My sons heifer was this way we took her out to a small open show and it was completely out of her element.  This kind of forced her to trust us since we were the only familiar thing she knew there and she did great. It was just like she had been shown for years. Brought her gome and she has been...

We had a similar problem with my sons heifer. We tried everything she would do ok following another calf or even being followed but when you got her by herself she would not walk and you cant just tail them everywhere. We tried giving her some medication to take the edge off and loosen her up...

I am just starting to get back into showing with my son and i have seen really nice calves for as low as $1500 this was from a small guy that doesn't sell "club calves" he breeds really great cows to the top AI sires and feeds them out and sells them as freezer beef. His calves have won several...

A Remington 22-250!!! Have you checked into people wanting to hunt prairie dogs? In several of the varmint hunting magazines there are people looking for places to go hunt prairie dogs . You may even be able to charge people for hunting rights or get set up with an outfitter to host hunts on...

Thanks Leanbeef. I found the fall 2012 breed average EPD's for both bulls and mature cows. This helped out a lot in understanding the % values. Since I am looking for a bull to use on a heifer calving ease and birth weight are at the top of the list for me. This bull is in the top 10% on calving...

Thanks for the info. Let me run some numbers by you and get your opinion on PHH PCC True Grit. Calving ease 4.6, BW 2.3, WW 53, YW 75, Milk 22, and Milk & Growth 48. The website I have been looking at show the breed average EPD's for 2010 they are calving ease 0.4, BW 3.6, WW 44, YW 73, Milk 17...

I am just getting into herfords and trying to decide what to breed a heifer to. I have been looking at bulls and their numbers but dont fully understand what the EPD numbers mean. For calving ease do you want a higher number or a lower number ? With birth weight is a higher number better or a...

I live southwest of Indianapolis and I get it from a place called Greendell Mulch and Mix it costs $18 a yard. I can get 2 yards in my short bed pickup.  I know there are different locations around for the company and there are other mulch companies that sell a very similar product.

We use a product called soft step its very similar to mulch only without the dye and compost. Its a hardwood wood chip and is sold here locally in Indiana works great for show cattle. We put down a good base of ag lime about 12 inches or so, soak it down with water and then compact it. Then top...

My brother had a heifer thay way and the only way we could control her was to put a clip in her nose and she finally gave in

Has anyone used a rotobrush? If so how does it work? And how do you use it. I have seen them for sale and wondered about them but wanted to get some other peoples opinion. What does it do that a comb or brush doesn't?

My dad has a purple milsap calf and it was huge, 115 lb actual birth weight. For me that's just an option. I would try About Time or maybe True Grit. True Grit is an About Time son. I'm considering using him on my sons heifer

Herfords!  This was my sons first year showing and we got him a September Herford heifer to show.  Our fair is in July so he had a smaller calf to show it really helped his confidence to be able to show a smaller calf. Generally speaking most herford calves are pretty easy going and easy to work...

My son showed a September heifer this year and we are planning on showing her next year as a senior heifer and plan to AI her end of December or first of January. Any suggestions on what bull to use? Also has anyone had luck (good or bad ) using sexed semen? We are really wanting another...
