    The state of the planet

    I have kids too. young ones. they like to read over my shoulder when I am on SP. So my rule of thumb is that if I don't want my kid reading it then I don't post it. There are times when I've let my temper get the best of me, but it was still posted so that my boys can still read it. Different...

    new 4-H steer

    You're the second person that has mentioned that but this steer was banded at a day old. He is just heavy on the front. We'll find out next week what his carcass graded. We're getting together with all the members for a carcass evaluation

    The state of the planet

    I hope some of the "old timers" continue to post on here because I have learned a lot since joining. I really enjoy when people post pictures of their cattle and talk pedigree so that I can figure out what's what in the purebred world. It's going to be a long time before I get the oppurtunity to...

    What would happen if you put Wentworth on some commercial cows (black angus or so). I'm thinkin' you would get an awesome pen of market steers! Especially if his calves have muscling like that (thumbsup)

    Winter Checking Cattle Pics

    Okay, I know you guys say its winter out there but unless you're freezing your toes I don't think you should be allowed to call it that. Maybe you can call Australian winters "lesser summer", or  something! That being said, very nice cattle  (thumbsup) What else is in the steer beside shorthorn?

    new 4-H steer

    Back in December we had the kids measure their calves to predict frame score. When we did that the black steer was supposed to be 1260-1275 lbs to be finised. We calculated an ADG of about  2 lbs to get him there and we coaseted him through the whole year, bumping his grain up a notch at the end...

    new 4-H steer

    Just our of curiosity, do you disagree with the winner? We do have a carcass evaluation for all the steers that stay in the area (which is most of them)  Quite often what happens is that the winner of the carcass competition is someone unexpected that placed in the middle of the pack. When we...

    R.I.P. Andy Griffith!!!

    I have 4 boys and a girl. The boys enjoy watching Dukes of Hazzard, Bonanza, and Beverly Hill Billies. We bought them on DVD so that they don't watch the stuff on TV nowadays. They are still young though. My mother loved Matlock. They don't make shows like that anymore.

    Good commercial simmi x hfrs

    Don't often see that in a beef/holstein cross. Somehow that holstein always comes sneekin' through. Betcha if you bred one it would milk like crazy!....
