I am not exactly sure what your saying here??? What did you find to be interesting? The fact that roans get discounted at the sale barn? I dont think you can blame that on the shorthorn breed.  One you can attribute blacks doin well at the sale barns and markets to the Angus Association, and not...

I am not saying there isnt corelation.  A lot of the carriers also possess the good genes so yes most, but not all carriers are gonna be stout good looking cattle.  We can pick the carriers because the genetics that pass on the gene also pass on the stoutness and hair.  You would have a harder...

I think there was some miss in the understanding of what he was saying also.  He wasnt saying that 11A was he greatest lot in the sale.  He was saying he liked the damn(lot 11) as a donor buy.  I think conclusions are being drawn off that one calf, stop and remember that cow is 8 yrs old, so...

I want to appologize for the gramatical errors in my above tangent.  LOL. For some reason my keyboard last night decided that some of the keys should be touchy.  The joys of an ancient laptop.  Anyway I thought I had caught all the mistakes but just realized there were a lot of missing h's and...

We were going to go, but seeing as we have all been off a lot lately for shows, and most of us around here are having to work a lot of weekends lately.  That weekend happened to be the best for most of us to take off, however since we know we are tryin to find steers this yr, and arent sure if...

I think you hit the nail on the head in this statement.  I know many will argue with me, and will tell me I am an idiot and do not know how anything works when I say this. But I have a college education in this type of thing so I am still fairly confident in my stance on it, at the same time I...

Yep...a lot of good calves got sent home, and there were a lot of good ones left standing in the drive.  Not because Hoge did anything wrong picking them, because there were just that many good ones.  I think Hoge found the steer that worked best for him, and in my opinion was the one that...

Like I said, I like the way the program runs and agree with why they did it that way.  The amount of scholarship available through Houston and these programs is incredible.  As was stated they instituted this program in '93 and the buyers have been well aware of where their money is going.  I...

Where are you showing at?  Here are some pointers.  You should be blowing him and working hair everytime ou rinse him.  Its ok to leave them a little damp when they are going under fans, but if they are wet to the touch then they probably arent going to grow hair very well.  Beyond the cooling...

I think the theory behind what they are doing is great.  What I think has failed is the management of it.  Like Chambero said they instituted this policy in 1993.  The theory behind putting in a slotted sale was that they would be able to fund scholarships, their #1 in the county(in my opinion)...

Congrats to Kannon Acker...Champ Charolais just slapped Grand Champion in Houston.  For Reserve he went back to the Reserve Charolais...I didnt catch the girls name...But 2 really nice steers to win it.

To me I think Hoge pics steers the way they are supposed to, and I think he is great with the kids in the ring.  I think he has done an amazing job sorting these classes, and explaining it so that the kids and spectators both know exactly why they placed where they placed.  Sure he wants one...

Online defamation acts only protect you from libelous suits in the fact that the person filing suit for defamation is assuming you are talking about them but there is not enough proof in the statements or actions to prove it.  In this instance they gave enough information for everyone to know...

Oh no...this calf was just born in January, so he would need to be for a 2013 show.  Once we get him bounced back from loosing his mama I will get some pics of him.

We were there last weekend with my roommates students and nieces and nephews heifers.  We were gonna try and make it down today to watch the show, but other than the ones on spring break the rest of us couldnt get off work and on top of that, one of the old show heifers bogged down trying to...

That heifer came out of Bloombergs herd, and is most definately Simmental.  And she has been cleaning house most of the year.  I dont like a cheater anymore than anyone else, but that heifer is just flat good.  I have no connection with Rash, the Gey family, or any of the others involved.  That...

The thing with Texas is you can never single out a specific steer to beat when heading to a show.  There will be a way more steers there good enough to win it all than there are even spots in the champion drive.  The shows get really tough and really deep down here.  I would say it ussually...

The thing I always tell people about the commercially bagged feeds is this.  Sure there are differences in the feeds themselves, but when it comes to quality, across the board they are pretty even.  The difference in my opinion comes from the dealers.  When you are looking for a new feed, go to...

Seeing as your screenname is SFAJacks I am assuming you are in East Texas.  The heavy oils and conditioners like Revive, the "puddings" etc are really to heavy in the heat and humidity that we have here in East Texas, they can quickly burn the hair right off of them.  I generally just use a...
