New BIM baby...No weight but she's a big girl. So in love with this little sweetheart.

What exactly are judges looking for in a bred heifer? We do a lot of jackpot/prospect shows leading up to majors and we love the feed back but we are getting a lot of conflicting information on what condition she should be in as she gets further in gestation. Thank you in advance.

We have decided on a different treatment until we get some clarification on this. Luckily I still had the hand out they gave us at the workshop with some contact info so I sent off some emails and my vet is going to reach out to some people he knows too. We already know the slaughter withhold is...

We we to a jackpot show this weekend and this morning all of our calves have green, snotty noses. My husband took the kids to school then stopped at the vet and came home with a 2 boxes of Sustain III. I had to stop him from giving it because my kids attended a show cattle work shop a while back...

I pulled up the HLSR handbook last night and it's not very specific on the validation of heifers just making a substitution. It reads to me like you can validate one and you have to scratch that one to replace it with a sub. Our heifer last year was a scramble project so that is all we have to...

I would also like clarification on this too. I see the same thing. The same kids showing across multiple breeds but our CEA said we can only have one heifer per exhibiter for Texas majors. Obviously you can only enter one in each show but we were told we could only validate the one. What if...

This was a tiny ring with a big class for a jackpot show. She sent 6 or 7 out so this cut could walk again before she placed the winners. The overall placement was 1. Black 2. Dark grey 3. Yellow 4. Silver. To me the picture gives a good idea of the type and kind people buying and judges are...

You are correct on your pick of the winner and the steers seem smaller framed to me.

Keep in mind this a jackpot show, a class of prospects all with a Texas major show ear tag...now pick the winner of this class. It is a reflection of the trends at least in Texas.

Growing pretty good. We just love him!!!

Producers here too...

We did several jackpots(7-8)plus the calf scramble progress show, ft wort, and Houston with a heifer(registered angus)and in Texas, at least this part of southeast Texas, the females that were winning were very "steer like". Our girl did very well, lots of class wins, even at the majors, breed...

Maybe if you slicked him now then really worked the hair as it grows back in it would look more like what your exhibitor wants by the end of July?

:)

He is doing great so far. We are thrilled with him.

Thank you so much for the awesome steer. We had to make my son come in the house at 11:30 last night. Looking forward to seeing your fall borns!!!

A young lady that was a favorite for grand in our county placed 3rd overall because of the heifers attitude. The judge talked to her in the ring, told the crowd it was a nice looking heifer but he couldn't get a good look at things like hip and neck because the shower couldn't get her set up. We...

Never had any luck getting the steers to eat it but our heifers seem to love it. It does make them eat like baby dinosaurs so you have to be careful not to give them too much. We also feed it to hogs and broilers. Same company makes rooster cell, same thing, smaller bottle, more expensive so we...

I know disposition is an issus that's why I gave it some careful thought before choosing him. I know he is hot right now but you don't hear much about him or any other club calf bull being used on Americans. I was just wondering if he clicked with them.

I have four American/American cross cows going to be bred this week and after a lot of thought I have chosen B.I.M to use on them in the hope of abc steers. This is our first time trying AI and I was wondering if he works good on American cows. I couldn't find any pics to go by. One has had 2...
