We are not blessed with an indoor heated wash area, so we aren't able to rinse much in the cold weather, I'm looking for advice on hair care:  what to spray in, how often, options, mixing and matching  ect.  An advice will be appreciated, we have a nice steer that we will be jackpoting this year...

Whoa here fella, we have had exceptionally good luck by letting calves drag halters, we generally do this for 7-10 days before we even think about tieing the calves up, You really shouldn't make a blanket statement like that because what works for you may not work for me, not to be rude but who...

We as a nation need to let our new president have a chance to fix things,  John McCain is agood man just in the wrong place at the very wrong time, he patiently waited his turn only to find that Bush was so hated and has poisoned the water hole that John really had no chance, it is a testimate...

I also agree that quality is much more  important than quanity, but what really drives me nuts is watching lesser animals from a farm with a big name still get a big price,  mainly because of the name on the paper.  I've seen calves that were great individuals but from a "nobody" just get...

So sorry to hear about your situation, but you can get through this!!  Medicine today is amazing, last January my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, had the opperation, and has gone through the chemo, her last mri came back clean, her weekly blood work is also clean.  Do what the doctors...

My wife and watched the debate last night  and we were shocked by McCain's comments on ethanol,  He clearly stated he would eliminate the ethanol subsidy which is bad enough but then took it a big step futher by stating he would remove the tarriffs on Brazilian ethanol and welcome it into our...

Good luck with your calves, when we start working with our show cattle we try do it in a step by step process.  1st we put on halters and let them dram them for 10-14 days,  after that we start getting in the pen with them walk amongst them and step on the halters to stop them and just stand...

The meanest calf we ever had was a heatwave steer who at last years fair weigh in just lost his mind, literally, I think it just fell out on the ground as he was trying to jump or trash every gate and person with in the whole area code, he was so wound up that we never took him back home...

Wow, I don't know here to start Please don't lump me in with the anti-god bunch  your beliefs and opinion have the same value as mine!!!  Just because my concerns and feelings aren't the same as yours I feel that you are very much out of line in suggesting that if I don't agree with you I'm anti...

I don't know whether he cares about ag and whether can fix all of the problems I listed but we need to remember to see the warts that come with every candidate and I think that my list is accurate of what warts could come with McCain. I was to Arlington last summer on a funeral day and it made a...

I agree with the belt buckles, as they a great bragging sign, I would also suggest to have a pro photographer at the show to take take great pics and then get the pic for each winner framed and send to the family for a great keepsake

Before we all get too giddy over McCain-Palin lets remember what we will get with them 1.   More flag draped caskets arriving back in America to heart broken families 2.  Fewer jobs as our economy crumbles under the weight of a weak dollar, and recession,  even the flags on the caskets are now...

I can relate 2 experiences we have had, 1 good and 1 very bad,  several years ago I purchased 2 bred shorthorn cows 4-5 yrs old, when they calved out , one of the cows immediately started loosing weight with severe diarehha, ran blood tests for Johnes and was found to be positive, I called where...

Just a quick note of many,many thanks to Cathy (Red) and Mark.  My daughter and I showed at VW county feeder calf show this past sat, we came in second in class with our sunseeker calf to eventual reserve champion, 2nd time in 2 shows being 2nd to reserve.  We planned on going to Richwood show...

Just a note, the top 2 calves are born in march, the bottom 2 are born in may so thats why they are greener the the top 2

Finally got some time to take some pictures of our calves last night, had a heck of a time to get calves to stand still and look pretty, they wanted to lick me and the camera instead of posing. 1st pic  sunseeker x commercial sim Angus cow  we showed at county fair as beef feeder, was in final...

We had a show heifer that developed warts in her ears about 1 month after we tattooed her, we tried the vaccine, and pulling them off, however the heifer really hated me for a while, and even after all the they grew back, so we pulled as many off with pliers as possible and stuffed as many as...

The first thing i noticed is that your heifer looks like it has more set to the rear legs than I like, it also look a little pinched in the heart girth especially behind the elbow, depthof body and rib looks good, however front end in this pic looks a little coarse.  Somtimes profile pics don't...
