Dont worry Bart, he is close to me and my roommate has his kids at that contest.  All is clear here at the moment.  Got some rain earlier today but the sun is shining at the moment.  Supposed to be moving back in later today.  Wish I would have known he was going to that contest I would have...

I have never heard these kind of problems with these bulls.  Yeah they throw big calves and that can cause issues, but if the calf comes out ok and the cows are ok you are generally good.  What are the pedigrees on the cows?  Anything different this year from last year for the cows?  How bad...

I dont know what kinda cow he was out of, but I used a really nice Ragin Cajun calf to win a show in Louisiana back in October.

I think it depends on what makes you say she looks like ****, if she is is just not pretty designed, or maybe isnt powerful or something like that.  Then I would probably keep her and give her a chance. Especially if she is something special pedigree wise.  However if they are poor structured...

I dont have any pictures nor do I have any calves.  From what I can read pedigree and EPD wise, Buddy Love is probably going to throw them pretty big.  Monopoly 2 is a Monopoly clone, so you have probably seen tons of pics of calves out of him, they probably just said they were Monopolies.  I...

I also dont see the 2nd round bracket

I see the point of what yall are saying.  I kind of dislike the ones that on every lot they sale they retain the right to one flush at the owners convenience.  I understand that if your raising show cattle and are breeding for them to calve at the same time every year, then generally the flush...

Hairy ears generally is a sign that they are going to be good haired.  I dont think he should have used one over the other because of that.  Docking one on the fit job is tricky, if he truly docked the calf because of the fit job, then I dont disagree, if he just mentioned the fit job in his...

I am gonna guess colored very similarly to the cow.  From what I have seen Carpe Diem colors them a lot like their mothers.  But with her being red and having some white he might throw one that looks Hereford.

Congrats, very nice steer there. You got any for sale?

Heifers have to have papers to show in Texas. There are no commercial heifer classes here. The only exception would be some jackpots havin a class for American Breed Crosses.  I have yet to understand why they make a class for ABC heifers and not for other commercial heifers, but that is the way...

Well if they showed up with a blue roan with Durham papers and were allowed to show as such then that would raise a whole new set of issues...regardless, just as with the Pluses, the Durhams dont currently have their own breed class in Texas.  Actually I am not aware of anywhere that they do but...

The problem with this is all the cattle with Shorthorn Plus papers need to be classed together.  Since the majority of the Shorthorn pluses in the showring are Maine or Chi influenced they need to be in the Exotics.  The other issue with it is Shorthorn Pluses dont have a breed class, they dont...

As knabe stated, you have to decide what you want to do with an Animal Science degree, then look at the school and decide if they have a good program for what you want to do.  Animal Science is a very broad program.  There are a lot of schools out there with very good Animal Science program's...

I have to find my recipe, but I will get it to you? I just moved so everything is lost in transition, lol. I think its 300 lbs but dont quote me on that.  But thats in our show feed, its very little in the creep. Its very similar to many other recipes, mostly ground corn, oats, cotton seed hull...

It could be a mistake on the behalf of whoever put the catalog together.  Or if they didnt have a picture its not uncommon for them to put a pic of offspring.  However, since he is a Clone I dont see why they wouldnt just put a pic of Who himself there.  So I am gonna take a shot and the dark...

We faced this at a couple jackpots last yr.  A family showing a Plus steer.  When they would go to Jackpots that just classed American, British, Exotic, they always put him in the British.  At the first such show the guy at the scale actually did the right thing and wrote down Exotic, the childs...

We have our show feed mixed, the guy mixing it was already mixing a ration for some people that were feeding their own replacements and such.  The ration is very similar to our show ration just a little less hot and doesnt have as much cotton seed hull in it. We decided to use that in the creep...

In Texas steers do not have to be purebred to get into a breed class.  The classification sets out a set of physical characteristics for each breed and the animal has to meet those characteristics.  So yes to class Char a steer pretty much just has to look like a Char, but can be crossbred or...
