    shorthorn junior national

    The thing I found most interesting was there was only one DV steer shown. I talked to Matt for awhile when I was there on Tuesday and was really impressed with their steer so I was glad to hear they had a good day with him. Looking at the calf you would never have guessed he was out of Spike Jr...

    Jr Nationals

    The life of a traveling salesman allowed me to stop off at the Jr. Nationals today. I don't know what the exact numbers were but it seemed smaller then what I thought it would be. The people I talked to said there were numerous cancellations. There were alot of really good calves, the Hunter...

    End of a great herd!!

    The dynamics of the breed have shifted a great deal in the last few years. Most of the herds that had production sales when we first started buying are no longer having sales or out of business. I think the reduction and dispersion of alot of established herds over the last few years is a...

    The Peterson's

    IMO he raises some of the best calves in the state. He had the champion steer at Louisville a few years ago. He is a part owner of the Dr. Business bull that is RSC's avatar. It would be worth the trip just to meet Dennis as he is one of the more colorful people in the cattle business. Maybe RSC...

    nationalizing oil

    To kind of hijack this thread what about makeing the speed limit 55 again. My parents have started driving 55 everywhere and are getting 8 mpg better. I don't think I could reguarlly drive that slow unless forced but think of the money we would save and the decrease in consumption there would be...

    college football tickets

    Most people forget that celebrities are just people. Jordy Nelson was one of the first people to come look at my folks farm when it came up for auction. I have family in KC that were upset that we didn't get his autograph when he visited. We have known Jordy's family our whole life and his...

    who and why

    We have had over 200 years of white male presidents and IMO the country is still not ready to elect a female or person of color to the presidency. Especially a person of color who has a name very similar to the number 1 enemy of the USA. I just feel that the democratic party is out of touch with...

    who and why

    If the democrats wanted to win this election all they had to do was run a white male. Any white male at all, that's how tired most of America is of the current presidency. The democratic party is truly in sad shape when they can't turn out at winning candidate under the current government...

    Showmanship

    The best showman I have ever seen is Don Cardey from California. That being said he is probally the last person you would want you child to emulate in the ring as there is a big difference between showmanship in open and junior shows. To me open shows are about getting your animal noticed while...

    What products and/or equipment you can't do without?

    I'm surprised Troy forgot to mention that you can also use a blower to detail a car. Open both doors and blow all the dirt and trash out the door you are not standing in. In a few minutes you will have a clean car. It is hard to belive how many uses things have in the hands of a farmer.

    What can anyone tell me about the Bull Killer Instinct

    Since we have established his carrier status I like him so much if we had any cows I would use him. The supreme heifer at the KBE was a KI.

    What products and/or equipment you can't do without?

    Have we all forgotten the many uses of the 5 gallon bucket. Not only are they great for hauling grain and water they can also be used for storing all sorts of randon stuff we don't want to lose, until we forget what bucket we tossed it in. Every farmer has a bucket in the back of their truck...
