If that was directed at me, you should go back and read my posts.  It's not wrong by the rules and I clearly said that they had a far superior animal that would have won whether they filled or not.  To me, that's not stink stirring.  No doubt about it - Bloomburg's had a far superior animal.  I...

Do not underestimate brushing.  I think this is the most missed step in growing hair.  I generally wet my calves down 2-3 times per day depending on my schedule.  I keep them in an area of the barn that doesn't have any sunlight.  I blow them semi dry.  I blow in some Double Dip.  Then I brush...

Very well said!  I totally agree.  I think drenching, pumping or whatever should be left to life or death situations.  For the record, the heifer would have won regardless.  She was very very good and I didn't see anything that could touch her - drenched or not.  I don't know the Bloomburg's but...

Really?  You think both are pretty important aspects of the cattle business?  Help me out here when would I ever need to pump something full of water? 

She's an In Dew Time that sold for $54,000 in Jeff Paulson's Girls Gone Wild sale.  She was raised by the Spooner family of Wisconsin.  She looked great - sound, soft made.  I saw she was being pumped with some pink fluid before the show.  Was that electrolytes?

I've also heard but not been there that the 801 Steak and Chophouse in Des Moines is very good.  I think it's spendy though.

Please PM price and location of the #13 calf.  Thanks.

A few non cattle related: Adventureland Park - It's an amusement park and they've added a Water Park as well but I'm not sure if that's done yet. Blank Park Zoo - Haven't been there in years so can't tell you how it compares. Living History Farms - If you are going to the Machine Shed...

:-)  I believe it's the same people but it's quite a bit fancier than the one in Montour.  I agree on Paxton's.  We've ate their after long Expo and State Fair days and it's good stuff.  It's on the way back to most of the hotels in Altoona too. The other one I thought of was the Big Steer. ...

What are the chances that Ryan Haberger's bet on Heat Wave and the clones will top Monopoly in the 10,000 challenge?  I would think if any bull had a chance it would be Heat Wave, but I have to think that Matt had a pretty good idea it was a lock before he made the bet.  Just curious if anyone...

Rube's in Urbandale (DSM suburb) is very good.  It's a grill your own too.

I'm sure the next Drama on the blog will be this thread.  We're all a bunch of jerks.  Stay tuned.  ;D (pop)

So Phil put that out as his top sellers for the month and Matt says that's BS it's not his top sellers.  Why don't they just clarify it that way?  Putting up a blog post to make it seem like a lie and it's unreliable information is misleading as well.  If that's Phil's top sellers, why not make...

Very sad day.  I enjoyed reading his posts very much.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris' family and friends.

;D  Yep that's my point too.  I can't believe anyone would make an argument that they don't want to invest their own money and would rather the Govt. invest it.  If the Government knew anything about investing and protecting our funds, we wouldn't have to move the date that someone can retire on...

I'm not proposing that they get rid of social security because for most Americans that was THE retirement plan.  However, we MUST have a better system going forward.  We've proven with Social Security that the Government should not be running retirement accounts.  Personally, it's what has me...

What?  You think Social Security is a good idea compared to having your money into an account that you can have some say over the investment????  My 401k (like everyone's) has taken a beating over the past few years.  However, I still have money in it.  The date that I get Social Security on the...

Hats off to the young reporter.  I commend him for keeping an open mind.  The media is generally trying to push an agenda rather than going into their reports with an open mind.

This is just a guess as I don't have any numbers, but when talking about population growth - I'm guessing that most of the growth is not coming from the US.  This was a UN report, correct?  I would guess this could mean good things for exports provided the countries that are growing have the...

I wish I was smart enough to think of it.  LOL  All these years I've been voting for my favorite Republicans and I could have been voting for my least favorite Democrat.  Knabe you are a step ahead of me.  <beer>
