A friend of mine is wanting some feedback regarding the bull Six Pack. Has anyone used him?  If so, what did the calves look like? Also, any pros and cons you saw would be great as well.

A new product/item we have added to our custom mix is working great on adding volume to our calves and they love to eat it, purina's pre-con.  It is a cube high in fiber. Our calves love it and if you want extra fill on your calf at the show because they wont eat, feed them straight pre-con.  We...

That is interesting to hear Ohio1 that we both had One and Only calves and both changed/improved dramatically over time.  Below is a pic of our One and Only steer that we are supposed to show at 2013 OYE.

I purchased a One and Only Steer this past spring, early spring. He was not quite 5 months old when we bought him. Some of the reasons why I bought him was he had a tremendous front end, lots of eye appeal and plenty of depth.  When this calf hit the 10 month mark, he transformed like no other...

We purchased a steer last fall out of One and Only.  If your heifer grows like ours steeer did, she will change a lot between the 7th and 9th month.  Our calf changed more than any calf we have ever had.  he just exploded during that time and transformed from a very eye catching calf to a...

Thanks for the comments. I didn't know if I could but wanted to try to give some encouragement to anyone that has been experiencing a tough time in the ring. I know it has helped me and my family when someone gave us some kind words.  I agree with you DLD, OYE is extremely tough and more...

I debated on posting this but I decided to in hopes this post gives those families/kids who have struggled in the ring some hope/motivation.   My family started showing calves back in the late 80's.  My brother, sister and I never anything on the district or state level despite all our hard...

According to the Tulsa Fair website, all livestock shows will be broadcast live.  The following site is supposed to be the site one can watch the show:  http://www.stockshowlive.com/

Powerful and Sound "I Am Legend" Heifer For Sal I am selling a very high quality show heifer sired by “I AM LEGEND”.  She won Breed Champion at the OKC State Fair on the 15th of September (show does not select a supreme heifer) .  The heifer (Legendairy Lady) is a registered ChiMaine and is out...

I might be very helpful regarding your question, but we have a steer out of One and Only that is very nice.  He probably has the most muscle of any calf my kids have shown.  Another strong feature is he has an extremely clean front end.  Not sure if these characteristics came from sire or dam...

Thanks LHB Farms and rackranch for the kind words.  We really like them.  The QDog heifer has changed so much since the day we picked her up/bought her.  What caught our eye was her front end and squareness of her hip.  We can't wait for our next show, in a three weeks, Tulsa State Fair.  I know...

Well all my family's hard work over the summer months paid off this weekend.  My son and daughter both showed their heifers at the OKC state fair Saturday and both won Breed Champion (judged by Jim Bloomberg).  Unfortunately, they don't have a supreme champion at the show, so we don't know how...

I just started feeding a supplement called Cetyl- M.  They make one that is approved for cattle/livestock, bucking stock, horses, humans, dogs, etc.  The horse industry swears by the stuff.  I watched some videos of animals before and after being fed the stuff.  Pretty amazing results.  There...

You have to have at least one SEC team.  LSU and Alabama are the obvious picks but I think Arkansas and Georgia have a schedule that sets up well for one of them to surpise people this year.  Arkansas plays LSU and Alabama in Arkansas this year.  Georgia doesn't have to play LSU or Alabama until...

Every morning and evening my calves are attacked by horse flies.  My bronco fly spray does not keep them off.  Does anyone know how to get rid of them or keep them off my calves?

vc, thanks for picture.  I have always thought that type of brush would pull out the hair, I guess I was wrong. 

Interesting comment sackshowcattle.  I will admit I have never been happy with how the leg hair on my cattle looked.  Just have never been able to make them fluffy with out glue.  I will start having my kids use the brush on the calves legs more.  What type of material should the brush have? The...

I wanted to bring this topic up because when I showed cattle back in the 90's, I combed my calves often and used a blower a lot.  During the winter months and once we got a cooler, my calves had great hair. Just wanted to see what all the hubbub was about using a brush since I never really used...

First let me say this is a serious question (some might consider it dumb) but it popped up due to so many people asking about growing hair on their show calves (I was one of them).   I understand people use brushes to train their show calves hair but what is the big deal with using brushes...

I attached some pictures of the QDog heifer.  The first two is when she was 6 months old (before and after being trimmed up) and the last one is when she was 10 months old.  As you can see she was hairy.  She has such small amount of hair, I am unable to train it.
