That's pretty cool! They are a couple of cuties.

Isn't the judge going to kill you on rate of gain? Might be time to pour the corn to him and eat him April 1.

It usually means you will get a foot or more snow out of that storm.

My son gets one every year. He buys a few mkt animals so the loan he gets is just a one year deal. Interest rate this year is 2%.Costs $43 to borrow $2000 for a year. We have an awesome loan officer that understands the life of a 4-Her and is really easy to work with.

The Bextras are OK as long as you don't bale your bales as big as you can or have any squatting at all. You have to keep your bales about 68 inched otherwise you have a hard time lining the bale up perfectly in order to get it in the feeder. I pick up mine with my loader and it has survived...

Two points I think need to be made. Mind your own business and the show cattle industry is not the commercial cattle industry. There seems to be many people in this world that think they are the "standard" and if you are not breeding to their standard you are wrong. Run your business how you...

A lady who's family has done very well at the local and national level told me they skip feeding their calves on Sunday night. It keeps the idea in the calf's head that every meal may be their last so they always eat every time they are offered feed. Anybody else do this?

It is awesome feed. I weaned some calves last Sat and put out a creep feeder full of Precon pellets. They went for it immediately and have barely made a peep. If their mommas weren't standing around bellering, you would never know they had just been weaned. Their manure is good and tight and the...

Agree. My Juneau's have been stout and very nice fronted. He calves real easy too.

Many yrs ago I worked for a guy who had a pasture full of thorn trees. We mended fence by cutting the small ones and piling them on top the existing stomped down fence. I thought it was the craziest thing ever but it seemed to work well for him. If there was ever a way to cobble something...

Make your windrow the same width as your bale chamber or just a hair wider. Straddle the windrow and don't weave a bit.  if the hay isn't thick enough make the windrow half the width of the bale chamber. Weave to fill bale chamber evenly. Make sure you spend enough time on each side of the...

We have been feeding it about a month and it really seems to help add cover. I really like it.

Radioactive, too bad he's PHAC because he is very impressive.

I was at both studs on Saturday. Eye Candy and his son Nasty Habit looked great. EC was in a big pen and travelled really nice. Walks Alone also looked good. A couple of the new bulls looked really rough after they spent a month or two at the stud. Sometimes there isn't much meat under all that...

It's called ShowStopper, owned by Vittitoe in Keota, IA.

I think he might only be 5/8 but Mitten Man is flatout good. I saw him last week at Putz's and he looked awesome. He is moderate framed, long spined, big boned, big ribbed, sound and very well muscled.  He is definitely under-used in the Maine breed.

Stands Alone!!!!

If two of your first five calves you have to jack out backwards and they both die two days later, it sure puts you in a pissy mood towards the cattle business.

[I have been at this probably longer than you have been alive, and I have NEVER seen beating an animal to be effective in making the GENTLE.   I mean, how does that make sense? If you beat on me, I probably won't like you either. You've been breaking calves for 42 yrs???? Hmmmmmmm Save the I'm...
