Its really hard to tell anything from those pics.  She looks like a good complete heifer, good bone, pretty sound etc.  She could be bigger middled but the feeding could have a lot to do with that.  It looks like she may get a little steep hooks to pins, but at the same time could just be the...

Hey and other coarse fiber products like beat pulp, take longer to break down in their gut, so it helps to keep them looking full.  The microbial break down of the fibers also releases a lot of gas in the stomach which will help to expand his stomach and should give him more depth  in the...

I dont think the school itself should have been punished.  I think those in charge that swept things under the rug should have been punished, but not the school itself.  All this did in my opinion was create more victims.  Is it fair to all those players who worked their rear ends off to win...

Where and When are you showing? I would really start working that hair really good with a rice root brush, rinse a couple times a day, make sure you are conditioning his hair.  I know the sun will fade a black one, but from that pic it really looks like there is a lot of dead hair in there that...

I have never personally seen a JPJ calf be much more than the low to mid 70's...I have heard some bigger ones, but the heifers and cows throwing those bigger calves were giants themselves with pedigrees full of monsters. But like was said, they are all shaped right to come easy and I have never...

Self feeders are ok up to about 100 lbs or so in my opinion, after that, the pig needs to be hand fed in my opinion.  Just like with cattle, if feed is left in front of them all the time they dont eat as much.  With any animal the ideal situation is to evaluate the animal and try to decided what...

Like was said earlier, I hadnt heard about Monopoly or Tiger Woods being put down, but I knew Monopoly hadnt been producing.  So yes original Monopoly semen is about to sky rocket more than it already had.  I also figured the end was coming for Monopoly because they have been pushing Monopoly 2...

You want to fix our country's issues? Step 1 is to do away with career politicians.  Our legislative system was not set up or intended for people to make their career out of it.  It was intended for people just like you and me to get elected to go and vote on our neighbors behalf when it came to...

Like everyone said, it depends on where you show and what their rules are.  If your show has an AOB class then I think that is where she would end up.  I have seen very few shows that would let her show with the Shorties.  Most shows still require heifers to be 100% Short to go in the Shorthorn...

I hope you realize he was being facetious.  No one can guarantee that outcome no matter how perfect the circumstance.  Yes I80 has clicked really well with some HW females, at the same time some havent worked as well.  The big factor to consider here is what is the Maine influence in your cow...

My advice, this is not meant to be a bully, just trying to help.  I dont always have perfect grammar or spelling on here.  Sometimes it is an honest typo.  Sometimes I am tired.  Sometimes I am just in a hurry and not paying attention.  However, even though I am not always succesful, I always...

A couple things I would warn you on there in your search.  First decide what is more important to you, the open jackpot shows or the county show where you want your steer to finish.  Steers that look finished when they are younger and smaller often dont grow off as well and tend to not do as...

If you are trying to get Matt to buy one or help sell one then there are a couple of things that MUST be.  MUST be good and MUST be out of one of his bulls generally.  It also really really helps if you bought the semen directly from him and not through one of the other owners or a distributor. 

It is hard to say.  I liked the Ft Worth calf this year, Faber's '08 Iowa steer was a beast.  There have been several I have seen that I cant remember exactly where they were, but those are a few that stood out to me!

Congrats to a very deserving, hardworking family! I wasnt at the BBB(darn work), but I saw the calf a few months back when we went to pick up a steer, and I was very impressed with him.  It's nice to see the little guys get a piece of it every now and then!

Can I ask why you are so concerned with what Matt Lautner likes in one?

Tallcool hit the nail on the head there! To be honest I dont see a ton of people marketing steers in the $20,000 range.  Honestly most of the people that have a steer that is truly of that caliber are going to put him in a sale and let the big spenders fight it out over him, they ussually end up...

Well I am fairly certain that Matt doesnt judge any shows, so it would be pretty difficult for anyone to say what he is like from that aspect.  When it comes to steers, unless it is a prospect show, I have never seen a judge that didnt want one finished.  But when it comes to what type and kind...

Is he judging a show your going to? I didnt think he judged any shows?

I wouldnt hold him this close regardless, I would probably shrink him if he is small framed, but your to close to show day to be holding one.  At this point if you started holding now you wouldnt see much result from it for one thing, and he would also probably look stale on show day.  I wouldnt...
