Are you talking about for a slick shear show or just to get rid of winter  hair? We just sheared our heifers to get rid of sll the dead winter hair. We shear down to the knees and leave the belly hair

Saw an ad for one on indianapolis craigslist yesterday located in north Vernon

First know your limits. Personally I know I'm not good enough to fit or clip at a big show . Our last show was the first of December and I hired a fitter . Our next show isn't until march so in between I can practice a little and follow their lines . But I also know it takes at least 30 days to...

Ok thanks I have a heifer that I am wanting to us him on .

Anybody know If semen is still available for Durango? If so is it just from the owners or private parties or does one of the big suppliers still carry it? So far I haven't found any . Thanks in advance

My wife and I are going to AI school in a few months so we can do our own AI ing . We currently do not have a semen tank our AI tech carries what we want in his tank. We are looking to get our own tank and would like your opinions on what tanks everybody likes. We will be breeding about 10 head...

Unfortunately life isn't fair and neither is showing cattle. We were there and showed in showmanship Friday night. I'm not saying my child should've won his class or shouldn't have won his class there were several good showmen in the ring . However my kid was one of the few in the ring that...

We have a hereford heifer we will be showing in a month and my question is should I wait till right before the show and just clip her front end and blend it In with the rest if her body or take a pair of flat heads and shave down her from end and let it grow back and then shape it ? I've seen...

I agree with XBar . It will either be a great success or a train wreck. We had a cow we bred in a similar instance and it worked very well got a double shot of all the good with very few bad qualities accentuated . But you always have to be prepared for a disaster .

Umbargers Payload . It was developed for feeding show heifers. Really adds depth and volume . Best stuff we have found for heifers

Any one know much about this bull or seen him in person? I like the pictures of I have seen of him and I saw a heifer out of him in a sale catalog last week. What does everyone else think of him and the calves out of him

Anyone have the sale results from the Ladies of the Royal hereford sale yesterday? Specifically lots 15 and 17 ? Thanks

Anyone ever heard of or used this bull? If so what do you think of him? He is a full brother to Irish Whiskey but a clean version. Just wondered my grandpa had a cow come in today that he thought was bred and our AI tech had some semen on this bull so we used it .Guess its too late to turn back...

Are you talking about Hoosier Beef Congress? If so go for it the more experience the better. They will show by age of the child and breed. We just blow them out and go with a little pink oil or sheen . Pretty laid back they take the top one or two from each class to move on. I tell my kids any...

We lined he inside of ours with the plastic they use to line refrigerator trailers it works great and everything can be cleaned with a power washer or a push broom and garden hose

We feed wet beet pulp mixed in with our regular feed. We have tried depth charge and couldnt tell any difference in our calves. Maybe it was just our calves ? But we always have good luck with the beet pulp. Also we feed Payload from Umbargers . Love this feed it was designed for heifers to add...

Had the same problem with a heifer we bought about 10 years ago. Went to look at her she was fine, got her home she was fine , but the more we worked her the worse she got. In the barn and going back and forth to the wash room she was fine but the minute you took her out the barn door her head...

I'm a firm believer in Appetite Express from Sullivans . We feed it to all our show cattle and really helps keep them eating start to finish and on the road. Always had trouble the first couple shows of calves not eating started using this and no more problems they eat at shows just like they do...

Thanks for the input. I want to try and keep the to the kids as low as possible since there are some single parent kids and some others that don't have a lot of extra . The local businesses are very supportive of 4H here in our county and several show up at our county fair auction to support the...

There have been several kids in our county that have showed interest in having a beef club . I have been asked by our county extension educator if I would help get it started. So, that being said I have some questions to bounce off of everyone here and get their feedback and input. I'm thinking...
