don't remember the video I had to send a check to the guy because they couldn't even take credit cards. Yes I did what the vet, ffa and 4-h advisors suggested. The trailer was my Idea. He had food, water and buy shifting him back and forth bedding changed daily. My idea was better than what...

I would actually prefer to buy from pasture sales. Some of the methods used in the past that I'm sure some still use today mess calves up and make them hard to train. Dope only helps while they are on it, Tractors or trucks dragging them only teach then that they can't get away while attached to...

There is a site www.customink.com. Not sure what all you can do, but they do t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, pens, etc. If you do use them, please let me know how you like them as I am looking at possibly using them.

I have spent time checking out other associations and have found some good ideas!! Thanks for your help. Now, I would like to know how many of you would like to join and from which state you are from. Thank you!!

Muddy, Is this association something you would be interested in joining? Thanks!

It will be a points accumulation club (with additional points for division winners, grand and reserve champs). I have talked to Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming contacts and they want more yearly shows for their youth. We are planning on having the same amount of shows for each state so...

Can you help me? I want to start a multi-state club calf association for Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. Can someone point in the right direction (bylaws and where to get sponsorships)? AND if anyone is interested in helping from these states, please let me know. I've got leads on...

Please come help out the family as they have helped so many in the showing industry.

I don't know if it could be applied online or not, but my favorite auction was set up in 2 parts. There was a silent auction in the morning to set the floor for the calves(they all started at the same price). The reserve was not shown until they started the auction in the afternoon. Calves that...

if you could find a large enough plastic model or toy of a cow maybe see if you could find some type of hair on animal hide or fur that can be spray adhesives on. I know they make some spray adhesives that are designed to be pulled back apart. Don't know what it would clip like but the cheapest...

The two things I would try to add to her is some bone and clean up that front 1/3 some.  I think that you have a great start there to help prevent the bottle neck the show industry is creating with only a couple of blood lines with 50,000 sons of those few blood lines being used. You want the...

I'm 6'4 been over 6 foot since 6th grade. Being tall can be a disadvantage as far as making cattle look shorter and smaller. It was an even bigger problem for me since i was showing through the 90's when height was in. On the other side if the person is working hard to make it not as noticeable...

My son is only 4 so not looking for steers yet. But I think he might be the ticket on some older bloodline maines I have that are a little tighter gutted then the want today for some females.

Starting to put together a list to order semen for the breeding season and wondering if chinook will be at major distributers in the next couple months.  Keep hearing hes freezing good and going to be available but never seems to be.

Actually Joe still has keystone and his pokemon bull in the tank. Along with a lot of old genetics that are hard to find. I know a year ago he was alking about selling everything in the tank and starting fresh, But last I knew he still had it.

had a buddy try my laubes yesterday while i was clipping my heifer down at nwss. He just bought a pair of 5 speeds. He liked the size and weight of the 5 speeds better. But said he liked the laubes better not 400 dollars better, but if I found another pair on craigslist for cheap to pick them...

I use to feel the same way about the price of some of these steers. But as time went on started seeing the value in it. I have never spent near that on a calf but today it is way easier to justify then ten years ago.  When people talk about only geting so much at a state fair or here or there...

personally never tried it, but know a guy that said he tried it when I brought up the idea to him. He said he didn't know if it was cause of the blood feeding the calf from cow,  the milk of the cow, or the extra room, but said he had some high dollar simi embryos that the calves took on the...

I would try to give a tube of cmpk gel seems to really give the down ones a boost. The most important thing is to get them up.  Since she has a calf I would see if the vet has a hip lift but it will be harder to lift a beef cow with it. I would lift her for a half hour twice a day minimum...

Its sad the way that some fairs try to even the playing field and all they are doing is making numbers go even lower. I went to  county 2 years ago to watch a friends daughter show. My friend is all about the kids and will help anyone who asks and is probably one of the better fitters out there...
