Calves sired by Stout won our co fair 3 yrs in arow in early 90's.  The thing about them i remember most most was they were all born with a weird color pattern kinda reddish tiger stripped which made them a hard sell but all turned out black when they shed out.

I would use northern improvement if it has to be an angus bull. There are some pretty decent calving ease maine bulls that may give you a better chance of showy calf.  Saw some pretty good ali solution calves this year that came small but grew really well.  Keep in mind that that head shape and...

Was wondering how it was gonna take for someone to catch that.  (lol)  Same thing happened here couple years ago with some pics of calves for sale.  Everybody started asking questions about the calves and so on, only prob was they would of been 4 yrs old at that point. 

That's actually about 95% of the battle.  If your daughter has the desire the rest is piece of cake.  Make it fun, don't worry about how she places and enjoy the daylights out of this experience.  I have 2 daughters ages 12 and just turning 8.  Both are barn rats and love to do this.  What...

Market or breeding prospect?

Check out www.whiteroostercattle.com  They have the kind of bulls you're looking for to make momma cows.  Not sure if they offer sexed semen but can always as.  Good luck.

You heard right.  We had a great time, learned more than could imagine or remember and can't wait for next year's one.  Thanks to Callyn, Lacey and everyone that put this on and also to the Sullivan family for their dedication to the youth.  <party> <party>

I've found it goes both ways.  Bought a few 3 weeks ago and none went to max bid weren't really close.  Then I've had them hit max or just a bid below. Also been times when it went way over so someone else was bidding or had a higher one than mine.  It's a chance you take.

Here's my 2 cents (which may not even be worth that).......Every auction wether online, tele, or live real in person there is a chance someone can or is running the bids.  Auctioneers do it all the time "pulling" bids to get things moving.  What i do with the online sales is decide what i want...

Most of these sales have terms for pickup.  Usually by Aug or Sept.  Call the consignors and find out exactally what they will do and what the terms are.  Most of the calves we have bought this way the process was quite easy.  We've had people hold them for an extra week or 2 without any...

Also check on Breeder's World and Caldwell Willouby Sales.  Both are on-line auction sites and there seems to be a sale in Ohio or Indiana every day in September and October.

http://www.steerplanet.com/summer-hair-care-tips/  Rinse him twice a day brush,brush,brush and brush some more, keep him under fans and in the darkest part of your barn.

Your best bet is to check with a commercial lighting store. They can give you alot of info.  If in doubt add an extra one or 2 fixtures now because its alot easier then going back later.  For what its worth we have a 12x24 clipping room with same lining as yours.  We have 3 fixtures with 4...

Do you mean rinsing 2x a day or actually washing 2x a day? 

Maybe it's his color markings or the way he's standing kinda leaning to the left but that steer/bull calves front end/legs look awefully funky. 

Cost will vary greatly depending on what materials you may have access to and cost of concrete and other supplies in your area. I framed our with salvage lumber from a building that fell down, got a load of rejected concrete from a bridge construction project close by and lined it with second...

Ours is 12 x 24 which may seem big but in the winter I use a tarp to divide it in two which makes for a seperate clipping area if you need it.  May be a little tight quarters but its warm in there which is a whole lot better than having all the room you want in the barn at 10 degrees.

Yes

My daughter's show steer prolapsed this past year. Started when he was about 1000 lb and got worse as he grew.  Initially vet said to use the preparation H n suppositries but we ended up putting a purse string suture in him.  Put him in head lock and loaded up with lidocane.  Said it happens in...
