    Angus "overload" was Danny Boy

    If you are interested in using him, I have 5 straws that I would work a good deal on.  I had plans to use a few straws to try him and and just never got the straws used up.  Please PM if you are interested in the semen.  Like I said, I'd work a good deal on it.

    papers on cattle purchased

    I honestly don't know.  That's subjective.  My definition of a good breeder would be one that does what he says he's going to do when he says that he's going to do it.  Also, I would think that a good breeder would follow up, honor his word, stand by his cattle, and generally be an advocate of...

    papers on cattle purchased

    I had this happen a few years ago on a bull I purchased.  It took about a little over a year to get the papers.  I had left messages for the breeder over and over.  The funny thing is the seller was motivated by the fact that he was trying to sell next year's calves.  So he called to see if I...

    4-H'er saves money to buy house

    You guys must not be involved with a lot of young adults?  Honestly take away how she won the money for a second or the fact that the money sounds like a lot for a county fair.  It's still remarkable to me that she saved the money AND had the sense about her to use if for an investment.  I...

    The Bull Entourage ( pic added)

    Actually the owner won Division at both KCY and Denver with an Entourage heifer this past year.  LTS Essence (link below to her pic).  I've seen a few calves this year at their place and I wouldn't hesitate to use him at all.  You said it best - he's the real deal.  They have some fairly average...

    The OTHER livestock supply company

    Before Nasco started selling Sullivan stuff they used to carry a 9" comb for $7 or $8.  I would buy several at a time.  The combs weren't as solid made as Sullivan's but hey I lose teeth on the Sullivan combs too.  So I would buy the cheap ones for daily use and save my good Sullivan combs for...

    DJ Salute vs. Mamma's Boy

    Here's a link to more information.  I have no clue how you go about getting a picture.  He raised some good ones though.  Sandeens used him quite a bit.  That might be a good starting point. http://www.cattle.com/semen/bulls/DJ+Salute.aspx

    Aluminum Groom Chute

    I recently saw a groom chute at a show that was aluminum and hinged to where in one motion you can pop it up into place and put the pins in.  I asked the family that was using it where they got it and they weren't sure.  That they had ordered this with some friends.  I thought I would ask on...

    How much longer till???

    I bet it will last at least a few years.  There were so many cows that went to slaughter the last few years due to high feed prices and combine that with greater exports and feedlot numbers being down -- I'm no economist here but I would sure think that would make us in line for a nice several...

    Manufacturing a steer

    I want to know who thinks of this stuff?  Pumping cattle full of air/oil, giving them cocaine, slicing and dicing them up.  I've always heard that it happens but every new thing is just unimaginable to me. What's next?????

    Competing against your customers?

    A comment in another thread got me to thinking about this question.  How many of you club calf breeders have kids that show?  If so, how do you handle competing against your customers?  I'm just curious.  I know that has to be balancing act and I"m just curious how some of you handle it.

    Centerville IJBBA Show

    Aren't most of these open show numbers down this year?  It always amazes me that the Beef Expo in the crappiest weather that Iowa has to give - has 1000+ calves jammed into that cattle barn with little to no room for tack or anything else and then most of these same calves won't travel 20-30...
