Holy shyt!  :o

Thanks for the kind words! We love him to death and if all the goats should have to go for whatever reason, he would be kept as my pet! We call him the One-Nut-Wonder! He lost a testicle to trauma at about 8 months (playfighting and another buckling's horn sliced open the scrotum, one was too...

I honestly would probably not pay more than $300 or $400 for that buck based on the info and picture provided alone. He has mass, but its hard to really judge him from that photo. I would want to see his front end clipped off and pics that show his leg structure. In Boers, leg structure is a...

The MN Beef Expo is in a couple of weeks and they usually have one of the Sullivan's stock show university clinics, as well as many other educational events. Here's the link to their site- http://www.mnbeefexpo.com/. Overall, it is a good show to take the next step up and out from county fair-...

We've done it both with and without Kleen Sheen. It really depends on condition of the animal's hair. The Kleen Sheen does stretch the dye, so you do not have to use as much, but if the animal is really bleached out, you may want to use less or no Kleen Sheen. If you decide to go without Kleen...

I just spoke with someone who viewed those calves in the last couple of days, and they said that lot 55 is the real deal. He was my pick too, reminds me of the steer that won Ohio State Fair. He will be an interesting one to follow on the show circuit in the next 10 or 12 months.

He's a March  BIM and out of Sally (I am assuming this is  HF Mustang Sally, a Firewater daughter on the donor page). You have to cross-reference the lots with their info sheets listed toward the top of the page on the cattle for sale page!

He also did showmanship! I love the look on his face when he is talking to the judge about his calf- Priceless!!

My nephew loves cattle and has spent the last year tagging along to shows and "helping" brush, blow and lead calves. Last weekend, he got some time in the ring too at a small local event called Kids and Cows. It is aimed at involving very young and non-ag kids with cattle in a highly chaperoned...

Very Carefully! ;) Seriously though, we are talking about it all year long! We have smaller herds, so each mating is so important, wether it is an AI or natural service. When it gets close to breeding season (2 or 3 months out), we put out clip boards with each female's info on it, and everyone...

We have several quarry pits within miles of our farms, so one of our trucks just brings home a load every two weeks or so (having a trucking company in the family helps!). Yes, you do need to be aware that it will dry out knees and hocks, but we just work in some conditioner on their joints ...

Agreed! Judging market steers means you walk a fine line between what it a steer should be and how he represents the herd he came from. My sister's steer (monopoly X Char)  last year caused quite a commotion at our county for this reason. The judge placed him at the middle of his class for being...

Both are useful for different areas and for different hair types. You almost have to try both when you are starting out to see which will work best for what you are doing. They are relatively inexpensive so I think they are well worth the investment. It takes some practice to handle it, but a...

We use washed lime screenings. There is no dust and the bulls can play a bit without making a huge mess!

Try the one with synthetic bristles. We use it with wave tamer to combat the crazy hair our limis sometimes have!

I agree that there are parts about this bull that a desirable, but I would really be curious what he looks like in his "working clothes". I don't doubt he is deep, but with his Denver condition on, it is pretty hard to judge what his middle and front look like every other week of the year. He is...

I agree that these two traits don't often come in the same package. I would rather have an animal that is a little wastey on the front and has a deeper and wider heart girth than a super trim front end with a pinched heart girth. Some of our best doing and producing females have some extra mass...

Works great! We have had a wet summer here in NW Wisconsin, so the flies have been biting here too and we are using it on the horses, cattle, goats and even sometimes the cattle dogs!

We use a product called frost shield. It is blue goop that comes in a big tub. It works great to heal the scabs and deter the flies as it has aloe and menthol in it, in addition to the lanolin. We started using it a few winters ago on our bulls. Despite being well bedded, the overnight temp it...
