Put it on and leave it on all the time. Only pull it off when you rinse. Once the animal is dry, put it back on.

I've got a 16 ft. Had a neighbor that had one that was 10 or 12 ft. It was also a single axle.

Feed and time.

At the last possible moment. When I was growing up, I had a heifer that just would not gentle down. I could catch her, but she just would not lead. She had no respect for the halter and would drag me around like a rag doll. She wasn't mean, just wanted to get away. I stuck with it and kept...

What is the name of this green shampoo you speak of?

Lincoln. Keep in mind when raising heifers that masculine bulls produce feminine females.

Beet pulp.

I should have asked this before I answered. I assumed the steer got branded.

Our county agent talked to some of the higher ups on the auction committee. They told him the expect the bonus money to be well in excess of $3000 this year.

That's just brutal. These people are, after all, playing by the rules that are currently in place.

She will get a check for the gauranteed $2250 in about 90 days. There is a bonus pool of money that consists of any money bid over the gaurantee and under the capped amount. This money is pooled from the whole sale. It is used first to bring any lot that sold poorly up to its gaurantee. The...

I raise registered brangus, and the system we have is very very frustrating to me. As a kid showing, we were required to have papers and classify as well. The paper deal was a joke. All of the counterfeit brangus came along with counterfeit papers. We just bred our cattle better and were...

I don't know what to tell you. I had one like that a couple months ago and I put it on antibiotics. When it got to two weeks old it died anyway.

How is the African horn gene expressed? What makes it different than the regular horned gene?

16' high for two reasons. I'm located in Texas so warmth in winter is not a concern. The higher we can build the roof, the cooler it will stay in summer. The second reason is when the show careers are over, I have the option of removing the pens and using it for equipment storage. The cooler...

I use a ration now that's really similar to AAOKs ration. I developed it with a nutritionist that was helping me with some rations for my commercial operation. I use it as a grower all the way through finishin stage. I tweak it from time to time depending on what my goals are. If you're...

Thanks sizzler. I have a full working facility in my pens that'll be right outside the barn. I will use it for the major things. I was thinking about putting a head gate in the working area for the show cattle related emergencies.

Thanks for that idea. I mix all my feed in bulk and will have bulk bins on the left side of the feed room. There will be "porthole" doors just big enough to get my auger in to unload the feed. But a big door is still a good idea. You never know what the future holds.

We are in the planning phase of building a new show barn. The dimensions I have in mind are 50'x100'x16'. Here is a drawing on how I'm planning on laying it out. The entire feed room, wash rack and storage area will be concrete. Of course the pens will open up to traps on the outside for nightly...

PM'd you.
