We have done clinics around our area and one thing we always tried to emphasize is to work with your calf everyday. Around here people seem to think you can start working with them the week before the fair and win the show. Then when they get beat by a family that does things right they start by...

(lol) I never realized watching a checkers game could be so entertaining!  (pop)  <beer>  (argue)

Firesweep that is exactly why I don't use it to brand. Because you can't squeeze with it and I hate blotched brands. This is our chute we built loaded on the carrier.

Muddy, if you are planning on being in this business very long a chute like CANsteer pictured is the only way to go. Whether you buy that brand or build your own. We use ours ours for clipping everything from calves to bulls, vaccinating, preg testing, AIing, etc.,everything but branding. We...

Whenever we take cattle to a sale for someone we get paid day money, expenses, and for clipping but no commission. From time to time if they have a good sale they sometimes give us a bonus. I wouldn't ask for or expect a commission but hopefully they will appreciate your work and give you a...

Will he downsize?

Sorry to change the subject but was curious how you did with the steer you showed last year.

I would cut that flap off with a scalpel. Make sure it bleeds a little. We always do that to horses that get cut up and can't be stitched up.

Wow, I must be ahead of my time. When I posted that it said 12001 members now it says 11910. I must have been on Pacific time. ???

Congrats Jason you just hit 12000 members! Way to go.

I learn something new every day. My family has been in the Thoroughbred racing business since the late 1940's and have never heard of a Palomino Thoroughbred. On the apps. for papers from the Jockey Club are the color choices of Bay, Dark bay or brown, Chestnut,Black or Roan. New one on me. ...

jaime, that stud isn't a Thoroughbred is he?

Both are meant to be fed for approximately 3 weeks at the very end of the feeding period (there's a three day withdrawal). There is no withdraw on Optiflex. Optiflex is fed the last 30 days while Zilmax is fed the last 21 days with a 3 day withdraw period. Optiflex won't muscle one up like...

I wouldn't worry about it. The clear stuff is her plug starting to dissolve.

Is something wrong with the spell checker? When I try to use it all I get is a blank screen. I need all the hep I can get spelin. (lol)

I agree with CAB I would buy a new one if at all possible. You never know what problems someone might be having with a tank.

Sometimes you have to just walk away with your head held high and chalk it up to experiance no matter how bad it hurts. Had a similar experiance with my sister many years ago. I got bullheaded and wasn't giving in. Wish I had kept my mouth shut and gave in because she won't hardly speak to me...

EDJE shows they are covering several breeding shows but it doesn't say anything about the steer show.

Congats Jason. Get yourself a gun to clean to make a good impression on that "FIRST DATE". (lol)
