Please give me your honest opinion of these two steers good or bad. Pics not very good as they were taken from phone. Roan steer of course is a PB Shorthorn and black and white stocking foot is a Simmental. All opinions appreciated.

We may be dumb but what is a 3 way hay. We had a bad year for drought and it is very hard to find a good hay.

We have two steers that are very nice but we need some pointers on how to get them big. The one I have pictured in our Shorthorn steer. We also have a Simmental. The Shorthorn is very big framed. Any suggestion on how to get fat and drop the gut.

When you have them in a class with the same age calves and they stand a good four inches higher on hip I think there is something wrong. We have not had problems with covering tracks for the most part but we are always told that we are overpowered even though we are almost always just as think...

I would like to hear everyone's opinion about hip height in cattle. For the last two to three years any of the heifers we bought for our kids to show did not have enough hip height. The last heifer we purchased three years ago with hip height was a Heatseeker x Star Power. We like Simmi...

I would love to get people input on what you use for lights around groom chute. Currently we have about three or four clamp lights but it doesn't seem to be enough light and it is hard to position correctly. I have seen the big cord lights also but it seems that everyone has problems at tear...

We are trying to breed more Simmental into our herd. We would like to be able to use them as show stock if possible but more importantly we would like productive animals. What would you suggest for first time calfers that will not be throw always. Just for everyone's info I am not a big fan of...

Thanks!!!

Anyone know where you can find the results if the Dakota Classic sale? Looking for some good bred Simmi or Simmi Angus cattle and am trying to find out what they are going for on sales.

Don't know if I should post on this forum but we are looking to possibly lease a heifer for this years show season. We really like to show Simmental or percentage Simmental but would be open to look at other breeds. My children have been showing for many years and work very very hard and are out...

We had the coolbot up to two years ago and we were able to find a cheep walkin cooler off a Pizza Hut that went out of business. We had a very large air conditioner. Off the coolbot instructions if I remember right it was the largest air conditioner you could use. It worked wonderful for two...

Thinking about ordering our semen for this year and we have a Chopper x Texas Hold Em x Dream On heifer. We took a big gamble and bred her to Dream On again. We.believe from early ultra sound that she is due for a May 2 heifer calf. We would like to breed her Simmental again. Looking for...

I did many many sponsorships. Our local sale barn was really great and gave $500 but our community is primarily about sports and not big into ag so it is really hard. My kids play sports so I am not anti sports but it seems like most donations go to sporting events. Keep the suggestions coming...

I know I posted last year but I am looking for some new ideas to raise funds for an upcoming cattle show. I pounded the pavement for donations and had many generous donators but could have used more money. Is anyone know of any grants out there or any suggestions. I was actually thinking about a...

I know it is not in Wisconsin but in Austin,MN they have what called the Minnesota Jr Spring Classic. It is usually in April. If you search google you will find it. I am guessing you would not be more than four hours. Our county has an open show in July. We are about four hours from Ellsworth...

This is also a home raised heifer. We chose to bring over a purchased Simmi steer as MN only allows one animal for 4-h. She was third overall Foundation Simmi.

Looking for some top quality 1/2 blood Simmental steers.  Is there any opinions of who has the best in the country?

For everyone's questions answered she still moves pretty good. She could be a hair longer strided but she does not pop or anything. She is a Monopoly x Friction. We did have her bred but unfortunately at about 45 days she threw out the calf. She was bred to Mercedes Benz. We are going for the...

Have high hopes for her at our state fair. If you could see her back end you would know why. Just a little worried she is not tall enough and her neck is a little short. We have been trying to sweat off but it is what it is.

I know this is not a very good picture but please give me your opinion of this market heifer. Good or bad are appreciated.
