Thanks for replying Mark Tenenbaum and showemall.  I have received some advice from a few people that have seen her and they recommend me changing my feed to something with more fat.  They say I need to get her fat in order for her to compete at a high level.  I am feeding her Purina fitters...

Here are a couple more photos.

I posted pictures of my daughters heifer last week after she was trimmed up for the first time.  Well, I wanted to post pictures of my daughter with the calf at their first show. We went to the show early Saturday morning.  My daughter had a blast and as soon as she walked out of the ring, she...

The heifer is almost 7 months old.  The one thing I like about this heifer is that she is an eater.  When we bought her my brother bought a heifer two months older and it out weighed her by almost 150 lbs.  Now they are only 90 lbs apart.  The people that have seen her in person say she is still...

I will be glad to keep you all informed.  The show we are going to this weekend is being Judged by Kirt Stierwalt. I am confident we will get some reliable feedback since he is the judge. Hopefully the calf will act good for my daughter since they both will be nervous.

A couple months back I debated on this site whether or not I should buy a heifer sired by Q-Dog.  Well we decided to buy her and she was clipped up for the first time last night to get ready for her first show.  It will be my daughters first show as well.  I can't wait to see my daughter show...

Saw some amazing fall born heifers out of Smoke and Mirrors this past weekend out at KBar.  My dad is sold on the bull now that he has seen what he can do.

I need to buy a used aluminum chute from someone in Oklahoma.  Please call 405-760-6515.

DL, my son enjoys showing her.  She is great  because anyone can show her.  My daughter (starts showing next month) actually cried when we came back from the show because I didn't put her back in the show pen/pasture area (she stayed out in the large pasture area with the 1st time mothers).  I...

DL, I will try to answer all your questions. 1. The heifer fell at a show. Just finished washing her.  When we turned down the isle where we were stalled, her back end slipped and fell to the ground. 2. I have had a vet look at her when he came to do a preg check.  When he saw her she was...

I never thought about Aspirin.  I thought about banomine (sp?) though.  Someone mentioned after the show that we should try accupuncture.

My wife and I are facing a difficult decision.  We own a heifer that my son shows and it used to do very well at shows until it fell at a show.  I mentioned on another post a couple months ago that I was going to try an animal chiropractor.  The chiropractor was awesome and the heifer was...

If a child does all the work at home,  I have no issue with having someone help fit the calf at the shows.  Saying this, I think it would be best to only allow cattle to be shown slick.  Getting rid of the hair would give more people a chance and get rid of the need to hire fitters, buy coolers...

From what I have learned over the past five weeks, they do a lot of work on horses.  My friend is a vet, roper and horse ranch owner.  He and a lot of his friends swear by them.  I decided to try it because we had a lot of money invested in the heifer and I was afraid her body might wear out...

I recently had a certified animal chiropractor work on my son's heifer.  He has adjusted the heifer twice over the past 5 weeks and I plan on having him come out again next week.  I am glad I had one come out because I am seeing an improvement in the way she walks.  The heifer fell down hard at...

Thanks for all the infomation.  I pride myself on making sure my kids calves are some of the tamest calves so they don't get hurt and to have good hair.  We also try to tie the calves up for at least 2 hours every evening. While they are tied up we comb and blow them out. We also wash them about...

Not sure if I should post this in the Big Show or in the Wanted forum: My son is starting his second year of showing and my daughter is starting her first year of showing calves.  Last year we were all excited to start showing cattle and went to at least one show a month in Oklahoma.  We were...

I am surprised the hair has just started to grow.  When we got him, he was the hairyest calf I have every seen.  I was told the later he puts on the hair, the longer he will keep it.

Back in February I posted a picture of the steer we bought for my son.  I wanted to post a new picture now that he is five months from his big show (OYE).  What do you think?  (Not sure if the pic will work since it was a PDF instead of a JPEG).  If the pic doesn't come up, I will get the...

Sounds like a perfect way to start the New Year but not sure if my wife would agree.  ???  Since I live in Oklahoma, I will keep an eye out for it.  If you make it happen, you might want to get it OCCA sanctioned.  I can guarantee a lot of folks would show up then.  I am not an OCCA member but...
