USA Today coaches poll out now.....Florida #1 (surprise) Texas #2, OU #3. My Pokes start out at #11......ugh. Top 2 teams in our division ar 2 and 3. Makes it kinda tough to win championships when you have to play those 2 every year.

Hey Shortdawg, any chance you could come to the game? If so.....I promise you all the food and drink (cola, water, and adult beverages) you can stand before and after the game at our family's tailgate. Tickets though.....well you're on your own. No single game tickets for this game. If you want...

Anybody else glad that the upcoming season is less than a month away? I'm not a baseball fan, so it's been much too long since college basketball was over. Who's your team? How do you expect them to do? Who's your rival? Who do you open up with, and where? Oklahoma State Cowboy fan here. We...

Might I suggest NC or NW Oklahoma. Pretty good place to live. Lots and lots of Mayberrys here.

I live in a pretty small town in NC Oklahoma. Population 800. My wife and I have thought about buying $30-$40K houses and rent them to school teachers for $500-$600 a month. It seems like there's always a coach or 2 that will stay for a couple of years, and then go on. Looks like it would work...

Knabe- Your point  is well taken, but you are missing the point of my whole argument....I clearly stated it once, as did a few others. Did I ask anyone's opinion on whether or not I should use Ace? No, I didn't. I asked merely if droopy ears and rales were a side effect. If that translates in...

First of all, this calf was just like any other weaned calf from a herd that has had daily human interaction. He was somewhat calm, and had even been tied up a couple of times. My son, who was 7 at the time, was leading him in a pen by day3......yes, day 3. As he got bigger, he got more...

Please either answer the question, or drop it DL. How do YOU deal with problematic dispositions in show cattle that your children show or have shown? Did your kids just deal with it themselves? Did you deal with it by culling the calf and picking out another? I really want to know. I think you...

DL and Showheifer, ever have this kind of a problem with one of your children's animals?? Let me know how you dealt with it; I'd really like to know. Also, I was merely asking for advice. Not your approval. If this is so illegal, why was I able to go to a vet supply store and buy it over the...

First off, I never said that I was given the ace by the vet, and in fact I wasn't. Secondly,(for those of you that didn't catch it the first time I posted it) this is a fall-born steer that will be 1 year-old in September, so there is alot of time to work with him, and get him calmed down befor...

Thank you to all the people that are concerned. First of all, this evening I got ahold of the vet. I got 25cc of Baytril that I will give him first thing in the morning. He said that should clear him up in 2-3 days. I'm sorry I ever brought up the whole ace thing. I never meant to do any harm...

This afternoon, we went out to walk the steers since it was such a nice afternoon. I noticed that my son's steer's ears were a little droopy. When I got closer to him, his breathing was somewhat labored, but not bad. I thought that it was because of the humidity and no wind. After we walked them...

I am addicted to this website. My wife says that I'm a sick, sick man. I see several of you breeders talking about bulls and females. I really enjoy reading all the discussions about all the quality cattle you guys and gals raise, and especially the pictures of cattle you raise or buy. Here's...

I bought 2 in early May. I finally got them put up on Memorial Day weekend. They have not been turned off since. They are hung on the open end of a loafing shed, so they are somewhat in the weather. I have had no problems with them since I installed them. I plan to take them down this fall...

Try Shire Signs in Wichita. They do a great job. They did a couple for me last month. The owner's name is Gail Shire. He does things right, as well as quickly. I'd bet with you being in Ulysses, if you email what you want to him, it will be in your mailbox within a week or less. His phone number...

Jerry and Veda are class acts. Many of the instructors are either FFA instructors, or club calf breeders, or both. The main thing is, they're not just there to get a paycheck. They are there to help mold people. They wil push the kids to the limit, mentally and physically. They'll give 'em a...

Are you talking about Chet Purvine?? He raises good cattle. I wish I had some grass to make a home for a few of his females.

My wife and I went to Conners State College in Warner, OK yesterday to pick up our daughter from Jerry McPeak's "Be A Champ" show cattle camp. They worked her hind end off for 3 days, and Saturday was the show day. She and her partner won 2nd place in their age group for grooming. She didn't...

Zach- those are some very nice looking calves (steers and heifers both). I wish mine had the neck that your 2 tone steer has.I found a SS steer that looks very close to my daughter's. He has been advertised on here. It's at turnerclubcalves.com. If we needed another steer, I would seriously...

My daughter has an end of August SS steer that we bought from an ad on SP. Muscle, bone and hair is about the best way to describe him. He just needs his neck extended and some leather cleaned up on his front. Other than that, we have really high hopes for him. I'll try to get some pictures of...
