I dont know, the whole situation seems fishy to me.  He had you pick the calf up and then bring it back? As Chambero said, any procedures like that which I was going to take responsibility for would have been done and the calf over them and doing well before I ever allowed you to pick him up the...

How long have you been trying to halter break this heifer and how often are you working with her?  It honestly sounds like any older calf that is being halter broke.  Almost all of them jump around a bit until they get used to being tied, movement around them tends to increase the jumpiness...

I have seen all 3 judge and I personally think all 3 are good judges.  I tend to agree that with Griner and Hoge after the first couple of classes of the day, you can probably pretty much tell where you are going to place, they are easy to follow because they tend to pick a more uniform type and...

I am going to be traveling through South AR on Friday on my was from NW Louisiana to Malvern, AR.  Anyone in that area or along the way have any Fallborn Steers or Heifer Prospects of any age to stop and look at? Got one place lined up to look at when I get to where I am going on Friday evening...

Bodemeister was the horse that led the entire race until he got passed by I'll have another in the stretch.  In Thoroughbred Racing you have 2 types of horses.  The sprinters/short distance horses and the distance horses often refered to as the milers.  Bodemeister was trained by Bob Baffert and...

Definately double muscling there, and its not a good thing. As was said earlier she will get even tighter as she gets older and will not be able to walk.  Double muscled cattle also often cant calve on their own.  So I would be shipping her as quick as possible.  There was a roan heifer in the...

So this is just for fun, its Kentucky Derby Day.  Anybody on here follow the ponies?  If so who are your picks this afternoon? Personally, I agree with most of the handicappers, I think Union Rags is the horse to beat.  After him I kindal like Hansen to get a piece of it, and as far as a 3rd...

I think for a long time the judges were using those heifers that were to terminal in a lot of our opinions because of the general train of thought that they will definately produce a competitive steer.  And they arent so wrong on that thought, some of the best steer producing cows out there look...

Sorry my mistake, I had been awake for work for about 24 hours when typing that, I meant 2013. My apologies!

I dont know...in my opinion an ideal aged steer to finish out right without haveing to be pushed hard and not having to worry to much about getting stale on you should just be starting to hit the ground. So 2014 Denver calves are probably not for sale yet.  I know some people show them a little...

You need like a 2011 late spring or summer born calf.  A lot of these calves have already been sold.  Watch all the sale sites because you occasionally see one pop up in the sales that are going on.

I have never used the 5 day, though I have seriously considered it on some show heifers.  In research studies, the 5-Day has a slightly higher conception rate, in my opinion the advantage is pretty insignificant though. So for me I just call it pretty straight up, and as you said the 5-Day...

I am not gonna argue, your opinion is your opinion.  And I am not saying that the original post was rumor mill, it was fact, they copied Gonnets blog post.  But it turned into it after that.  People out there acting like Lautner has never done anything like this, sorry but they would be...

I dont think they are coloring those bulls much when fitting.  A lot of it is as was already stated, regardless if colored or not, or what natural color, vibrance and tone of color is much different in one that is freshly washed and clipped on and fit, versus one that is just standing there. ...

I dont think sand hurts at all.  We have sand in our pens right now for the reason that we find it dries out pretty quick, and doesnt get nasty like shavings can.  We just put lime out on it once a week or so and our pens are staying in good shape.  I dont think sand hurts the hair at all, you...

The thing I dont get.  Why do we see so many of these nagging little dramatic posts on here lately.  Do people really not have anything better to do?  I mean I feel like I am in Jr High all over again here.  Steerplanet is a great forum to share information, get input, sell stuff, meet folks in...

I am not sure what your talking about by coloring them up?  Its genetics, Charolais dont carry a true white gene, they carry a diluter gene.  The diluter gene is codominant, so it will dilute whatever color gene is present.  Thus you get smokey or grey when you cross a Char and an Angus.  The...

I grew up in Louisiana.  At our State Fair the number of animals making the sale was based on a % system, though I forget what the actual % was.  But basically a certain # of the animals entered in Market shows made the sale, so you had to place in that top percent of your class to make the...

I agree on the Tasco, it is not a hormone or anything even naturally found in cattle to my knowledge, but what it does is work to lower the calf's core body temperature.  By keeping the core temp lower you keep the animal more comfortable which, while it wont necessarily cause hair to grow...

I think you have the right idea...I like the misters on the timers...I have never had respiratory issues from the humidity, but misters running constantly can sure make a mess out of a barn.  To keep my mister nozzles from clogging I just take the nozzles out every night and soak them in...
