So report the leader to the county and state officials and move on. Accept the fact that in all aspects of life you will run into "not so nice" people who will run over their Mom to get ahead of life. Anything to win, anything to make themselves feel better about their own (probably pethitic)...

Some calves, and pedigrees are just not vigourous. By your description the calf sounds a bit "unsound". All you can do is make sure you keep him hydrated, and keep him cool. Sometimes it isn't meant to be.

Maybe someone needs to stop sugar coating it for you babytex. This heifer will more than likely NEVER make it to her first calf. She is a cripple. Her calf will carry her genetics, which will result in the same problem. You had the right idea in making her a MARKET heifer, which means she...

And that, my friends, is what it SHOULD be about!!  Congrats to a great individual and to his family for supporting him!!!  (clapping) (clapping) (clapping)

I am not on facebook.... so can't read it. Could someone copy and paste please? Thanks

Similar situation at our fair, only the comments were directed toward the actual youth member. As an FFA advisor, I went directly to the person, then went to the fairboard meeting and confronted the person and the board directly again. If she was my daughter, I would speak to the  leader, then...

Don't ignore your vet. If the heifer breeds, simply tell your vet. Many people think they can "walk on water" because no one has told them otherwise. You don't have to be rude (unless they get defensive) but simply say "Hey, you remember that heifer... well, she bred with the bull. Isn't that...

I'm going out on a limb here, but... seems like too many "older generation" is trying to  raise their grandchildren, instead of forcing their actual parents to raise them.  How can a 70 year old keep up with a 16 year old? Where are the real parents?  It's about time we hold the PARENTS...

A bit to "tubey" in my opinion, and hell, I am not even an "angus breeder"!  But you sure can tell when a clubbie breeder harps about a critter having too much depth... makes one go "hmmmmmm"

Some of these smaller shows "struggle" with proper fashion and behavior. At our local show, I mentioned it, and was told "this is a small show. Its not one of those professional show where a lot of money is spent" Are we doing these kids a favor by not telling/showing them the correct way to...

I wish I could make my Ritchie Tags look like that!  Mine are not near that neat, and without the "bling"!

Sad to say, but a "good" gelb looks alot like a good simmi.  Maybe a tad bit more leather up front, but the simmi's have that now. They are more feminine and maternal looking in my opinion than a simmi.

Are you thinking of the engravable tags from Ritchie? I just use a dremmel tool.

I sent you a PM.... by the way, both heifers were born in March!

Ok, I am going to be honest.... He seems way, way too straight in the back legs, he seems to be a bit forward in his shoulder, way too tight in the middle (no guts or heart girth) and seems slight in his muscle. That being said, I do think you are doing the best you can with him.... meaning he...

I don't like Levi... reminds me too much of the slime ball sperm donor that got a teen pregnant then left her, then came back, then got another pregnant and didn't tell anyone, then .....  oh never mind.... How about Swisher? He is a shortie and he was switched...

Just curious... and a question to all: Who do you trust when given "a white powder given to me by Fred".  Do you trust Fred? Do you trust people on the internet? Trust your vet? Trust a neighbor?

From the barn talk I have heard, it seems some "personalities"  in the shorties are ruining things....  I know personally I will never deal with certain people in the shortie breed (not little pups either), and I doubt if I spend any more money in the shortie breed.... wish I known then, what I...

True story:  A few years ago, I was showing at a winter show. The fella next to me was obviously pre-occupied with something else, as before we were going in the ring, he was like a flea on a dog. Anyway.... We walk in  the ring, and as he is fumbling with his stick, I noticed his zipper was...

Call me a skeptic, but I want to see receipts on what she "paid for" and what "I" paid for. I also want a head count on the "staff" and secret service that went along. I also want to know who paid for the plane... I pretty sure she didn't fly coach. I doubt she even flew first class. Her trip...
