Has anyone heard of Protocol Platinum Maxx R? Does anyone feed this? What exactly does it do?

I have been feeding stabilized rice bran since mid to late  February. My calves don't seem to be eating it as well as I thought that they would. I suspect that they do not like that it is a ground-up meal. I don't think they like the fine particles. I tried the nuggets/pellets but they aren't...

I am confused by the High Octane feed supplement products by Show Chow. Which one does what? Which ones do you like? Are they worth the money?

I haven't tested her yet to see about genetic disease possibility.

The feed mill tells me that Honor Show Chow is replacing their Finishing Touch with a new product called Full Range. I can still get the FTouch for this year only and by special order only. It will take 2 weeks to get any in to the feed mill in the future, but the Fitters Edge and Full Range are...

I'm not stuck on composite at all, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to go Charolais either. My original thought was to go Shorthorn but Maine would be ok too.I'm a little afraid to go Charolais because she is pretty small.

Yeah, I've already asked about a Shorthorn but then I started to second guess myself. Maybe I will stick with that.

Is he Registered Hereford, or just Hereford colored? Genetic testing results? Can he be used on heifers? I'm looking for a genetically CLEAN Registered Hereford to AI to some black heifers. Who do you suggest? Custom Made? Some one else?

Looking for red (possibly white or red and white) AI sire for my small framed, super thick BIM heifer. Dam is Irish Whiskey X Charolais. Would like to add a little femininity and size. I want a calving ease bull that is clean on the genetic testing. Heifer is from a carrier bull and has not been...

What do you know about HD Swagger 802ET?

Yes. I am wanting to keep replacements, and I would like to add some femininty. You see right on, XBAR

I have a low percentage Chi heifer out of Monopoly Money that I want to AI to a Chi-Influence bull. My heifer is moderate framed and pretty thick. She has a super pretty front. I'm looking for a bull that is clean on all of the genetic testing and is known for calving ease. What's your...

I'm looking to AI a Charolais-cross heifer to a PB red or red roan Shorthorn bull. I'm looking for a bull that is clean on all of the genetic testing and is known for calving ease. The heifer is out of Believe In Me. She has a small frame and is super thick. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tips!

We have 3 steers and 3 heifers (one of each for each of our 3 children). We have been feeding Honor Show Chow Fitters Edge and/or Finishing Touch (depending on the calf) because a couple of them were eating that when they came to us. We plan to switch over to AAOK's recipe, but my husband has...

How many days from your target show do you stop feeding a grower ration and start feeding a finishing ration?

That is an awesome idea!

I have been on our County Fair Board for the past 3 years. There are a handful of topics that we seem to argue about every year. One of these is what awards to give out at the annual fair. A long time ago, it was trophies. Several years ago, the trophies were switched to wooden plaques with an...

Does anyone put soy oil into their custom feed ration? Are you pleased with the results? Anyone brave enough to share their soy oil feed ration recipe?

Awesome! Thanks. I showed at the Iowa State Fair until the late 80's or early 90's. When and why did they start doing that?
