And the media that gives them the forum to speak is Brown Slime.   ;D ;D  <beer>

Thanks for the responses.  The breeder mentioned that THO/LTS Drama might be a good choice for her.  I don't know much about him other than he's a Trademark son.  Anyone have any experience?  I'm probably leaning towards Voyager, but I'm struggling with this one.

I'm trying to figure out what to breed my Entourage heifer to.  She's deep ribbed, huge hip, and very free moving.  She has a little leather up front.  I'd like to figure out an easy calving PB Simmy bull that will click on her.  I'd like to stay away from any Dream On influence because...

Great post.  I agree with your thoughts on cutting down kids.  To give an opinion is one thing but use tact and respect for you might be cutting a 10 year old's dream of entering the business.  I've showed a few calves that were far less than perfect when I first started as I'm sure a few others...

Thanks for the info.  What did some of the High Regards bring?  And if you were there how did they look in person?  I'm not surprised the sale average was pretty high.  Looked like a tremendous set of bulls. 

Anyone have results from Werning's Bull sale?

Especially with a sale the magnitude of the National Western Simmental sale.  I think it's a terrible time to try out a new online auction service too.  Go with what you know works.  I'm relieved that I wasn't purchasing anything over the internet last night.  I would have been VERY disappointed...

I guess you get what you pay for.  I'm watching Cattle In Motion online National Western Simmental Sale online.  While it's free, the picture is the most horrible picture I've ever seen.  I can honestly say I've never experienced that with either LiveAuctions or Edjecast.  May as well be audio...

$50 is cheaper than traveling to Denver, Yes?  I'm a subscriber and a very happy one.  Live Auctions does a tremendous job of attending sales all over the country.  They have a professional staff that's very quick to accept a late registration.  I've made purchases off of Live Auctions and every...

Regardless of who you think should have been there - the fact of the matter is not many people were watching. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/01/espns-alabama-lsu-draws-lowest-ever-bcs-title-rating/1 I would have at least watched ANY other matchup.  Bama and LSU just...

You might consider calling Willie Morris too.  He owns the bull or a percentage of him and would have an excellent idea of what he's working on.  I think he gets on steer planet once in awhile, but I'm betting he's fairly busy right now getting ready for his upcoming sale.

Lot 30 would have been my pick and for me it wasn't really even close on any other lot.  That said, I found all the Entourage heifers to be sound, soft, and eye appealing.  Some of them had some leather up front but that's being fairly critical on a nice set of calves.  I really thought there...

Agree 100%.  It eliminates the impulse purchase.  I know there were some heifers last Saturday at the Midwest Made Sale that would have brought more had they been in the ring.  It's impossible to fairly evaluate 50 head in the hour before the sale. 

I love the idea.  I do think it would be more successful if you could allow for more involvement - meaning instead of folks submitting their results to you and you posting them on your blog - allow folks to submit the results instantly. I don't know if a wiki or something of that nature would...

I think these are great stats and I agree with the premise that the SEC has been superior in recent years.  What I don't think these stats say that I DO think is important is that the Big 10 has a very good bowl agreement setup.  Many times the B10 is mated with a team that has a superior...

I think it's reasonable to expect a seller to protect what they have in an animal.  You or I don't know how much that is. So, by fake account I'm going to assume that's the seller protecting his investment.  I'm going to assume there's not some conspiracy here by a bunch of internet hackers to...

Any animal you buy in an auction format - private treaty, online or otherwise could be getting bumped by someone.  Personally, I don't think online auctions are any more susceptible than any other mechanism.  You as a buyer have to figure what you are willing to spend and not be afraid to spend...

I agree with what you are saying.  So, if a news reporter would have blown up the story of borrowing against social security to fund highways...  There would have been a major tug on emotions and every acting senator and house member voted out.  You can only imagine the story - Grandma's not...

Now do I want to shorten somebody's life?  Absolutely not.  The truth is though - a combination of cuts are going to have to be made along with taxes increasing.  There's no way around that.  Is it going to have an impact to a lot of people?  Absolutely!  It's going to be a terrible situation...

The crisis didn't end today.  As a few of the other posters have mentioned, we need some pretty big cuts in spending and increased tax revenues.  The impact that the combination of those things will have on our economy will determine if the crisis is over.  One side wants to argue cuts in...
