That pretty well covers the good!    Looks like she has a nice functional type of heifer to work with.

Pretty cool, our fair is raising money for a new building, one kid donated half his premium to the building fund.    There are a few good ones left, most of em have something to do with livestock.......

To build on that, reluctant to use unproven genetics  for odds of having a good one, but also even if you have a good one, if the big three wont market the outcross bull, they sure aren't going to help you market a calf sired by the outcross bull, so you may have a great calf that you sell for...

In the court of public perception, never punch down, it gives credibility to the lower rung....  It does the pork industry a lot of good to punch up......... Heard that analogy about Jay Z calling out Scott boras......  Does boors no good to acknowledge Jay Z as the new kid, but Jay Z gets...

Bw and weaning weight have to correlate at least somewhat, and I would think the same could be true for yearling, though things like mature frame size and feed efficiency can make up the difference over the course of the year much easier.....  I know my two favorite heifers in our herd right...

Local county went to blow and go.....  I think the non steer jocks thought it would bring the steer jocks back to the pack but actually it worked the other way.....  The folks that put in the time to train hair at home really stood out,    A couple calves had great hair that wasn't trained and...

Jagar makes a good point, but I never said buy piece of crap cows though, and AI is far from a guarantee also.  Can have great conception or poor, and there is no guarantee the mating will work.    I look at it as 65% at a proven mating vs 75% at an unproven mating.    Either way you are gonna...

I guess you said what I was thinking....  I don't mean to sound negative about the whole thing, I am not anti-competition or anything like that.  The point you made about judges are drawn to the extremes is the part I wish wasn't so.....  as an industry we cant be pushing to extremes, we need...

Will that clone ever see a real cow in heat?

Back to the original topic......  There is a big difference between having nothing to hide and allowing full access to a photographer who likely has an agenda....... NBC. Selectively edited to make it appear that Zimmerman had volunteered that Martin was black They also edited Palins...

Walking through the barn at our county fair it was Interesting to view the cattle......  The show is not overly competitive, there are a couple families that have clubby steers or heifers that will compete for the trophies, but a majority of the home raised and even purchased cattle are calves...

Depending on where you live a mentor may be close by.....  Find one, and I would not rule out buying embryos.  Are you going to Ai your own cows?  If not a tech will be involved.....  In my mind, buying embryos and having a tech implant them, is not much different then buying semen and...

Club calf daughters don't often make club calf mamas......    Buying embryos is cheaper then going through clubby female after clubby female looking for the one good one if you are limited on numbers.  Jmho

Wish there was a like button.....  A local breeder tells me a little extra leather goes with good performance.....  I'd rather have one that is sound and deep and thick and and grows and reproduces witha sloppy throat then one with a clean throat that doesn't reproduce or grow.

Which half?

I have two kids that will hopefully both be showing in about four or five years......  First "bucket calf" show is this weekend...... While I do love the thought of breeding my own, I am leaning more and mor ero the thought of getting 8-10 big framed heavy milking cows and use them as recips. ...

Westport, which is petty close. To there is the night life area or was.....    Was. A little sketchy, but I have been told has cleaned up a lot......
