Wow, he looks really nice and powerful. Has he had any offspring yet? I'd love to see some of the calves. Does he have a low birthweight? What about the calves?

Sorry, I have to agree. At this point I think you've waited too long. Even if you get her pretty much broke at home taking her to the fair grounds for the first time chances are she's not going to cooperate. I wouldn't take the risk of having anyone hurt. We've been working with our two 6 and 5...

We keep our cool room at about 50 degrees. They grow great hair. Refrigerator units scare the heck out of me. We knew someone who had one. It went down with their show cattle in it and they all died because there isn't anyway for air to come in. Be careful and check it several times while they...

You can put a creep feeder out anytime now.

We've actually had a blast showing our Sin City bull. He won Grand Champ Shorthorn Bull at Colorado State Fair when he was 6 months old! He's also showed at the Royal and at stock show. The hardest part for us has been keeping him contained. He's not mean but when one of the girls go into heat...

It's really hard to hear of all the people with terrible drought conditions. I'm sorry and will be praying for you to get some moisture.

He looks pretty good. I'd be brushing the heck our of him trying to grow some hair across the top to fill in the divots. Wish he was a little cleaner fronted and agree that I'd like to see him wider across the hips. Overall you've done a great job with him though. One of the benefits to growing...

I agree, let him grow and fill out a little before you decide. We have a great bull out of Sin City. He's had some amazing calves and the birth weights have been low.

I pretty much agree with everyone. I know when my daughter shows she'll take the show stick's pointy hook and gut the calf to get it to raise it's belly and flatten out it's back. Maybe give that a try. Also, I'd spread the back legs a little more, gives the calf a bigger rear end.

Nice heifers, congratulations. Just curious what weight the Grand and Reserve Champion Market Steers are coming in weighing at all the county shows?

We've bought a lot of hay from Torrington. I think a lot of people cut and their fields got rained on. There is a lot of cheap cow hay being sold. I'm just hoping with the bummer crop this year it will drive down the cost of hay. It's ridiculous what we have to pay for it out here. Thought it...

I think he looks really nice so far. He's smooth across the top, looks like he moves well. Big shouldered and lean. The only think I would say is maybe I'd like to see a bigger butt but I think you are on your way to having a nice competitive show pig. Good luck.

(lol) love the picture!!!! Now I've seen everything. Our dog does laps in the tank but the cow is priceless. You should enter it in a contest. It rained here at least three times yesterday and it was cold here last night. Haven't truly seen summer yet but it's suppose to be in the 90's this...

My son went last week and had a blast. The rivers are very full and running fast. Be careful. Unfortunately every year a few people loose their lives doing it. It's been interesting hearing about everyone. Thanks for contributing. Sorry there is so much drought around. I know it's tough to get...

My husband got a job offer in Midland-Odessa (sp?) My relatives lived in Crane for a long time. I told him how dry it was there and virtually no pasture land. That pretty much made up our minds about the job!

We live in Colorado about half way between Denver and Colorado Springs. I just can't believe how much rain we've gotten and we actually have tons of green grass not only in the lawn but in the pastures too!!!! Attached a picture that I took yesterday after we washed our daughter's heifer. Got to...

I would do what everyone else suggested as far as working with her and being around her. Take her for rides in the trailer. If possible take her to the fair grounds and let her walk around where she'll be and get use to it. Take which ever other cows that you are going to show with you too.

We use Revive too. I think it's less than 8.00 a can. Just make sure when you are blowing it in you don't blow it all out like you do with the water. Good luck.

            Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence ? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary...

We'll be working with the show cows as usual. Having friends over for dinner and going into town to watch the fireworks. I told my husband it's a good thing we plan a big annual pig roast every summer or we'd never get anything done around here. Oh yea, forgot we are stripping 9 years of ugly...
