Thanks guys. I know I'm kind of picking on little things just trying to get her to look her best for Louisville . This is our first time at a big show like that so we want to do the best we can .

Here is a picture of her

Thanks for the advise . I'm not worried too much about getting her too fat . We just clipped her out the other day and after we got done we noticed she needed a little more cover and filled in a little behind her shoulders . We clipped her shoulders down pretty tight to blend it in . After...

If you can get it Umbargers . We have used it for years they have a feed for every situation . Starter, breeder grower , Payload for heifers , Light 'em Up, barley base . They even have special rations for holding one . It's always fresh and it's always the same .

Thanks . She is only 9 months old now so we won't be breeding her till next year . I was thinking of getting some Golden Flo , Power Fuel , or stabilized rice bran . Any suggestions or experience with any of those ?

I have a January hereford heifer we are taking to Louisville and she is need some more fill behind her shoulders . She has plenty of depth and width but breaks behind her shoulders in her heart girth area. Any suggestions on what I could use to try and fill that area in and maybe a little over...

We have a local sign company do all of our stuff. They are very reasonable on their prices. They did our farm sign for us double sided aluminum for like $60

We've never fed that ration but we have used Payload and love it. It really adds some depth to our heifers . Also used Primer Plus to start our calves. Currently we are feeding Light 'em Up to our heifers and love it . Really fills in the the holes and gives that full look .

Thanks . We've found with Cracker Jack you have to use him on a big stout cow otherwise they just don't have enough mass . But he sure puts a really cool front end on his calves . The cow she is out of is a double bred Durango cow . We've found that 19D on 29F really works well. We have the cow...

Here's a January heifer we raised out of a first calf heifer and sired by Cracker Jack. What do you think of her ?

So I've been reading about IVF and have read the statistics from Trans Ova . Now I would like to hear real numbers from people that have used the process and their success rates , complaints, and if they would do it again. Would also like to know what the cost is to have it done ? Thanks in advance

We usually pay around $150 per head to clip at the farm before a big show then it's around $50-$100 per head to fit show day

About Time for sure. Semen is high but there are a lot of About Time sons out there that are pretty good. We used Cracker Jack on a couple last year have one really stout bull calf and a really fancy heifer out if him .

Thanks guys . I these when I was showing back in the 90's now my kids are showing and I'm learning to clip all over again. Getting pretty decent at it . We are showing 3 this year and had 2 last year . Just ready for an upgrade in equipment .

Looking to buy a new set of small clippers and want opinions on what everyone's favorites are . The ones I have now are an old set of Oster 2 speed A5's  . Looking to upgrade soon and trying determine what the best bang for my buck is and if there's a newer for 5 speed clippers or just a new set...

Thanks for the comment. He is plenty thick and moves really free and easy . Like I said he is out of a first calf heifer my son showed so it's pretty rewarding to finally see all the hard work pay off with our first set of calves. We aren't really into the whole steer thing right now mostly...

Here is our hereford bull calf out of a first calf heifer and a bull a close friend raised called X Man . We are pretty please with him. He weighed 67 lbs at birth but has grown like crazy. Born in January and already up at the feed trough. Pretty sure we are going to make a steer out of him to...

what do you guys think of our heifer. She is a January out of a double bred Durango first calf heifer and Crackerjack

CRR 719 Catapult 109 . Owned by the breeders of About Time . The people at Coyote Ridge Ranch say he is heifer safe and have used him on several of their heifers. We have 4 heifers bred to him due next January and February . He has a 1.4 BW EPD . Churchills Sensation and his son Red Bull both...

My experience around here is coyotes. Most are fairly newborn with the guts eaten out first. then they come back later for the remains .
