This is a pic of my arm after a run in with a tied up heifer. She was tied but so scared of little kids when young niece walked in the stall with me she went nuts and started pitching and kicking, managed to pen me between her body and the stall.

This question shouldn't be why show steers it should be why show anything. It's all a money trap. Do you realize the time and money that goes into a pig or broilers? The return is way less than the cattle for sure. We show because our kids love it as much as we do and when they are outside under...

Yesterday was an emotional day for me. We took her and my nieces heifer to be put in the pasture. I took it kinda hard, these ones came to us much younger and much earlier in the year than the year before. I spent a lot of time with these calves and was really bonded to them. It didn't help that...

The Gyr are the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. My husband grandma has a small herd of them and you can walk around them while they graze and they just look at you but the minute you try to pen them to be worked they go insane. They had one that  killed a dog and a horse in same...

Thank you all for your replies and advice. I'm sure we will be keeping her but she will be going to pasture to slim down a little before any breeding takes place. My husband wants to wait until a second calf to attempt AI on her.

I knew his grandparents owed a lot of cows but WOW, clearly he has been sand bagging on what he knows about this stuff. He just dropped a bombshell on me that his grandpa had some kind of licenses to do AI in the 80's.

Lol my husband just told me he would get rid of me before he gets rid of that heifer. He's talking about all this AI stuff I didn't realize he knew so much about. He grew up around his grandparents cows and he says that stuff was "dinner table talk" when he was a kid.

In a way I like the idea of breeding her to something so my kids can see the whole process and raise their own baby but there is a lot to that. My husbands grandmother has a tank full of semen but it's all pretty old, mostly from brangus and gyr bulls that were popular in the 80's but it's free...

Our target show has been meet and my son had his heifer donated back to him at our county sale so, now what? What do you do with a show girl that hasn't been in the pasture for seven months and looks at grass like it's going to kill her in her sleep? We would ideally like to breed her to...

I also like the idea of my kids doing a from the ground up project. My husband grandmother has some frozen semen we are going to use on my sons heifer so he can raise his own calf.

[font=impact][/fontOurs was a Feb 12 calf, end date Mar 27. A little on the young side but to be eligible for our county bred program the animal has to be born after Jan 1. He got to 1150 and just quit. We tried the probiotics every day for a week, worming, every paste, pour on and supplement we...

Thank you for your time. The information for the seller to claim the voucher should be in the packet we get in the mail. I will know more then about what we need to do. I will definitely take a look at the other heifers.

we have only been showing calves a couple of years(broilers 6 years)and this past year our three calves gave us fits with being picky eaters. We tried all the supplements, all the pastes, all the pour ons including plain old maple syrup. What worked the best was changing feed. We switched the...

Thank you for your reply. I stalked your sell all day yesterday and it was love at first sight when I seen lot #18 but I knew I couldn't bid with the promise of a scramble certificate.

This is our first year with the vouchers too and they send us all of our information in the mail on how the vouchers work and we haven't received our yet. I called our greeter because the online reporting system was down yesterday and we need to send a thank you letter to our donor. From what I...

Very neat looking little heifer. The color is very eye catching. How much? Where is she located? Can I get a pic from the back and a profile? Please send me  PM. It will be a month or more before we know anything about payment on the scramble certificates. At this time they actually have the...

i have been stalking this sale all day. There is one on there I really like but I don't know how to bid with or if they will accept a Houston scramble certificate.

Thank you!!! He is not new to showing. He has had pigs and broilers for years. He was scared of calves. My older sons heifer hit him in the face last year. This calf is our baby. We just love her. The first one to lead her was my 6 year old. We know she has some issues as far as show calves go...

How much? Can she be registered? Where is she located? We have a Houston scramble voucher. Send me a PM please. Very interested
