I bought judging101 accounts for all of the FFA and 4H chapters in the county this year as our farm's contribution to the county in general so they have that resource, but I know from experience that the more variety you can put in front of them the better they will learn.  I know we practiced...

If anyone has any pictures they would be willing to post in replies that I could put in a slideshow for a high school livestock judging team, that would be amazing.  I have copied a bunch of pictures from the site and others but you would be amazed at how few there are that are ideal for...

It wouldn't be mitochondrial lineage that is affecting phenotype or performance, it is simply good genetics being passed down through reproduction.  Luck in random assortment is more in line for getting the credit

if the show allows paint then you can paint the black calf, otherwise he'll just have to be a little brown, which isn't the end of the world.  On the stick Issues that's just something you'll have to work on.  My advice is to work as long as you and your cattle can stand every day but back off...

Never...we blade castrate at 3 months.  All banding has gotten us was worry and problems so we just cut them and it's done

just remember that alcohol can make cattle mean the same as people, we tried it on a heifer that was just a tad jumpy and she tried to eat us alive, we repeated again at home to make sure and the same thing happened.  She was as sweet as could be every other day of her life except when she had a...

it could definitely be injection sites, I have a bull calf that I gave banamine and nuflor to over 4 months ago and one of the sites still has a golf ball sized knot that is slowly starting to go down.  Otherwise I don't know what would cause symmetrical knots on either side of the neck

bust a few of them with pliers, make sure they bleed. This will release the virus into the blood where white blood cells can adapt against it and destroy it.  The vaccine is good for about 3% of wart strains and will not work if they already have warts anyways,

I would love to but I am in state and will also probably know some of the kids there.  I had 3 calves in the show last year.  I can be objective but then again someone would have something to say.  I'll  call a couple of Georgia judges that I know and see if anyone will do it if you would like...

I would like ot see him travel before I make my decision  (dog) 

it's more about accuracy than sticking, what kind of AI success percentages have you been getting on the tailhead?  I'm almost sure you've had at least a couple of false heat reads if you've been putting them on the tailhead itself

really nice heifer.  I would like to see a tick more muscle and clean up her hip angle and neck but those are traits from the braford, she should make a great mama and as long as you can make sure the judge knows she is an american cross she should do well in the ring too

it almost looks like someone did a poor job of clipoping "tasty" into his side...

wouldn't there be an extremely high chance of some hurt feelings if someone reads this and their name isn't mentioned?  I rand for several offices as a teenager and saw my own and some good friends get our feelings hurt a few times and a few people were completely crushed, I would say this is...

if it were me I would wash her as much as possible while being careful.  Rinsing is the most calming thing you can do with a calf in my experience.  I have made demons into angels with a lot of patience and caution but you are not me and I would advise you to get local help.  Some cattle will...

I was just wondering y'alls opinions on the next great bull, either a name of an up and coming sire or your speculations on a pedigree that you feel will produce the next big thing, either for the show ring or the pasture.  <cowboy>

most members have their location below their avatar and many more have it on their profile if you click on their name.  Not tryin to say it isn't worth it but it might be better to simply ask members to make sure they have one or the other done, just an idea. I'm in the Florida panhandle though
