    What nozzle do you have on the small hose?  I would use the nozzle for the double blower and not the single blower nozzle.

    Stampede champion steer disqualified

    I don't understand why there is any discussion.  The winners of this market steer show are terminal.  When a carcass is tested for drug residue and excedes allowable limits by law the carcass is tanked.  I don't know the law in Canada, but knowingly presenting something to slaughter without...

    JD 4450

    At first look, that is a really clean tractor, but the price seems on the high side.  I did a little looking around.  Here is a 4850 for 39900 with less hours, but not the same rubber. http://dubuque.craigslist.org/grd/3589935518.html

    Help with my steer

    I am not familiar with that feed. How much fiber does it have?  Is he getting any hay.  Good clean water supply.  Does he sort his feed at all?  How many feedings a day?

    American Pride

    I haven't seen much out of him yet. Only 6 calves registered right now.  I would expect Janssen's have some on the ground.

    What do I tell my Little girl

    This can be a tricky subject.  I cannot recall an instance with our show steers where I felt like I couldn't sell him.  I grew up on a diversified livestock farm, dairy cows, farrow to finish hogs, and crops.  From a very young age I knew what it meant to care for animal and at some point you...

    North Dakota State University for animal science...

    It all really depends on what you think you want to do after school, which will probably change 10 times between now and graduation.  Iowa State grads are highly recruited in pharmeceutical, meat, and swine businesses.  It all really depends if you want to be in production agriculture or the...
