Are you looking just for steer shows? If not then there are plenty of options.  If you are showing heifers, you can show at Ft Worth.

Really nice heifer, love her design on the profile, pretty/clean fronted, good bone, looks sound, long spined.  From what we can see here have to assume that she is just as nice viewed from front or back.  I know another really nice char heifer that she would look good standing next to.  Now to...

In my opinion yes the comb does more.  I pretty much just use a comb for fitting, at home all the work is done with a rice root.  In my opinion the rice root stimulates the hair follicle more, a stimulated hair follicle typically has better bloodflow, which generally leads to better and...

I believe the 10% is correct on chance she is fertile. But fertility testing(hormones) isnt always acurate, though it ussually is.  To my knowledge the problem with freemartins is underdeveloped repro tracts.  Ussually they are non existent, but in some cases they are just not developed...

Bodacious semen is rare, pretty much has to be bought in auctions, so it can get a lil pricey, couple grand a straw.  Not anywhere near the most expensive though because with his calves pretty much all you get is a name.  Most of them dont buck worth a flip, which shouldnt surprise anyone...

I guess it depends on the situation you are talking about? Are you talking about in a supreme drive situation or within the breed.  Yes it is characteristic for American cattle to have some leather, but there is still a point when they are to wastey even for an American.  Some breeds...

Congrats bud!! Glad I could be there and be part of it.  For everyone that asked about how she moves...She moves good, she took a few weird steps before the the show, but I think it is mostly needing her feet trimmed.  This heifer got sick a few weeks ago, bad, and still stood second in a very...

Congrats on your success!  I have bought 2 from chambers and would recomend him to anybody.  Without a doubt one of if not the best seller I have dealt with in my over 20 yrs in this industry.  Good cattle, raised right, priced right, and treats you fair!!!

Doesnt really matter how many he bred naturally.  They are still jumping to be collected, some of these bulls go to stud for months and some get collected every day or every other day. How many bulls do that naturally? Plus they dont just work for a breeding season, they are collected throughout...

I wasnt there, but just from pictures Sugar Rush is the one that I keep going back to.  I will agree with some former posts as well. 1) I agree that overall this was the most complete set top to bottom that has been there in a few years, but I also dont think there were any real standout bulls...

Traders want them unclipped, especially in situations where they have to bid, for 2 reasons.  1) They know just like I said and like Zane said, that a lot of people have a hard time seeing the potential in a calf when it is not cleaned up, thus there wont be as big of a bidding war and they can...

I dont necessarily like seeing them fully fitted, but I do like them clipped and clean when I go to see them.  Its just as hard to see through a fit job as it is to see through inches of shag.  You dont get any truer look at a calf unclipped as opposed to a simple clip job.  There is a big...

What scramble are you in? I think that committee needs to seriously reconsider how they run things.  The whole purpose of the scramble is to give kids a chance to either show, or be able to show a caliber of calf they might not otherwise be able to afford and to help the kids learn something...

If there is that much discrepancy in his stuff I really think you should let people know so that they dont get caught in a fraud, especially if it is an online sale.

Just to clarify I wasnt trying to say anything bad about the families.  I know the Drager's know their way around the fitting rack pretty well, Blissards arent to shabby themselves.  I realize those families were probably right there elbow deep in the preperation, but even the best often hire...

I see fitters in both of those pics of the champs that are not family of the kids showing.  Not trying to raise a stink, but just about every show in the nation says that fitting can only be done by family, ag teachers, or extension agents. I dont know of one show that actually enforces that...

She is a pretty good package.  I agree that I like her more in the feed trough photo than in the other 2.  I can definately see where Freddy looks at these photos and thinks she is a little tightly wound, looking at the photos I would worry about her covering her tracks. But I havent seen her...

The last post said exactly what was on my mind.  Yes part of what is driving Lautner to put these bulls in the line up is what the market wants.  But you also have to consider the fact that Lautner plays a very large roll in driving the market. Lautners are promotional geniuses, there are a few...

To show at majors in Texas you have to nose pring and DNA them, this had to be done over the summer for shows coming in the spring.  Its really no big deal.  I really cant see anyone having a barn full of the same clone, mainly because different judges are going to want different things in...

From the picture I would say his front 2/3 are really nice.  From the picture, I would have the same questions about the rear 1/3 but also completely agree that this could totally be from way he is set.
