull, had to be at...

We always started trying to grow hair hard 90 to 100 days out from our fair, so time wise your fine. The trick is to brush. brush, brush, rinse, brush, brush, and brush some more. I'm not going to recommend any one supplement but there are quite a few out there to choose from to help with hair...

It would help to know what you are currently feeding, that fat and protein percentage, the lbs per day , what his weight is now, what your target weight is, when your show is. There are different solutions for different scenarios.

I would say give her a tap on the nose with the handle of the show stick, if your daughter will do that. Plus make sure to stay at least a calf length if not more behind the other calf so you have some room to correct her or turn her before she gets to the other calf. You may want try what we...

There is a young lady in our county who's family owns a dairy, they flush her old show heifer and use the Holstein heifers as recips, they bottle feed the calves since those heifers go into the milk string after calving. I would say for the most part it has worked out for them, but then, they...

A little over a year and a half ago my life changed, in looking for answers I have found a way that I hope I can change someones  life in a positive way. I contacted several of the members on this board for their thoughts on what I was planning and if they remember me contacting them, thank you...

cowman, I am going to guess she is on hay as well.

In our area the kids send letters out to people and businesses who regularly buy from the kids at the fair, the feed mill they buy from, business in the community and such. Some hand deliver the letters to the businesses dressed in their FFA or 4H uniform. They explain how the process works and...

On the grindings, we use it in our equipment staging area, really depends on the grinder, some of it is like raw material, others have huge 3" to 6" chunks. If it is finer material it packs really well, cows hooves may tear it up. I put 3/4 rock around the water tank, by the end of winter it is...
