Agree with you 100%.  We have the power to make the decisions and they should be for the better of the cattle.  We were put on this earth to be caretakers of the beast of the land.  CAREtakers. Jamie

Wow triplets never even heard of it.  Ya TJ, we dont pull any of our commerical calves but we did pull one 90lbr out of a 1st calver this year.  She was mine and I about pasted out LOL.

My name is Jamie.  I am from Southern IL.  Both sides of my family have cattle.  My Dads Father has commercial simm influenced cattle and my moms dad and 2 brothers have reg. blk angus, reg. salers, and some commercial simms.  My dad, younger sister and I have about 60 head right now. 30 reg...

Yes, it is cheaper to buy hay.  We make all of our hay though in fact we had a better year than most and ended up saleing some. Jamie

wow that is crazy.  I dont know the most recent but a month ago it was 500/ton here. Jamie

It is odd seein calves with markings.  All of ours are solid red or black.  LOL Jamie

How much does it cost to send things to be tested to Champaign-Urbana? Jamie

Ya, I have seen that too.  It is really neat.  They just put the band at the base of the horn.  Wrap it in duct tape so it won't get rubbed off and in 30 days poof no horns.  LOL Jamie

Ya thanks to them lovely ;D tree huggers the poor horse folks are being punished.  No one can make a dollar anymore.  Is what my grandpa says and he was born in the aftermath of the depression. Jamie

TJ I believe you,  my uncle had a calf that weighed 32lbs. and without creep or being put in a feedlot before he was sold off his farm the calf weighed 540.  None too bad right? Jamie

I hope I have this picture thing right ???.  LOL  This is our Salers herd bull as a yearling. Jamie

stilllearning, Im from so IL. At the local salebarn the trader has went to trading cattle just to make ends meet with the horse business.  So you'd be very luck to get 500, but maybe 800 if its broke and that is pushing it. Jamie

Wow ya'all are make records. Never even heard of such birth weights.  Our biggest calf was probable 90lbs. since we have bought our Salers bull.  Before that maybe 95, but we hardly ever pull anything. Jamie

if you email sullivans they do have used blowers, but i am not sure about chutes jamie

Shorty, nice calves.  Good shape allready.  You are also very good with a camera.  Look like professional pictures. Jamie

I would peel them the hair will definitly come back before your June show.  We clip ours tight 3 to 4 weeks before the show to get the crispy and brown ends off the hair.  I am sure you'll be fine. Jamie

Personally I like pattys hair.  Its cute and curly.  And I know that is not good for showing. ;D

I would try everything everyone else has said, but if you have access to a mule or donkey hook them up.  Put a halter on the steer and a girt around the mules neck loose enough to where it can swivel on the mules neck.  Hook them together halter to neck with a strong rope that is about a foot...
