I would like some suggestions on what to breed two cows to.  We are looking for something clubby or Maine influenced but do not like Rocky Balboa or Jesse James and would like to stay away from line breeding.  The cows are as follows: Ali x Final Answer - She will be on her third calf Ali x BC...

Thanks have been told they actually can be a little too extreme.  Our market heifer last state fair was not as extreme and she was third overall and we are hoping for a step or two better.  She actually moves quite nicely for being so muscled.  The pic does not do her justice.  I am questioning...

We recently found out that our county could no longer do savings bonds for awards and we are looking for suggestions of what to do.  We also do trophy's and medallions.  What are some other awards that have been used.  Any ideas appreciated.

Would love some opinions of this market heifer.  Please be honest.  We are worried that she may be a bit too extreme.  She is a Monopoly x Friction.  We are trying to get a little more growth on her so we have only been feeding an 18% ration and plan to put back on show feed around March 1.  She...

Just got back from Denver and wondering if anyone checked out Iroq.  He was an I80 son.  Not my favorite but I would imagine he would give a lot of calving ease for heifers.  What is everyones thought on him.

No just really extreme.  I am hoping to have a pic tommorrow.  She may not be the cleanest as it has been quite cold the last few days in West Central Minnesota and we do not have an indoor wash rack.  I think she looks good but like I said she is very extreme and we have very very good money...

Is there ever a time when a market heifer could be too extreme?  We have a Monopoly x Friction market heifer purchased out of WI.  She is beyond extreme and is bigger (muscled) than a lot of steers that have a target date of late August.  She is not very tall but her back end is just huge, as...

We have fed it in the past and feel it helps drop their gut and helps there flank drop.  We also feel it helps with depth of body.

We are from West Central Minnesota and wanting to know when we should start using Grow and Shine on our market animals.  Our target date is Minnesota State Fair in late August but we also attend a few open shows starting in late June and our county fair is late July.  We have a Monopoly Market...

There is Who Made Who in both bloodlines.  The heifer is a Rocky Balboa x Manchild.  We have watched a couple videos and this is clearly what she has.  It makes me sick but we are going to try to help out with some research by collecting some blood if we can.

Thanks for the info! My daughter looked it up, and it fits her symptoms to the tee. Are you a Vet or have you had expierence with this. I was wondering becuase of all the vets that we have had look at her, none of them have been able to diagnose it.

We have a Feb 2011 heifer that has had problems standing on her legs since about late June of this year and is progressively getting worse.  She was a show heifer until we gave up on her in late July 2012.  She actually was Reserve Champ Maine heifer as just a little calf in October 2011 at...

If you can semen from Angus bull BC Lookout. I think that would be awesome but he is hard to get a hold of.  Genex had him not to long ago so you could check with them.  A couple simmental options that could give some style would be Dream Catcher, Ebonys Grand Master, or K-Lers Make It Rain.

I know this is probably not the right place to post this question, but I am looking for ideas for senior pics with cattle.  Does anyone know of a photographer that has taken senior pics with livestock or some ideas.  Any comments appreciated.

Very nice!  What is her pedigree?

I would like everyones opinion on when the best time to go to Denver would be.  We are remotely into Simmental cattle and definately want to see the bulls on display.  We have never been to the stock show before and are thinking about taking cattle out there in 2014 so we wanted to attend just...

Some of you are complaining about the cost to feed your cattle.  We are from West Central, MN and we have not had a good rain since 4th of July.  We are extremely dry!!! Amazingly enough our corn crop is pretty good and we do not run irrigation.  We run about 100 cow calf pairs and we were going...

Just wondering if anyone out there has ever tried fancifull hair dye.  It is available at Walmart and does not require rinsing.  We normally use the $2.99 a box revlon with no ammonia and mix with half kleen sheen which really works well but we have snow in the forecast in West Central, MN and...

South Dakota State University.  Great ag program.  People are great and make you feel right at home.

Will possibly be looking for some transportation for a calf from Ohio to Minnesota or somewhere near.  Would consider South Dakota or northern Iowa.
