I heard they were going more retro this year, with huge frames, sraight, straight, straight legs, and shallow flanks. (lol) 57 or 58 inch hip height cattle ought to do well!!! <rock>

30cc= 1 ounce, right? Also, could it be mixed in with the feed? Sorry about all the questions, but this stuff is kind of expensive, and I'm trying to figure out if it is worth the cost to do.

Like all the others said, they can ask any number of questions. Just remember what your weight that got wrote down is. Above all, relax and smile....you're supposed to be having fun!!! Good luck.

What doseage do you use, and do you topdress morning and evening?

I have a few questions about using melatonin. Do good-haired cattle benefit from it? Does it really help calm one down? Are the daily crushed pills really cheaper than putting in implants once a month? Which gives calves better hair, melatonin, or a good mineral program. Sorry for all the...

Up here, nobody's talking because they feel like they aren't getting very much for what the brought in. I can understand. The early planted wheat was pretty good here, but the late stuff was bad to very bad. I know of several people that will have the drills running in late August and early...

It depends mostly on what type of flour they are making. Everything (or most everything) that they don't use in flour goes to wheat middlings, for use in range cubes, creep feed, hog feed, etc.

I know a farm family in central Oklahoma that also owns a cafe with lots and lots of traffic. Just about every bushel that they raise goes into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, flour, etc. for the cafe. I'm sure that they aren't griping about poor basis right now.

Sometimes a lack of nitrogen can cause lower protein levels. You usually see that when there was an adequate amount (or what you would think be an adequate amount) of N put down either pre-plant, or in the late fall, and the growing conditions are good for the better part of the growing season...

It certainly goes both ways. We bought a couple of steers off of a fellow not very far away from us. This was my kids first time to have show cattle. He layed it on pretty thick about how he would come look at the cattle once a month and make feed reccomendations etc. when he saw them, he would...

Are you talking dockage right now as in this week, or as a whole? Keep in mind, this harvest is still terribly early. The berrry itself maybe 13% moisture or less, but the plant probably is not completely dead, making it really tough to clean, especially with the humidity at 40% or better. Also...

When I bought a trailer last year, I had a list of things I wanted. The biggest for me was a side ramp. The top thing on the list for my wife was a tack room so the kids could have a clean place to change clothes. There are times now when I wish that I had a ramp on the back for the showbox...

I sent 2 trucks down to the Altus area yesterday to help haul out. Sounds like pretty decent yields so far. Talked to a fellow at Wheeler Bros. out of Watonga this morning, and he said Omega and Kingfisher both took 1 tandem load apiece yesterday. Must've been Jagalene. Just driving home from...

The weatherman says that we may be in line to have a repeat of that again this evening up here in the northern part of the state. The moisture would be welcomed, but we could do without the severe stuff.

Jobe's Blue Ribbon Show Supply. Their web address is  www.blueribbinshowsupply.com    Great people!!!

Could someone explain to me how extra fat stunts them? I was under the impression that only cigarettes and coffee were the only things that did that!!

My son has a Sep. born steer that weighs around 650-670 and looks like he could get kind of tall. I have talked to several people who have told me we need to switch from a grower/developer to a finisher along with some extra fat. I'm not worried about hair, as we don't start reall getting...

My kids are looking for a couple of used fans, or some cheaper barn fans. We bought a couple of Maxess fans off of wpenrod last year, and are happy with them, but I just need 2 more. I called QC supply, but it would cost an extra $100.00 to ship from them, so I don't know that it would be that...

Just wondering when buying club calves how much (if any) value is added when a steer is halter broke. Back in the day (20 years ago) everybody said it was worth $100.00. What's it worth now?

Some of these people need to understand that change is not always a bad thing. The total population of our whole county is just over 5,000 people. There are usually 150 pigs, 30 sheep, 30 goats, 2 or 3 heifers and 8-12 steers. They will sell 67 animals at the premium sale, with only one animal...
