I'm in the same dillemma you are.  Will be anxious to see what responses you get.  We have two four year old heifers, now wait before you start flaming us, Brahma's do not start cycling until at least 18 mos, some are two.  The heifers will be four this summer.  They've been in with the bull...

AWWWW!  Purdy darn cute Jason!  BTW-anybody need any great barn cats?  For some reason, we have had a new barn cat show up each  week for the last month.  My husband just knows the two barn cats that we have, have been standing on the high way holding up signs saying *please dump more cats off...

Those are all great pictures but the brahma's my favorite! ;)

I wondered if they were hotspots or not.  We had them a few years ago when one of our calves was sleeping in a stall with straw in it.  The vet said if it stays wet which it wasn't in a barn just under a lean to type of stall then it would do that.  We would put dry straw down and it would get...

Yup!  Kirk Stierwalt talks very highly of them.  He spoke about them when I went to that Purina Show seminar this summer.  he said they can be a lifesaver, literally!  He said they were like $60 or something, not real expensive.  Wow!  that is awesome about the girl in the wheelchair and the...

oh, I didn't take it as you were tryin to sell them!  I just wanted to see what the little buggers looked like!  ;D

shortdawg-take two tylenol and go to bed!!!!  You deserve it! 1,000 miles eeeeeek!

Way to go Cowz!  I feel the same way!  If my kid would rather wash pigs or ride his horse then that is one minute that i don't have to wonder where he's at or what he's doing because I know!  I would much rather haul him every weekend to a rodeo or showdeo then allow him to sit at home and play...

I'm glad this is you guys and not me!  I don't think I could keep up with all this stuff to do for them!  Our poor brahma's lay out in the full sun in July 110 degrees and lay there like it was 65!  They hate the cool or cold!  Matter of fact, they shiver at the fair in July when we hose them...

What did you guys do today on President's Day?  Now I didn't get it off because it was a holiday but because it was staff development day and that day isn't included in my contract, just so happens it fell on a holiday! (clapping)  Well, I made a ton of halters and goat collars this morning. ...

I think there is a fine line between defining "cheaters".  I think there are "cheaters" and then I think there are "envied".  I notice that at our fair.  Yes, we have the ones that always win but their parents own a feed store, they spend a ton of money on their animals, can afford to buy the...

Joe Boy, I know how you feel.  Every year we've had to scrounge to find hay and buy it as we've never had hay meadows, only crop ground.  This year when we bought our new place we had 30 acres that my father in law suggested planting oats and sowing lespedeza in afterwards.  Am I glad we did...

Here it is! Sad isn't it?  I hope no one else's looks this bad! ;D

Ok, it's Saturday night and I am bored.  Tired of doing laundry, dishes, leather working and watching TV so I am going to post some more pictures.  Here goes: Rotton Cotton 2006 market pig Mama Cow she's always in the camera lenses way especially with food all over her mouth. The Booger...

Yup!  It's called the little old ladies blue hair shampoo and it works great too!  Just got to be careful you get the right shade of blue!  Don't want to go too dark!  The kind we've used comes in a gray bottle with a pink lid.  You can get it at your beauty supply places.  It works GREAT on...

Just not being there.  That is what bothers me!  I couldn't buy anything off of one of those because for me, that's half of the excitement is being there!  It's almost like "home shopping network for cattle".  But I do enjoy watching them on RFD!  I like to see what everything brings.

It's sickening. It happens though, to each is their own!  We learned that lesson through market hogs.  Just as big of a game as any other market animal.  Very disheartening for kids when they "honestly" raise their livestock and lose to dishonesty.  I had to have that same talk to my 11 year old...

Just wondering what everyone does to get their cattle ready to take to the fairs when they've been on 160 acres with no balloons, bicycles, and tractor pulls? We used to live in town when we first started raising our brahma's.  We had our 80 acres but it was 10 miles north of our house and too...

We had  my son's show heifer last year get spooked by my husband and son walking behind the barn by their pen in camouflage.  They were going coyote hunting and it just totally upset that heifer.  She went through barbed wire 4 times before we got her calmed down plus it started to pour rain (go...
