Frankly I think that a little bit of showmanship is good for the game, keeps viewers (either live or tellivised) interested and people wanting to watch and take part in your product. (NFL, College, CFL) Being a truly unsportmanlike Dink is a different story. I think this call is totally...

Why did the cow jump over the moon? ............................................................................................. Because the farmer had cold hands! (lol)

Perhaps Jason if members don't wish to play and post by the rules you would be willing to refund the price of membership to Steer Planet?  ;) Thanks for doing a great job and providing a great site for us all.

One of my favourite stories ever wa at a pretty small town fair many years ago, there was not a lot of cattle at the show but we had a big string there. I was showing a heifer that was pretty good, had won her class in Louisville, was an All American, etc etc... Out in the champion female...

RW, I have never heard about the eagle egg hatching thing but I would believe it! I've used Silkie hens to hatch Turkeys, Ducks, etc etc. It is almost comical to pick one up off of a nest after weeks on end and discover she has been waiting for a stone to hatch!

Kanbe, when I was a kid I had several varieties of Fancy Chickens that I raised and showed and sold and used the money to buy my first PB cattle. It was a really great way for a young kid to learn a lot of things about animal husbandry, genetics, marketing and business. While I never did raise...

It has often been said that only the good die young! (lol)

How cold is it getting where you are at? I've had good luck with the lightbulb trick, I've often bought "trouble lights" that only have about 2' of cord on them for this purpose. The steel cage helps keep the bulb from touching something it shouldint. I also used a small hallogen "clamp light"...

Yes I'm sure people look at you funny walking around with the VS bag, but I bet they look at you even funnier when you come out of the dressing room! (lol)

Yes you can buy shavings at the grounds, I don't remember what the pirce is but I don't recall it being worse than any other show.

I have recieved this several times via e-mail but I still giggle every time I read it. So for those who haven't got this one yet, please enjoy! I think most of us have experienced the electric fence in it's glory atleast once. (thumbsup)   If you have ever used an electric fence or know...

Thunderdownunder, I have to completely agree with your statement regarding "Genetic Mix". I find it interesting how one herd can have drastically different results from one sire versus your neighbour down the road using the same bull. For example, Several years ago, my father and I bred a...

Perfect!   I think the thing to do here would be to have The Association change his name to "Sodhouse Hypocrite" take him to Denver and promote him, display him and market him as being a TH carrier, something that you have frequently bashed others for doing and belittled them as Hobbyists...

I used to pull off most of those manoeuvres on my way to work in High School when I was late, in my K-Kar! (lol)

Does the ASA have provisions to allow for name chnages of registered animals?

Thank you for all of the interest, bids and kind comments. Mistress 5X sold to Shady Brook Farms, Brome QC   Mistress 5X was also a class winner at the National Show today and has been very popular in the barns. Thanks again for all of the support.

Lazy G, this is not meant as an attack of your statement, simply making conversation. How does the Low Line breed protect it's "purity" compared to any other being from a research farm? Once the cattle are in the hands of other breeders what stops them from "influencing" the gene pool from...

Quick and easy money?   Do you still have two kidneys? I hear you can get vy with one and the other could be worth some pretty good money in the right place!  (thumbsup) Like others have mentioned, get a part time job after school or hire yourself out for odd jobs and your goal should be...

I wouldn't worry about it for a second, I would just leave him be and charge on. Very minor cosmetic detail.
