Can you PM prices and location for these heifers please?

Can you PM price and location on this heifer please?

Could you PM me price and location on this heifer please?

Super nice steer, got some power, got some depth, and definatley appears to have been fed/finished right!  The major point of contention for me is the front legs which everyone has pointed out.  And naturally with front leg issues he looks to be a little coarse in that shoulder and shorter in...

Of course they will pay more for the yearling bull.  Most of these big producers are going to do a pre-breeding season vet work up on the bull.  Make sure they are sound, clean of any disease, and fertile before turning them out and realizing when nothing gets bred that he was sterile.  It takes...

After further review, even in your pic there are no warts on the show side, and those on the off side could be hidden! the one on the face could easily be covered by the halter and with paint on a black calf they are hideable unless someone is really looking!  I am sorry to say but from pics I...

I dont know anything about the heifer, but have to wonder, was the heifer stolen or something? Seems someone would have heard about it if it was and I hadnt heard, so just wondering. Being nosey I guess?

I tend to agree...she is green, but I dont see a whole lot of show ring potential in her, but she appears sound and growthy, so throw her in the herd and see what she does.  as far as what to use, I think there are a lot of ways to go with her, but I think I would agree with ShowStopper and say...

I think that commercial producers have good reason to spend more money on a herd sire than do most purebred producers.  Most purebred producers are using AI more than natural cover, so that herd sire  generally only covers cows/heifers that dont settle AI, thus the herd sire doesnt affect as...

I was supposed to be fitting 2 young Brangus heifers for a lady's granddaughters from Louisiana during the Open Brangus show at Houston on Saturday, but a family emergency is going to require me to be in Louisiana this weekend and I wont be able to be there.  The fitter's I know wont be in...

Thats why I was asking when it is!!! I am gonna try and make it down!

I vote Durham Red!!!! And a good one to!!!

I agree with chambero, if your asking which one is going to win, I think it is way to close to call in these pics! I dont think either of them have any big issues from this view and if you do say something it is getting really nit picky.  Not starting arguments, but I think the yellow jacket is...

The big concern with feeding Ractopamine hydrochloride to any species is going to be getting them covered and keeping them sound.  I have never seen it affect anythings temperement negatively, but I have also never fed it to any cattle.  Ractopamine changes metabolism at the cellular level and...

Its an actual cut of almost $30 million...the House passed a Continuing Resolution over the weekend which includes the cuts. The Senate votes on this CR on March 4th.  And this cut is to the CURRENT fiscal year.  Other cuts in this resolution will also affect organizations like FFA, FBLA, FCCLA...

I talked to my friend, he said he did see some increased weight gain in the steers he fed it to, but he wouldnt feed it anymore than the last 40 days on feed!  He said his disagreement with the OptaFlexx reps was that they claimed they could see "some slight improvement upon visual appraisal". ...

Explode is Paylean(Raptopamine).  It was designed as a supplement for pigs to increase the rate of lean muscle gain.  I know a guy who got his PhD from Mississippi State and his research work was in feeding Raptopamine to steers.  I dont recall him having any negative results feeding it,but I...

I think they are both very complete steers, for me I think the edge goes to the Yellow Jacket though.  The Yellow Jacket obviously has more substance to his bone, and from looking at these side profiles I would say that he also looks like he probably has more natural base width and power.  The...

Another STOUT one...I am liking the way they are looking so far!

I think around 1400 is around where they are wanting them to finish most places. I know some places are finishing them bigger but I was at a big feeder a few months back and they were telling us that their biggest market for meat was the boxed beef program where they box the quarters and ship...
