    Judging a County Fair Heifer Show off BREED...fair, or not????

    Oh man, I wonder if 4-H offices send the results of the carcass contest to the judges???? I would love for our wonderful judge to also know that his grand champ pick came in the bottom 1/3 of carcass judging and graded select!!!! And the reserve only placed three above that. Geez.........I know...

    Carcass contest

    Thanks SouthWest. That's my thought. I guess I also look at the fact that the buyers in our county spend a lot of money for the grand and reserve steers. Yes, they were probably the prettiest and showiest out of the barn but they should expect/receive at least a choice grade product. I look at...

    Carcass contest

    In our county it's mandatory. If your steer makes sale it's automatically entered in the carcass contest. Should there be any relativity between the quality of meat to the placing of the steers in show? I was always told that a good showring judge should be able to place the grand and reserve in...

    Carcass contest

    I think you are looking at two separate topics. Showing in the actual beef show and having fun with your project and then having your carcass judged for quality.

    Carcass contest

    Every year at our county fair we have a carcass contest for the steers that make auction and are butchered. I'd like some opinions on where other people think the grand champion and reserve should place within the carcass contest. It's my opinion that if you have a good judge and unaltered beef...

    Favorite thing to do on a farm or ranch?

    Mine is the excitement of watching a calf being born. What color will it be? What sex? We try and guess based on what it looks like before we check? I love watching the cow take care of a newborn. Nothing sweeter.

    mosque on hallowed ground

    They need to do a thourough investigation as to exactly where the funds would be coming from to build it. Also from what I've heard no construction companies are even willing to build it there. I agree it's their right to build but also that they are either callous for wanting to build it there...

    4-h leader

    It's so unfortunate that county fair competitions bring the absolute worst out in people. This was my daughter's ninth and final year in 4-H. When we started it was so much fun. The parents and families were united and everyone was there to have a good time. This year was miserable. People look...

    Sin City Mature Pic......

    We have an all white Sin City bull, Tommy Boy. He still looks great and he's 5 or 6 yrs old now. He's had great calves, super temperament, great hair etc. We had a full brother to him last spring, we steered him and he's huge! Planning on showing a nice shorthorn plus red roan heifer and an all...

    We are thinking about taking a couple of shorthorn heifers. Not sure yet though.

    Our favorites

    Here's a picture of our bull in his prime. He won grand champ shorthorn bull at Colorado State Fair when he was 5 months old. We've had a lot of fun with him and he has produced some really nice offspring.

    We are off to see the Wizard.....and maybe buy a showcalf or 2 along the way.

    We have two possibly three nice heifers. We live south of Denver. Don't know if you'd consider coming this way or not.

    Pretty stoked!!!!

    Thanks!!!! How are you? How did you do this year? We have another heifer that looks just like her. Same sire and dam. Are you going to be buying for next year? We have two or three heifers and a nice shorthorn plus steer. We go into fair next week. Come up and visit!

    Pretty stoked!!!!

    We sold our first 4-H calf to a girl in the next county last year. After getting a few e-mails with her concerns and progress this year we got an e-mail today that the shorthorn plus heifer took reserve grand champion!!!!! Pretty exciting as it's a competitive county and there were several...

    Hoof Rot

    Definitely give her antibiotics! If you can get her someplace dry and with a hose I'd spray the hoofs and then we take Bedadine (SP?) in a spray bottle and spray the hoof as much as we can. We had our heifer up in the corral so we did it two times a day till it was noticeably better. She blew...

    Need to buy grass hay

    Looking to buy two semi's of large bale grass hay. Would rather have square but round would work too. Would need it delivered to Monument Colorado. Had someone at 125 a ton but he flaked out. Needs to be decent quality no more than 10% weed. Thanks!
