Not knowing your skill level it is hard to offer advise so I will offer it to you are a true beginner.  A lot of shows have walk trot warm up classes.  I would start there.  DO NOT go into the rail classes if you don't have good control at all three gaits.  Stay with in your skill level and you...

We live in the lake effect snow region and last year was awlful. We all have them and they are well worth it.  As another poster said, make sure they are the right ones and they come in 2 heights.  We like the bit shorter one like these...

I know who this is ;)  And even when you win the big prize(congrats by the way) there is nothing like wrapping your arms around a child. 

try regular crisco with butter.  Equal amount if not I swear by Imperial margarine.  Just keeps the cookies firm but done.  Don't like butter as it cases the cookies to spread and be flat.  Taste good but I like a cookie with more rise to it And for the chemical recipe.....makes them sound...

Insulated MUCK BOOTS!!! and Under Armor.  We are in the lake effect area and MUCK BOOTS are the bomb!

Have first time heifer with angus sired calf on her side.  She was a good show heifer-she is half black angus- and she has produced a black calf we are very excited about and will show this next year.  Sweet cow with good milk and had this calf on her own and she was up and ready for...

I don't know if this is true but....I think it certainly could happen.  (lol) Your government at work...   You will love this one, I haven't stop laughing yet..... For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at...

Here is a link to a farm with a really nice set up.  There is a barn shot on the right and if you click on it it will show a bigger picture.  They are friends of ours from the cutting horse pen so they took some concepts from the big horse farms in TX and used them in thier design.  This barn...

I have learned a lot already on this forum.  I am a horse girl and can tell you lots of supplements to use to help an animal stay sound as well as drugs to use for joint help and muscle help.  Have used a lot of those same priciples on the show calves.  My questions here is: Growing colts up to...

Gotta Show to Know GOT HAIR? Winners Make Things Happen....Losers Let Things Happen Show it Like You Own It Peace  Love  Cows  as in the peace sign, a heart and a steer or heifer profile

Maybe someone should go over and check their "cover"  LOL Seriously though, PETA and it's supporters need to be addressed.  I have seen what anti-slaughter laws have done to the horse world.  A horse with no place to go is a sad situation.  Granted we do not eat them in this country but without...

GO HERFS!  Son has showed them since his first year and they have won us over with their dispositions.  Herfords are one of the biggest divisions at the county fair and at the Indiana State Fair.  Look for a good one and it will turn heads in a sea of black.  Worst part is learning how to work...

We had confirmmed reservations at the Homestead Suites NW of Indy.  Tried to get rooms at 12 AM which we thought would be there.  They overbooked and sent us to the Extended stay Deluxe off of Michgan Rd.  Friend's credit card was hacked and bogus charges showed up in Georgia.  She had not used...

We crossed a horned hereford bull on a  Heat Wave cow and got the coolest bald faced heifer calf.  She is a keeper and did it again this year.  Can't wait to show this one.  We took a chance when other people laughed.  I wonder what they will say when they see her?? Our other odd cross was a Red...

Being from a horse show world' sweating necks DOES work.  If you can find a halter horse person, they might just give you some tips.  My friend uses a concoction with glycerine in it.  A lot of them can be purchased in liquid or gels.  Look at Jeffers Equine.  Would work well with several...

Yes, our country allows for a freedom most countries cannot or will not tolerate BUT.... how about a Japanese restaurant at Pearl Harbor? maybe a furnace factory at Auswitz? what about a gun factory in war raveged Somalia? This is no different.  It rubs salt in a wound.  Could you imagine if...

Being fairly new (8 yrs) showing cattle and hogs, I find the reasons a wonderful learning tool and always try and tune into them.  That being said...dare I say it...I hate to hear bullsh!&.  I learn the most from the judges that give concise reasons as to why they have the animals sorted their...

A 10 year member, Chris Cummings, lost his 4 year battle with cancer on June 29th. Our fair started on the 18th of July. Chris shows cattle but is particularly fond of Herefords. He had a Chianina steer, Hereford steer and Hereford heifer for this years fair. He lived this battle with an amount...
