    new 4-H steer

    I'm bumping this thread to the top again. We just had a calf tour to all our 4-H members farms to see how the steers were doing. Never have I seen our club put  a group of steers out like these. All of them should be ready for the fair in mid-July (some need some work leading yet)  After seeing...

    Settle an argument...who has to open the gate?

    Passenger gets the gate except when hubby is driving and he has one of those fancy gates that you need pliers for to open or you'lll get zapped....you don't make proper gates, you're gonna have to open it yourself! I agree with previous posts, if the guy won't open a gate for you when he's the...

    What makes a consistent herd bull for you??

    we had that with a white shorthorn bull that we used last year. Can't believe how uniform the calves are from him. He bred cows with frame score of 4-6.5 or 7 and the calves are just great.  There isn't a purebred cow in the bunch and they are all crosses of some sort.

    Is this the thickest Shorthorn heifer you've seen?

    No limo bull in the neighbour's pasture? Does the calf walk okay? Her back legs look stiff... JMHO

    Its Derby Day!!!

    You know a canadian horse won when every news channel shows the race. I don't know who the second place horse was but when my hubby and I were watching we both commented on the size of that horse. It looks like a tank compared to the rest of them. ( the one that lost the lead in the last...

    Commercial Shorthorns

    Here are some updates. The pics don't really show it well (my calf pics never turn out good) but you can put your dinner plate on the calves backs and it won't fall off. Lovin' my shortie crosses. The calf sucking on the cow is my favourite heifer calf this year. The black one is my oldest son's...

    Commercial Shorthorns

    I love the face on this guy! This year I am not helping my oldest son with picking a steer (he's 10) He prefers black cattle but we have very few black calves this year. He has already picked one out though and I think he might be on the right track. He's out of a white shorthorn bull and a...

    Roast Beef- non cattle related

    Every time I go to a bull sale where they have beef on the bun it tastes awesome. But when I try to cook it at home it doesn't taste nearly as good. I'm thinkin' some of you out there can cook up a mean tastin' roast and I was wondering if you would share your ( or your wife's ) recipe. I know...

    Planned C-sections

    I just finished reading these 7 fasinating pages 1) JIT makes some very good points 2) People who let cows die under the "survival of the fittest " motto should not be allowed to have animals. Your the reason why PETA gets as much support as it does. I also believe in survival of the fittest...

    Herd Bull Time

    How does your herd sire line up look like? Our black angus yearling passed the semen test and was dropped off this afternoon. He is a little coarser up front than we had hoped for and because we have a nice calving ease shorthorn we will probably end up putting our yearlings with the shorthorn...
