I don't mean this as a slap in the face to your new cows......'cause they're sure nice enough......BUT, how about buying some proven(affordable) embryo matings, and try them out as recips...since you really don't know how they're going to breed or which bull to breed them to anyway....and even...

Good Idea......THANKS.

I agree and appreciate this post..... I think the smoke is clearing and the picture is becoming LESS CONFUSING.  YOU are exactly RIGHT in EVERYTHING you said.   I put the idea "WAY OUT THERE" on purpose, and YES, it DEFINITELY NEEDS TWEEKED.....BUT, the part that we cannot forget is that it...

I thought it was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!  When I put my final sort of Champions together on one side of the ring.....EVERYONE had to appreciate the quality of those cattle. Even better yet.....what an AWESOME set of kids and families!!!  I really APPRECIATED the opportunity!

Sorry DL.....I was afraid from your first post that you took that wrong......I wasn't TELLING YOU TO USE YOUR BRAIN......I was PLEADING WITH THE PEOPLE to BRAINSTORM in a POSITIVE manner to come up with as MANY DIFFERENT IDEAS as we could to REFUEL the INTEREST in OUR INDUSTRY, and maybe give me...

We both had 4 out of the top 5 the same....I went Crossbred, Shorthorn of Burkes from Kolterman, Maraonde Low Maine I think....4th was the Chi and 5th was the low Simme. Travis went Maronde, Crossbred, Shorthorn, Chi and Shorthorn Plus.

Go to ebay or amazon and buy the old Photoshop 2....simple, cheap and all you'll probably need.

We both used the same Grand and Reserve Steers.....Grand was Brady Jensen's crossbred and Reserve was his sister's Maine.  We both used our Res. Crossbred steers for third.....but they were different.....I used a Mitten Man owned by Ochs(sp?) and Travis used a spotted steer of Burkes.  We both...

You're gettin' WARMER........

Yes.....this past weekend at the KSU Kick-off in Huthcinson.....they called me last week after a judge had to cancel on them.

EXACTLY!!!!.......

Also for the Division 2 side (for lack of a better name, which you might actually need) .....make the scoring or judging based, say 50% on calf and 50% on presentation and showmanship..... Let the big boys go ahead and play their game.....UNINTERRUPTED....but put a carrot at the end of the...

Can't tell you just yet, because we're getting too many GREAT IDEAS brought out to stop......'cause when I tell you mine, it's DRASTICALLY going to NARROW the scope. RA Drover has came the closest to what I'm thinking......and the key word is GOOFY!  Why?  Because kids like to be goofy.  This...
