    Beet Pulp

    How soon before a show do you start feeding it?  Or do you just always feed it?

    best area for raising livestock?

    Missouri is great, as long as your cattle like to eat Fescue that is toxic.  I wouldn't even try feeding it to pregnant horses.  My wife is from Missouri and it is the worst place to visit.  Poison Ivy everywhere, toxic fescue, and the people are less than friendly.  We live in NW Kansas, so my...

    Some thoughts on the current state of our country

    Kind of long but worth reading. Scary Obituary In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a...

    2012 bottle calf price?

    NW Kansas going for $450-$500.  I would never put a dairy bull on mine, you don't know what diseases they are carrying and aren't worth near as much as beef cattle when it comes time to sell.  As far as bottle calves or twins not making it, we have had really good luck, especially if put on...

    Breeding to Ace of Diamonds or Simple Man

    X2, and after seeing some of the calves out of AOD, I would say they look plenty soggy.

    Iowa Royal Sale

    I was bidding on the first bull, had to settle for lot 6.  Thought all in all were very good prices from a buyers standpoint.  No deals under $1000, but nothing outrageous either.

    Iowa Royal Sale

    Anyone at the Iowa Beef Expo been through the Shorthorn bulls?  I know Mitchell's look really good, wondering about Gana-Nisley's, Leemon's out of Ace of Diamonds, and the Lot 1 bull, I think he is the only 2 year old in the sale.

    cuts of meat

    Wouldn't normally respond to a post like this, but it bugs me.  Are they not teaching proper grammar at school?  Ridiculous has no E in it, and you are not supposed to start a sentence with the word and, which coincidentally is the only beginning of a sentence that is capitalized.  Nothing...

    DRM Phineas-grand Dam

    Your bulls look amazing.  We are going to have a hard time deciding which one we like better.  I think I like the Horton bull, but my wife likes Phineas, and my daughters favorite show is Phineas and Ferb so guessing I will be outvoted.

    Shorthorn Plus Bulls

    I knew about the showing rules.  We will be trying to show the calves, the cows are 50-75% shorthorn.  I assumed a 50% shorthornX50% shorthorn would still give 50% papers on the calf?  Like the looks of Young Money and Crimson Tide, don't know if Young Money is a registered plus, but would be...

    Shorthorn Plus Bulls

    What is the best shorthorn plus bull?  I have a couple plus cows that we would like to breed to get plus calves out of, both could use a little powering up.  Moderate framed, fairly soggy middled cows, one had our high selling steer a couple years ago, just curious what bull is going to work best?

    Liveauctions.tv

    Some of the sales the buyer must pay the fee, because some sales you do not have to have the subscription to watch.  I agree with you guys, I am not paying to purchase from any website.

    BCS what?

    Irregardless of who ended up winning, you have the number one conference in college football, SEC, and the number two conference in football, Big 12, and the only game they play each other in is the Cotton Bowl?  Whether or not the offense's are inept (I would say OSU would have handled...

    What's Up with Iowa State Police??

    There are quite a few states like that.  If your vehicle is tagged with farm tags, be it a pickup or semi, and you travel more than 150 miles from your home base, you are breaking the law.  If said pickup or semi has commercial plates and you have a CDL, you are fine.

    Shorthorn Bull Exile

    Is Exile a pure shorthorn? I know he has been discussed on here at length, but I was on the cattlevisions sight and he is listed under club calf sires, but not under the shorthorns.  Was pretty sure he was a pure shorty, just want to make sure before I breed to him.
