How can a layman tell the difference in bacterial vs. viral pneunomia and which drugs work best in each case.  Thanks.

What fun!!!! Anyway, I think you may have a problem with the cow also and maybe it't not a learned behavior; maybe it's genetic.  Some breeds are more aggressive than others and possibly you have a bad genetic combo going.  But, generally speaking, (and I would never dream of saying I'm an...

Interesting discussion.  The price of a calf is pretty much like your age, its just a number.  I have generally found that the more we pay for a calf, the more we can be disappointed.  It's a heck of a lot more fun and educational to put in some time and look for those diamonds in the rough. ...

do you have other calves for sale as well as this monopoly? 

Have you sold this guy?  Do you have any contacts to get him shipped west?  My son might be interested but we would have to get him to NM.  I'll talk with him tonight.

price and location please.

This is one of those great topics that can go on for days. I have to admit, I've been around the barn a few times (and through the pasture and over the fence) to be "mature" enough to not really give a hoot how other people run their operations.  If they have the money to spend, let them.  I...

Go to the Honor Show Chow site and there is all types of info regarding how much to feed your steer.  If you don't like what you  find, send them a question.  I have done that in the past and recieved quick and usable responses.  I will tell you that a calf will process only so much fat and...

This is why you must read your rules very carefully.  I live in the SW and at our county, you can paint the legs, but you cannot change the color or markings of the animal.  Also you may not use paint above the hocks.  With these rules, you can dye a black calf that has the reddish tint a deep...

did he go off at the price shown on the sale page?  or is there some additional bidding?  really curious how the internet sale is working for everyone.

I get to be the first!!!  Goody.  I really like the calf and boy is he a limi.  He is muscled and trim and will hang a carcass but doesn't grow hair that great.  I think you did a very good job. Looking toward next year, my recomendation would be to look at crossbred calves that do not display...

my computer did something weird so if you get two of these, just ignore.  Anyway, we will be looking for a good spring born soon and are in southern CO.  do you have any of those hanging around? Thanks

Oh honey, you have much to learn!  Bid offs allow for you not to have to sit around that table all night.  Thats what cell phones and one well placed cell tower are for.  Also, many of those sales will not end for days.  So be patient and have some fun.

This is not a UTI but may be what you are looking for. http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/index.php?topic=21292.0

We had a calf at our county show just a few weeks ago that had this problem.  Actually, his problem started last spring with what some people I believe call "water belly".  Anyway, the young lady who owned the calf took it to their vet who re-routed the uretha and had the calf urinating out the...

OK, we get to where we are all showing cloned steers, we have one last big show and turn out the lights after the grand is crowned.  Because at that point, we will all be showing the same calf  (the best one gets cloned!).  So unless new genetic material is added to the pool, we have one...

That has to be the most outrageous thing I have heard of.  Any member on your board who says they are doing it for the kids is not.  Our members are not paid.  They are reimbursed any out of pocket expenses, but nothing more.   I would impeach every member and rewrite your by-laws and then you...

I agree.  Just used one at the county fair and it was in impressive deal.  The air that puppy put out was unreal.  But, I also don't have the biggest hands and holding the hose was like hanging onto a firehose.  They need a handle on it or something.
