    Matt Leopold does ours, but we are much more Central Texas than you are.  His number is 512-595-1261.  He may go your way, or maybe ya'll can meet somewhere.

    Risk of buying a calf online

    Thanks for all the comments.  We bought the heifer.  She arrived just as pictured.  Were told she was shown twice, but she is very nervous, jumpy and doesn't lead very well at all.  Doesn't seem to know what a show stick is and she kicks!  Other than her demeanor we are pleased.  She had a 15...

    Risk of buying a calf online

    I know there are a ton of online auctions, but what are the risks of buying from an individual based on pictures and videos?  I'm looking at a heifer two states over, too far to drive. Buyer has sent quite a few pictures and videos. Anyone ever burned?  What are things I should look for or ask?

    show day feed questions?/Can you over feed Depth Charge?

    Anyone used Fitter 52 on heifers? Results?

    I've seen it advertised and would like to use it on a Char composite heifer that's a little sloppy up front.  Wondering if anyone has had any experience with it; how much did you feed, how long to see results?

    Garage roll flooring for trailer?

    Been looking at flooring options for our aluminum trailer.  Would love Werm but don't really want to spend that much.  Don't want to hassle with several individual mats,  I came across the garage flooring.  It states that it can be used in horse trailers.  I can get 7.5' wide and as long as 100'...

    Maine folks - need help selecting a bull

    I realize I'm not being very clear - Texas majors heifer classification list a requirement for Maines to be at least 75% to show as a Maine. Anything less would go in the ORB category. So I'm trying -if possible to get to that 75%. My cow is only 50%.
