I have seen people pay more for less But a picture can only say so muc,h so maybe just maybe the calf looks incredible and they will sell it for $40,000+ this fall

I would dye the steer before the show Dye isn't paint, and don't tell anyone you are going to dye him because they can prove anything the dye doesn't wash out that easy so your not going to be able to tell after breaking him down and washing him in front of everyone The only reason mine came off...

I have some questions on ET, say if you put the embreyo in a cow that is know for throwing calves with a low birthweight will that effect the weight of the embreyo calf And can you put embreyos in holestiens

There is a lot to it, but you need to keep feed to her and keep as much hair on her as possible If you feed her right and fill her out nice you won't have to much more you could fix on the calf (as in flaws in her build) But what you can fix on the calf you can cover it with hair Hair doesn't...

I liked most of the bulls And I like a lot of the cows, it should be a good sale He built a very impressive herd

Tallcool1 what state are you showing in I'm in Indiana and that is how both shows are setup And to weigh in again this is my first year paying for everything except the feed If I want to go to an open show I pay for everything including the hotel, its very expensive And I screwed up earlier...

That's pretty neat and clever We recently put toggle switches oh our fan cage so we don't have to unplug our fans at shows to turn them off

Also watch to see if she is scratching on any sharp corners when you turn her out

That's how it's done, that's the best kind of win When you put in the hours and get good results
