    We have had 2 Star Power calves in the past 2 wks, both on 1st calf heifers with GREAT results, 1st calf was 68# heifer born unassisted, up and nursing quickly with lots of vigor, 2nd calf was a 80# bull calf born unassisted from a 1st calf heifer up and nursing very quickly (less than 1 hr...

    shorthorn buyers and breeders beware!

    I also have gone through a problem with a breeder who  sold us a show heifer and when she would not breed, he basically laughed at me and told it was my tough luck.  I tried twice to get him to do something, anything, but he totally refused and wouldn't even respond.  He was at the time selling...

    Vacation

    I have a couple of ideas but first of all it is in the official "good" parent handbook that "thou shalt take thy children to disney"  i know that because my wife pointed that out to me several years ago when we made the mouse pilgrimage.  Secondly you said that sitting on the beach is "what...

    OH-IO

    come on now, did you watch the game Monday?  Ohio state was bigger/stronger to the tune of over 200 yds rushing, they scored enough to win the game after falling behind in the 3rd quarter, unfortunately they left too much time on the clock.  Congrats to Texas for winning a great game between 2...

    Liveauction.tv

    I am also upset with the new fees, it seems to me that the cost of having a sale should borne by the sale manager and sellers not the buyers and bidders.  This scheme is nothing more than a new flip on the disgusting practice of buyer premiums that have become the norm in farm auctions in our...

    tension on the farm

    Well I'm speaking from the other side of the fence,(I can be a grumpy bear this time of year) sometimes its best to stay out of the way of the grumpy bear, greet him with a genuine smile and ask if there is anything you can do,  when he growls and grumbles remember he isn't mad at you, but he is...

    What's the weirdest thing you've heard a judge say?

    Just last week at the Columbus show, as my daughter led her steer out of line to hear the judges reasons for her placing, with the judge looking clearly at her calf proclaimed "the next calf, the red baldie..."  My daughter calf is solid red, not a spot of white on his head anywhere, my daughter...

    WANTED: A cheap place to buy metal barn siding in southern ohio

    I have gotten siding/roofing sheets from carter lumber in the past. i would ask for the "cover sheets" they were usually about 1/2 price of new,  sometimes they had dents, scratches ect but they did their job, you might want to call around to area carter yard and ask for cover sheets good luck

    STEERPLANET PRIVATE TREATY SALE?

    I would suggest that instead of pics being used for the sifting process, videos would be abetter way to go as a more 3 dimensional view, also the videos then could be used as part of the advertizement. I like the east and west sale ideas  who knows where gas prices will be a year from now

    Lima Show

    I tend to agree with OHbreeder, it seems like there is some "fudging" going on especially when you see a class of 6 heifers, 3 of which are seemingly normal in size and then 3 monsters  Also to get to 900 with an april calf do the math  calf born @ 100lbs(not a calving ease sire) then go 240...

    Big thanks to ShowmanQ

    We were at Lima this past weekend and had ShowmanQ fit up our calves, we roughed the calves out at home and he did the fitting, I got to hold the tail.  Quinton did a great job, very thorough and professional, he was great to work with and in Ebay lingo he rated 5 stars, we will hire him again...

    Alias Calves

    Choose your heifer carefully, I've seen too many criples out of alias in the past 2 years, they may have lots of rear end, but if they can't walk up front they aren't much good.  Good luck

    opinions on these heifers

    2 very nice heifers in different ways, I like the first heifer probably the most due to her thickness and power, however I would like to see a little more set to her rear legs, they are too straight for me, she is the better of the 2 for jackpot shows but also looks more terminal to me as...
