If you notice his front end is kind of coarse, a lot of people would call him trashy fronted, overall just not really attractive fronted.  Its not a huge deal, for me its kinda like seperating the good ones from the great ones.  A set of clippers can do a lot to smooth that up if you have...

Stabilized Rice Bran is an excellent source of energy. So its basically gonna do the same thing as corn, only better in most peoples opinions. It will add finish and cover to your calves.  I dont know from my experience that it necesarily added the finish faster, but the calves I finished with...

Another thing is start introducing them to the stick as soon as you can. And let them out of their pen and walk them at least 2-3 times a week if not more.  I know evryone worries about pigs running away, but they wont, trust me they are going to come back to the food bowl. If anything you will...

Where are you showing? What is the competition like there? There are definately some faults with this calf, but he isnt horrible.  I have not only seen much lower quality steers than this show at county fairs, I have seen them win some. It just depends on where you are located and what the...

Time Time Time...pigs are naturally very social animals...if you spend enough time with them they will accept you.  They are also very curious and intelligent animals. Chasing them does absolutely no good. Get you a good book and camp out in the corner of the pen. They will come to you.  And as...

AWESOME Gert Bull....Maybe if there were more like him in the breed I would like the breed a little better.  Nothing big, and not knocking Gert people I have just never been a huge Gert fan.  I love the bone, squareness and thickness of this bull.  For a Gert, or any american for that matter, he...

I agree that its a fine line to walk, and the animals are to large to be pets.  But how many families that are new to showing get that first young, cute, cudly calf in and spend all their time rubbing, huggin, petting, etc.  That calf is going to start thinking of the people as its family, and...

There is a Chlostridium C & D Vaccine...I personally feel that all calves and goat kids should get it.  Like cowboy said, Chlostridium is in the ground EVERYWHERE!!!! So while they may not directly pick it up from this sick calf, chances are if he picked it up and your other calves are not...

I caution people about their cute calves all the time. Its great for one to have the personality where they want to be around you all the time.  And you can love on them and make them gentle, but at the same time you have to make them understand that there are boundaries that they can not cross...

Go to www.theshowbox.com for a list of upcoming Texas shows! Their listed under the "On The Road Again" tab.  Also join the TJLA for updates.  Off top of my head I know there are 2 shows coming up in Navasota. A steer and heifer show April 16 & 17 and a heifer show on April 30.  TJLA Camp is...

I think she is a nice heifer.  Gonna admit I wouldnt give $5000 for her, but thats because she just isnt what I am looking for.  To someone out there she is definately a $5000 heifer.  Price is very subjective.  It all depends on what group you are marketing one to. As far a her legs. I think...

Really nice set of calves...one that caught my eye that I didnt see anyone comment on was the 30Y...that little rip looks like he could be a beast in the hereford ring to me!!!! But they are all pretty nice!

You can sex for bulls, the process is called reverse sorting.  I dont think anyone is freezing sexed semen for bulls. The only time I have seen it done is for IVFs.

This is my opinion, and I obviously disagree with a lot of classifiers and they are all different one day to the next anyway. At the Houston barrow show, I watched 2 of the 3 classifiers kick a registered, obvious Chester to the crosses.  I mean this pig should classify anywhere anyday as...

Oooops...see I told you I am new, I thought Clint and JT were brothers! And I thought JT's reserve exotic last year was also reserve overall but now that you mention it, I remember the AOB being reserve.  No problem on the kind words, wouldnt say it if it were not true!

<rock> hope me and my brother can do the same thing a little west of you guys Will be there with bells on(not literally, lol) to watch you do it bro...dont let me down...gonna be in Navasota at least once in May with the heifer we bought from Doonan for the TJLA show.

I am in Nacogdoches County also, though I just moved here last yr and my show days are long in the past! I made it out to the steer show both years, and I am gonna tell you that the caliber of steers at this county show in what is a fairly small county is nothing short of amazing. The Reserve...

As you have probably seen in other topics. I am helping a family that is new to showing.  They are currently using some of my supplies, but they want to get their own stuff.  They need pretty much everything. Fans, Blower, Chute, Show Halters in good condition, etc, etc.  If the price is right...

Are the scales all you have left? Have a young family I know just buying their first calf and they could use pretty much anything. So if you can PM what you have and prices we could probably take it off your hands.
