I hope Jill doesn't get mad at me for sticking up for her. I know her family and yes they are very successful but they also work extremely hard with their animals. I also know that they don't spend a ton on what they buy, but they also have raised some outstanding animals. I have a ton of...

Over the last few years there has been a steady increase in the number of non black cows showing up in pastures. For the most part they are Charolais and can be directly contributed to Finks getting in to the breed. Fifteen years ago you never saw a Charla's cow but as soon as Galen started...

Sue I grew up about 5 miles north of them. My dads health went south about four years ago and we got out of the shorthorn bizz (he just got a new hip on Monday). We still have a few embryos to start again someday and a neighbor who has bought enough cows from us to keep some of our favorite...

I remember seeing SBS Chase as a calf and about fifty other times throughout my life. In my mind he is the best beast I ever saw at Bill's. My first thought when I saw him was that Bill bought him somewhere. I about fell over when Bill told me he raised him. IMO he was about ten years before his...

For us shorthorn and/or California people I always look forward to watching Don Cardey show. He is an absolute wild card and you never know what he is going to do, but he is in my mind, the best in the country at getting cattle noticed in the ring. One time at Denver I saw him drop a heifers...

IMO this is right up there with Wankel's and Dean's (in my shorthorn lifetime) and since Bob also had access to genetic marketing that those two firms didn't this sale might even be bigger. No offense to Alden's, ARSULU, Rocker's, Greenridge and others but this is a true dispersal which I think...

There is no risk in buying Dottie just ask your banker for a extra $18,000 on top of the purchase price and clone her, she will stay young forever. Retirement is tough it has been 4 years since we sold the cows and dad still misses them. He checks every sale catalog we get to see if anything...

OHB are you really garybob in disguise. We haven't had a good hoof size conversation in awhile. I personally find her heel depth more of a concern then the actual hoof size. ;D

Finally we can admit all of those early calves have been born. Or do we wait until tomorrow because a 1/1 birthdate would be to obvious. (:))

My little brother went there and so did aj's son. My brother didn't transfer so aj might know more about what transfers. My brother was there when Clyde Cranwell and all of the old Colby CC guys were there so I think they might have been alittle more persuasive on getting things to tansfer then...

Virgil passed away a few years ago but Steve is still running the cow herd. They are still going strong and sticking to the same breeding philosophy they have had for decades. Call Steve he would have as good of idea as anyone on what is available.

We have had a handfull of cows from Bob over the years. He is the only person I have to free up an evening just to call because I know I will be on the phone for a few hours talking. He seems to be using alot of the older genetics lately which seem to be working from him. His take on the breed...

How is the bull doing? Won't make it to Denver if you got a picture I would like to see how he is doing.

I have never read an article about the champion steer at Denver, Louisville, The Royal or any other major where the exhibitor said "why name him he will die anyway" they always have a name. I have also seen several unclipped, half finished steers who got pulled out of grandpas feedlot two weeks...

I didn't know if I should put this in the classifieds or or here but I would like to thank Jason for offering the classified section. What a service! We have gotten numerous replies in everything we have posted there and today I finally got j3 his cow delivered that he bought off of our...

I would start with Wayne Temple

I've only judged a few shows but I always asked what the animals name was especially the older kids. For me it is a a good way to sort out the kids who say "I don't care to name it, it's just going to die any way." Though not scientific I have found that the kids whose animals are named are...

One of my favorites happened a few years at the KJLS so maybe a few other KS people might remember this as well. A younger boy had a calf that should have stood toward the bottom of the class. The calf got away from the kid a few times and stepped on him. The kid was shook up but stayed in the...

I have zero confidence in all of my picks. I would like to think OU would beat Florida but with injuries and Tebow wanting to show up Bradford I don't know. The game game I am most looking forward to is the Boise State v. TCU mathchup.

Nice doesn't sell cattle. Between the start time and "technical difficulties", you can tell where the sale ranks in importance. If I was a consignor I would not have been a happy fellow especially if I knew I had money coming over the net. My family has been strong advocates of the KBE in the...
