Whats the age and weight on this guy? And what are you asking for him? I actually think he is a pretty nice steer!  Really strong, level topped, really square, seems to be adequate in his natural ase width, and he has a super long, clean, eye appealing front to him,  only area I might knock him...

I think she is plenty thick for a Gert...I really like the square hip and levelness of her...now this part is just my opinion, others may disagree, but I think she is a lot more stylish than most of the Gerts I see, but I honestly dont see a whole lot of gerts for some reason...I do agree that...

I thought you had it won to when he pulled you into the final line up...and I cringed when I noticed you didnt have a comb when he ruffled her hair...but dont feel to bad...I think it was great to be pulled in that top 5 because in that class of 15 there were about 10 of you who could have...

Show Stopper I think you are going to have a lot of fun with both of those steers at a county show. I really like the black calf for an American in a slick show. And well I have always liked that yellow calf since the first pic you ever posted of him and I think he is going to slick out really...

Blow and Go!

The biggest difference between wormers is which parasites they target.  While most pour ons have some efficacy on external parasites such as lice and mites.  Some studies show a smaller lever of affect on external parasites from even injectable Ivomec.  True  Ivomec probably has more widespread...

I agree completely, while there is a fine line between being arrogant and being confident, you have to be confident when you walk in that ring.  Walk in like you own the place, but have some common courtesy towards others in the ring.  The most important thing is knowing your calf and knowing...

Our show in Nac typically gives buckles for the champs...buckets and T-Shirts go to breed or class winners, but the champion steers and champion heifers typically get buckles...we cant really afford to give a buckle to every class winner...we will not be giving buckles this year though...in...

I have loved this Brahman bull since the first time I saw him...he is a man among boys in my opinion of the Brahman breed...but I wouldnt go as far as to say that you will never see a Brahman that square and stylish....V8 has been producing them like this for years...and there are several other...

I have had several calves in my time do this.  Like others have said it is most likely just a temper tantrum and not really passing out.  A lot of calves want to flop over, some will flip all the way upside down, when you start to tie their heads up the first few times.  No most of them will...

I dont know about everyone else, but this last sentence made me really think that some Maine people are mad because Wes didnt play their politics game.  I saw pics of the calves the won in the Maines at Louisville, and I heard that people were not happy with the judges placement, I didnt realize...

I use Double Dip(or a mixture of Vinegar and Main and Tail Conditioner) on days that I soap the calves, I think it helps cut any shampoo that may accidentally get left in.  I use Clean Sheen all other days, except I may use Revive once a week or so. In the last 2 weeks leading up to a show I...

Well I am pretty sure Monopoly produced the most State Fair winners this year, but he is a Heatwave.  So I think you have to give Heatwave a lot of credit there because a lot of the winners can be tracedback to him somewhere. I dont think Smilin Bob has anything on the ground yet, but I for one...

Well unfortunately its the way our market which runs on a system of supply and demand works...when supply isnt great enough to meet demand, the price goes up...basically the hotels in the DFW metro know that there are not enough hotels in the area for everyone that needs a room to get a...

Its absolutely true all the way around...excess fat can definately retard a heifers productivity...but vissually a heifer with a little fat looks better, and a show judges decision is most of the time based solely on visual appraisal, so naturally the calves with some fat look better.  I dont...

You always have to be careful adding fat to a diet. To much fat can be trouble in many ways.  Fat in the diet can actually be an appetite limiter, meaning the higher percent of the ration that is fat, the less the animal will want to eat.  As someone already mentioned, we dont know the staage...

Ft Worth rooms are VERY EXPENSIVE this year, its because the Superbowl is in Arlington right smack in the middle of Ft Worth so the DFW area is gonna be a MADHOUSE. Hotels are more expensive because the demand for them during that time more than doubled this year!

One trick is after you wash and rinse, use the water hose to train the hair.  Blow the hair forward just like you would with the blower.  Water actually seperates the individual hairs better than a comb, brush, or the blower would, and a lot of times these curls or waves are from the hair...
