    best recipient cows for embryos

    I have never used em, but know a guy that crosses Brahman, Shorthorn, Angus, and Simmis with Holsteins to produce recip cows and the people I know that have put embryos in them have been really pleased.  The best ones I have ever actually used where Braunveigh on Commerical Angus

    Steer Confusion...

    I would agree, I do think he looked pretty straight in the older pic as well, but I definately can tell he is worse now.  I am the type that never tells someone to haul their project to the salebarn prior to the show unless they just absolutely are not gonna make it to show weight, so I would...

    Warm season pasture helps during droughts

    I cant think of any herbicide you could spray that wouldnt kill the trefoil...and most of them are gonna reak havoc on grass as well.  I dont think its the fact that the grasses are warm season though that helps with you drought, I think its more the fact that some of those grasses are much more...

    Ivormec Injectable given IM or Sub Q

    SQ...never deviate from manufacturers suggestion unless a vet tells you to do so...there are differences other than speed of delivery.  Such as pain, abcess, etc...Ivermectic BURNS, and while I am not sure about the specific reasons ivermectin is administered SQ a lot of SQ drugs have a much...

    Bulls walking/tracking ability

    Well in terms of functionality, of course they have probably had to much feed.  Dont most show calves get way more feed than the ones we have in the pasture expecting to do a job.  We dont show cattle with their working britches on.  Those older bulls in the shows that are breeding age, they are...

    Bulls walking/tracking ability

    I watched the video as well and understand what your saying...from my years of experience showing and handling several bulls and judging shows.  I would say it was possible a lot of these bulls probably walked better in their classes.  I really only saw a lot of paddle footing and I didnt think...

    opinions on Calberta Hustler steer

    well this pic is pretty far away and I have a hard time judging how much base width he has, but I will say that he looks really fancy and has some good lines on the profile...but I think he needs more depth and dimension from end to end...to me he appears to be a really growthy/leggy steer who...

    Poll Hereford Bull

    I think he is a really nice bull, love the bone and raw power he shows.  I dont think he is to round in his hip at all, especially not for the Polled Hereford breed, I just dont think he has the abundance of hair that those of us here in the U.S. are used to seeing on one with a halter on him. ...

    Hereford Heifer - Opinions?

    I really like this heifer...I think she balances very well, has good bone substance, appears to be very thick and wide based and has a lot of rib dimension and depth of body...how is she bred?

    how many cattle?

    It all depends on the company you are talking about.  You have to remember these "big time show companies" became "big time show companies" by having quality not quantity!  I know you see them all selling numerous calves, but some of them have just 4 or 5 really nice cows and they are flushing...

    Okay, I am stupid about this but......

    I dont see where most adhesives would be banned by this rule.  Most adhesives that I know of will leave no residue in the meat.  Dye would be the most common culprit for being absorbed and leaving residue in the meat and that is specifically banned by your show.  Aerosals are ok according to...

    4-H project Brangus Heifers

    It is pretty safe with all breeds these days, including the Americans, unless the breed has a rule about slicking or laying the hair down, then put hair on them.  Beefmasters and Brahmans at breed sanctioned shows are required to show with the hair laying flat to the body, not sure about the...

    Ft Worth heifer judge

    I have always liked Terri as a judge.  If you were to see her judge Herefords I think she would pick em just like her family raises.  She is really big on breed character, but in a heifer show a judge should be! I have also noticed her being big on heifers being clean fronted, feminine, lots of...

    Steer opinions please.

    AMAZING job with this steer.  I would have never guessed it was the same steer you posted a few months ago!  Sure he has the holes you have mentioned but I think he should do just fine for your school district show!

    ft worth steer to pick on

    I actually think you should have a pretty good shot at classing American...if you have a half-way decent classifier that is.  To many people only look for 3 things when trying to class americans...1. Lots of extra leather on the neck..2..big floppy ears...3. a big droopy navel...but there is so...

    opinions on market show steer

    I dont think anyone has told her that corn and oats are a bad part of any diet, but like you said it has to be balanced...we have all recomended a complete feed, like the show feeds, because they are pre-balanced to meet the needs of animals at this stage of development and growth.  There are...

    Opinions on this Tyson Heifer-PICS ADDED.

    Really long heifer that appears to have some natural power to her....maybe to coarse fronted and short necked for me though!

    opinions on market show steer

    I completely agree with everything that has been said...yes you can maintain cattle on corn, oats, and hay...but you cant do that and get good gains.  Another thing we dont know about your feed...are you feedinge rolled or flaked corn and oats, or are you feeding them whole.  Even if you use the...

    Opinions On Steer?

    He is a really nice steer, right where he needs to be, and $2000 is definately more than fair for that guy.  Someone should snatch him up pretty quick I would think
