    What's Up with Iowa State Police??

    I guess I've been mistaken for 52 years. I could have sworn I lived in "THE LAND OF THE FREE". Not the "LAND OF THE D.O.T." Excuse my soapbox but I thought I could cross state lines and do business. Basically you're telling me to stay in my own neighborhood? There are several corporate farms...

    What's Up with Iowa State Police??

    Seems to me that if I buy a calf in Iowa next fall, he will be delivered to the Iowa state line by the seller or it will be a"no sale". If the right people get burned by that maybe changes will occur. And I thought Illinois was screwed up.....

    HOW BOUT THEM BRONCOS?

    From a life-long Steelers fan.... I HATE LOSING......but I have to admit he's a stud. Never quits- and always gets back up. Maybe we can pick him up when Big Ben retires. Guess I'll have to root for the Broncos at the Super Bowl.

    Donkey Breaking Harness

    The one I used was 2 cinches and a breast strap??? The cinches were small and connected by a nylon dog collar on each side .The breast strap hooked to the cinches. It sounds bad but it really worked well.

    Cell Phone Numbers Go Public

    As of 1\1\12 all cell numbers are no longer private. The National No - Call List prevents unwanted calls. That number is 888-382-1222 and follow the recorded directions. It's a legit number- I called yesterday and put my number on it.

    Club Calf bulls that work well on PB Angus cows?

    If they're smaller frame cows try a couple straws of Salty Dog. Three of the hairiest,stoutest caives I saw this fall were Salty's, I hear they want you to stick to a small frame b\c of his size.

    Stock Show University Complimentary Grad Program & Clipping Clinic Dec 28 - 29

    I took my son to it also, and I totally agree. John Sullivan and his crew did a great job on this program. I would recommend it to anyone and any level of experience. The top fitters in the business were there and willing to answer any question.

    Ringworm Question

    I've used several different things with no favorite. Most work well with persistence. You need to treat twice a day - everyday- until it's gone. Then use A&D ointment or something in that order to keep skin moist to help hair regrowth. Just remember - nothing works well while in the container.

    your farm history?

    I farm land that has been in my family for 6 generations. My grandfather bought "off" calves and hogs and fed them out for years. As the oldest grandson I was his "hired man " until he died . We bought calves  together with me providing the labor for half the profit. My dad had 70 comm. cows and...

    What makes a show a great show to attend?

    Some shows need to take pointers from Badger Kickoff.  The grounds and barns are nice- the people running it where all nice - the steer judge I thought was exceptional , he took time and sorted thru all the calves regardless of who tailed it into the ring- he let the smaller kids who where...

    Selling only one calf

    It's hard enough to raise kids these days. I'm sure Cowgirl94's parents are proud of her ,as they should be.  Sounds to me like she's thinking ahead  and planning her future.

    Selling only one calf

    Hey Cowgirl94 your heifer looks awesome, I don't care what they think in AAOK's little world. Don't listen to the people who try to make your dreams fit their reality. If you like the heifer- Breed her! If the calf looks good - put him on the Planet. Someone will like him well enough to buy him...
