I'm soo jealous of all these fat butt calves...we tried sexed semen in may. She was confirmed but I guess with the extreme heat she absorbed it or something. Ya'll post pictures when they get on the ground. Can't wait to see them. (clapping)

We have a cow that did the same thing this summer. We didn't realize she was doing it. Got a nasty case of foot rot too.

Our steer last year did the exact same thing...we started him on vita charge paste and it worked really well.

Question for the showmanship experts: We have a march heifer that is high headed, I'm talkin nose in the air... She travels good and covers her tracks, but she wants to pull that head way up.  It doesn't look natural.  It really messes up her lines when you get her on the profile. She gets tied...

We have two show heifers that are 1/2 sibs and they both do that when they are being shown.  They both cover their tracks and are sound and yes they are lazy, they put the L in lazy! Every cow we ever had that had foot rot would limp or give to the infected foot and it does have an odor to it. ...

Yes there are at least where I live there is. I count myself blessed. We have been showing for 7 years and have dealt with 2 breeders in that time. Both have been so great to us. I hope we can do the same thing for someone someday. Sorry about your bad experience.

Watched Wes Hudson judge the brangus jr show at Ft Worth a few years ago and when he talked his reasons on one class he said, "if I was killing cows I would start with this one." Ouch!!

I think that was to me because I had a type o in Vietnam. I think there are just some things that should be made here.  For example our flag should not be made in another country, and neither should The Future Farmers of America jackets.  That is my opinion and it is not racist. If you think...

Ever looked at the tag on a FFA jacket....assembled in Vietman....sick >:(

He's judging Ft Wort, right?? We were told to bring something maternal.  He judged the scramble heifer show in Houston 2 years ago, I think.  Does anyone have anymore input??

Not trying to be a hard head but what does "feeders or leaders" mean exactly??   @ bk2005 that P.O.S. is an AG teacher.....he carries a little notebook around and he writes down anything "he" thinks is unethical or questionable. But what is funny to me is he never bothers the people that don't...

The reason for my question is, we have someone in our county that is basically harassing us about this issue. He will do stuff like cornering our kid at shows when we are not around. Our cattle stay at our house 24/7,and we do all the day to day work, feed/rinse/blow dry/clip etc. But for the...

There are a couple of posts on here asking questions about fitters so here's mine... is it unethical to have a fitter or someone that helps at a jr. show? I know what the rules say, but the barn at ft worth is filled with people that make their living fitting other peoples cattle. What is...

Does anyone have any news on the maine show? Have they started the purebreds yet? Is there anywhere on the net to watch it?

We tried the lectra shave and it seemed to have some type of skin conditioner in it that felt a little oily so we cut it with alcohol. It did give a nice sheen to the hair though. The heifer we are using it on has horrible hair, probably the worst we have ever had. We normally use a mixture of...

Has anyone heard of using a mens pre-shave on cattle to make the hair pop?  It is a liquid men put on their face to make the whiskers stand up before they shave.

Our school is giving the TAKS test the same week as the Houston jr heifer show...

What are some things you do to keep your calves looking fresh when they are on the road for back to back shows for an extended period of time?

We have a pb simmi heifer and would like to breed her to an angus bull to get a 1/2 blood show prospect. She's pretty moderate in her frame,deep flanked,alot of rib shape. She needs to be cleaned up through her brisket and neck and she falls off behind her shoulders a tick.She needs something a...
