Thanks for all the compliments. I need to re-evaluate my conformation judging. I really don't like the grey heifer, lol. The one in the photo beside her is out of a herd bull (angus) x beb juneau/hotspot. She had an awesome sister last year. Shithead is the one that I posted the question about a...

Some more

Let's see which ones you guys like the best. The small ones are aprils and the bigger ones are late february. No grain, irrigation or supplements beside minerals.

I think he has a loose connection in his brain somewhere, he can see me pretty well in the field, lol. Here he is. He hasn't been on the dam for about 7 days and hadn't eaten much for four prior to this photo. The neighbor has a strong kid that might take him. The annoying thing is that I just...

We worked up cows today and I just decided to kick him out. He's not mellowing out at all, I'm more concerned about what would happen if I get him broke and a kid takes him home.  I had some really good calves in the corral today that I should have brought in instead of him. Lesson learned. This...

His name is "the little bastard", lol. I went out tonight and tried my usual approach, sat on the hay bale to see what he would do. Up and down the fence he went. Watching me with his head up the entire time. I don't think my usual tactics are going to work on this one, I'm thinking more old...

I like the tarp idea, I was considering plywood so he can't see the outside. I'm going to pick up some grain today just to see if that will help. I don't have a friend for him that is tame so I put in the mini horse and she just kicks the crap out of him everytime he runs to her so that was an...

I'll see what I can do, the barn is pretty dark and the most recent one I have is from April. He ate some hay tonight so a little progress......

I banded him myself, at a week old, so that's not it.  What about feed additives, similar to ace, or something like that.  When you ace a calf and break him are they broke or do they remember anything after the ace wears off? He's just the weirdest calf, just wants to run the fence and doesn't...

So I have been breaking steers now for about 17 years. Sometimes they will break sometimes you need to put them on the truck. I have a Grizzly steer that I have been pretty excited about in the barn right now. He has been in there since Sunday night. When I go out to look at him he runs the...

If you aren't already, feeding three times a day will help get a better gain

There's got to be some way she can show it off in the first showmanship round, and not do it in the finals. That would be awesome

lol, you and I are in the same boat. I sold him the heifer, she is out of a basin angus bull we do not know his lineage, his eartag fell out. Her dam is 3/4 simmental and 1/4 limmy. The heifer is standing stretched because her hooves are long, it's not how she naturally stands, the red cow is...

isn't fasttrack awesome. I have heard of people using it to lose weight. Not sure if it worked, that person was obese for quite some time, but it helped pack on pounds with our steers. I used to feed it with medicated salt. The vet claims that it helps them digest better (medicated salt). We...

Just do this and stop giving all the additives, tomorrow morning only feed hay, tomorrow night only feed hay (no grass), thursday morning give him half his ration, WITHOUT all the topdress and additives, just the grain. Put bakingsoda in the bottom of his pan so he has to eat the grain to get to...

I wouldn't worry about the heifer too bad, heifers tend to be, for lack of a better phrase, stupid. And they will hide their calves and forget about them until their bag gets tight. Just check on the calf in the morning and evening and make sure he is up and looks good. It's hard to tell with...

crap, he has a nice mom, so maybe there is hope. The bull was only in there for a week, we think he jumped in when they came into heat and they were not at my house so I didn't get to do a heat watch

I have a father that lovest the phrase "told you so" that in mind, I did use upgrade sexed seman on three year olds this year, and a heifer. All the people I discussed him with said he has consistent calves and they aren't over 80lbs at birth. I'm pretty excited about next year and not worried...

Here we go, I think the winner is mercedes benz, what do you think?
