Our daughter had the Red Brangus Breed Champion in the Junior Show...boy was that EXCITING!   Our son (first year) had a 5th place Maine heifer.  For those that may remember the "crazy gert heifer" postings...we ended shipping her and going to Kansas to a fellow steerplaneteer (Thanks Doc!) and...

Here are pics taken today (slick sheared).  Again, didn't have time to clean him up at all as we were getting heifers clipped and ready for Austin.  Can send more if you like, just pm me.  

Sent you a pm with info and number.

Located in Central Texas, NW of Austin.

We have a really good March 09 simbrah appearing steer (out of a Maine bull) that we've shown.  He was too little at Houston to do anything.  He weighs 1025 and shows great.  He's a black/baldie.   He was slicked for Houston, slick pictures taken last week posted below.   He's super sound too...

Try Monte Williams.  We've shown his heifers for a while now...has very good red angus and red brangus cattle.  He had the reserve champion red angus steer at Houston this year.  Did pretty well with red angus steers at SA last year too.  He's great to work with!  Tell him Morgan sent you his...

You might go to the following link and download the exhibitor handbook.  In the Junior Market Steer section there is a breakdown of the number of calves shown by breed, number of classes per breed, and number that sold in each breed for last year.  This would be a good starting point for...

You can run him AOB from the get go if you like.  Anything exotic or british that classes out, will also run AOB.  In Houston they classify on Tuesday, before the actual show starts. It isn't like San Antonio where they classify as you go in the ring to show.  We've run AOB before without...

We have used Full Tank daily for the last 3 years, used Beet Pulp prior to that.  Full Tank is a fabulous product and works great.  It is much easier to handle (not having to soak) and is very palatable to the calves.  It runs us about $17 per bag here (Central TX).  We feed about 2 pounds per...

I think the judge did a fairly good job.  Yes, we made the sale but also had one get the gate that had never placed less than 3rd all summer.  I think what I liked best about the judge  is every kid could go home and say they "showed" their calf.  Every calf in the class was looked at several...

If the cow is gentle and you can rinse the area...I can't imagine why a vet would tell you not to rinse it.  This is one of the most effective ways to encourage granulation and start the healing process.  We've rinsed (w/fairly good water pressure) open or deep wounds 2-3 times daily for 10-15...

Since they are young and 4-Hers often forget the very basics...discuss worming, alternating wormers, why it's important. Basic management that prevents illnesses...clean water, pens, etc.

I know in Texas there is a program in place that encourages recent grads to work in rural communities /large animal practices.  They will do a loan forgivness type deal  where each year you work in there, they forgive one year of your student loans.  It is modeled very much like the program in...

We do not always do it.  It depends on the cattle we are hauling.  With heifers it's great because they are bigger and heavier and this gives them a break with a little more cushion to bed down in.  Most of the barns only have the layer of bedding and then concrete underneath. The number one...

We feed 1/2 pound  (8oz) per head 2x daily.

We have fed it for last four years and wouldn't go without it.  We feed it in combination with the Progest 30 (daily probiotic) from the same company.  I think of it more as a vitamin/minieral supplement than a hair supplement---but it does seem to help with overall hair/skin condition.  We use...

Thank Matt for the contact info.  I talked with him a long time last night...what a nice man....and a great ambassador for the breed. 

Yes...on three seperate occasions.  I had to use a phone with a number he didn't know to get him to answer this past weekend....He always has some cryptic excuse for why he can't talk right then....and he'll get back to us which he never does.

Anyone have a really good heifer still in the barn/pasture they would like to get shown? Would like to trade for  a registered polled gert heifer --  to a NON SHOW home.  This heifer has a lot going for her but we don't have the pasture for a heifer that can't be in the barn as a show heifer...
