    What breed is best for someone who wants to start into raising show animals?

    If it's going to be strictly for show calves, go with char-maine-sim-ang..... I tell you what, the calves I have on the ground from this cross are amazing. Have had a few lookers, calves are still to young to go, and they have been impressed! Laying claim to several calves, and the heifers are...

    USDA says grassfed cattle are more environmentally friendly than feedlot cattle

    A comments struck me.... The type of grass. We do grass fed for our customers, some of which are big restaurants in the city (giving them a local market vs their out of country choice) Using our beef as specialty dinner, specially prepared. Anyways, not the point. Grass fed beef should be on...

    Saying Goodbye...

    I agree with the loading, have someone else do it. It's so hard. I remember one of my years a good friend who showed limi's, was a guy, was just as emotional loading his steer as us girls. It's just hard! Nothing you can do to make it easier, we are human with emotions.

    How to keep calf calm in ring?

    My opinion is..... Play a radio all day long, put her in a high traffic area, dogs, kids, vehicles, ect. Do you live in town, how fast ics it too the nearest park? Seriously, she needs to be desensitized. Go back to the basics and work her hard, and expose her to as much as you can. Calm calf is...

    68.... I'm not getting this. Every judge is entitled to their opinion. Take their opinion for granted and move on. Don't continue beating a dead horse, trying to get what you want, the damn horse is dead. As an adult you should nice this by now, not everything goes your way. Teach your children...

    New Purchase...

    I would definitely buy bred. No ifs or ands. A heifer calf is going to have to wait to breed then the nine months for calving, 2.5 yrs. I have had great luck finding cows and heifers on craigslist, with great pedigrees, and some were ex show projects that kids just didnt want. Coming into...

    Fitting and question on a chute.

    Adhesive is like hair spray.... Spray a little and work, bit more and work. Practice before hand. Make sure that the leg hairs are brushed as well as the body. Every inch of hair had to be worked. Very clean legs are very important with the adhesive, also depending on the amount of hair and...

    Knabe - San Francisco looks to ban the sale of all animals

    I am all for eliminating the over run animal shelters, and the horrible horrible puppy mills. If making it law in one city effects the population statewide, great. Three only problem is that if it passes, other cities will follow suit, then where will we be. The state will have to start...

    Corrupt system

    I'm going to go out on a limb and risk being dumb. I have nothing to lose at this point.. Lol Ron Paul - the man who is going to "change the world".... Who else is there? Obviously Obama had done us no good. Our world is crumbling at a high rate, and understandably he's not the sole person to...

    Steer off feed ... Any tricks??

    Is he getting hay? Pull all grain, only allow oat/grass hay. Get roughages moving through his gut. Ley the grain move out. Keep him off grain for a couple days.... Then slowly go back. You may not be able to push him that hard. They really can't utilize all the grains like we really want them...

    Opinions welcome

    I like her hip... Something about her neck and head, throat latch is a bit thick. I personally don't think she exemplifies what a female should look like, more of what a steer should. I think with some profile pics we could get a better idea of her depth, and frontend.
