I am so aggravated!!!! We didn't buy any cows this year so everything has been at our ranch with the exception of taking this heifer and our steer (who also has it) to stock show. It was a miserable experience. We have gone for years but this year they both got sick with upper respiratory crap...

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I have done some reading and comparing of symptoms and I am pretty sure they have scabies. I have a call into the vet. From what I've read you can treat with Ivermic giving a shot sub. I need to find out how much, if I can use it on pregnant and...

My cows have spots on then up to about the size of a silver dollar that they have lost their hair and it's really thick and scaly. When you scratch at it it flakes off and then their is raw skin underneath. Our one heifer has that and now big dried blood scabs all over her back and tailhead. Our...

Put her in a closed stall and get the show stick out! Rub her all over with it. Keep working her legs with it until she quits kicking. Get a halter on her and lead her in circles in the stall till she starts to lead. Expand the area a little. We had a really hard heifer to break too. I am a true...

Now I've heard it all!!!! (lol)

I've read the article and everyone's posts. Just recovering from NWSS and thinking about the steers I saw there. We were in for the prospect show but we were able to keep our stall up from the shorthorn show so we were right in the thick of the market steers stalls. I was in awe of how...

I got a pair of snowboarding pants. They work great.

One of our cows had a very large bull calf. Definitely over 100 pd and probably closer to 115. What is the best age to band him? We want him to be mature enough but also trying to keep the size down some so he can be a show steer. Thanks for the help!

Are you looking for steers or heifers? This is my daughters last year to show and we are raising several club calves for next year. Spruce Mountain Ranch has an auction in October I think that we will probably be part of. But would also be willing to private treaty too.

What is the longest time anyones ever heard of between births? I swear our cow who delivered a calf about three weeks ago is still pregnant. She's huge!

I rub our calves legs with a wash brush. You know the hard plastic ones that you put your hand in. We've had good luck with it and the calves love having their legs rubbed and will stand there forever.

We have a couple of KaBa cows. We've had really good luck breeding to Sin City.

He's our gentle giant. He is a full brother to our bull and tame as a puppy dog. I think he's going to pasture for a month or so and then we'll bring him back in. Thought the prospect judge was pretty decent but on my daughter's way out he called our extremely white pb shorthorn steer a...

I am going to try the bacon grease. Wondering why it works though :O)

New bumper sticker ideas...............add yours You voted for him, I didn't. Having fun yet?

You should submit the 4th one to the Shorthorn Magazine for the cover. It's pretty cool!

Congrats on both accounts <party> <party> <party>

I'd like to think that's what this judge was provided with, however I saw the yellow cover of the class list which was exactly the same as what we received that had all of the breeding info on it. Plus I swear he made mention that he placed a heifer above another one in one of our classes...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Worked her for only 5-10 minutes this morning in the stall. Only place it was dry. She did ok. She has been wearing her halter for a couple of days so I took it off. I'll give her a couple of days off while we are at Prospect show and give it another go round...

The year is 1947 Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico .. This is a well known incident that many say has...
