will do!  (thumbsup)

Thanks Olson Family Shorthorns! I'll try to work on that, one thing i've been told was mixing mane & tail conditioner with vineger and water... i've heard it was great but also that it can keep them hot  :-\ opinions?

ok, i have a question, and this seems like the thread to ask it in. I have a shorthorn heifer i'm currently showing and during the colder months she was nothing but a ball of fluff! ;D Buuuuutttt... now, right here at the beginning of summer shes loosing alot of it very quickly. I was wondering...

Pink oil, yes  ;D i've only been showing cows for about two years now, and (admitting a bit of ignorance) thats the only "pink oil" i knew of for quite some time! i still remember going to the sullivans trailer at a show and thinking WOWt there's more than one kind! I bought a can of the...

Recently I sent my yearling heifer too another facility for breeding. She's only been back for a few days and I've noticed that she is having a very thick cloudy discharge. I'm not sure if this is means she is bred or if it could be an infection of some kind because this is my first time to ever...

Hey everybody! Wow, it's been so long since I've been on here! I missed you guys.  ;D It's been so hectic lately I haven't had time to get on any forums. I recieved my new show calf. She's a WHR shorthorn calf, I'll post some pictures later, I'd like to get some feedback on her. Our first show...

amen cattlenuts it makes me so mad!. we hardly go to our own county fair anymore due to this. mr.smith (name changed) is a breeder and pays big bucks on his animals. well he keeps them in the barn all year long except for certain fairs. the kids that show for mr.smith never even see their...

oh gosh, dont get me started on clothing... this is coming from a teenage girl ok. it seems like every show i go to, almost (not ALL) but almost all the girls are in low rise jeans low cut shirts, tank tops. & even un-buttoning their show shirts!! the whole bit. AND IM EMBARESSED FOR THEM! the...

thats what we did, and i love em. we attached the finished product to a board above their stalls and use a fan to circulate the moisture... works just as well as the other ones we've bought from wal-mart in my opinion.

Wow nice calf, Clubcalfshowgirl! im workin to get my calfs hair like that... how did you get your misters set up with a timer though? that would be sooooooo much help in our barn

(lol) i might have to put her into hiding or something~ & yesss justme they are!

thanks! & yea.. we dont really have the weather on our side either. here in AR. i know what you mean with those misters though... they do keep the calves cool but they are a handfull

ive never seen rain rot on a calf before, but ill check into it and see.. our county fair is in a few weeks so im trying to hurry up and get it dealt with. but thanks for the tips.. every little tid bit helps becuase im new to this business!

Wow Red, that does look like a nightmare! i think i would have to break down and cry... lol. her hair is falling out in smaller clumps, but the skin isnt red like that.. it's really flakey and discolored... maybe it's a different type of fungus. i'll try the bleach pen and keep up the fungus...

im kinda doing the same thing farmboy is talking about, i rinse my calf for a while, squiggy the water from her hair, comb it out & then put her under a turbo fan. But i have noticed a couple of places on her legs where she lays down... im not exactly sure what it is, when i first noticed it i...

i love highlanders  <33  ;D if it was a cool enough climate here i do believe id have a whole heard -lol-
