I'd go with red angus as well if you want all red cattle. There are alot of good reds out there and there Is getting to b more and more every year. It's a good time to get in. IMO. I could even hook you up with some names of breeders to call.

One of the best things I ever seen was at the Calgary stampede one year and anyone that has ever shown there knows how bad it is filled with strollers and city people coming up to"pet your pretty cow." A guy was petting my buddies "pretty cow" on the head when she was tied in the stall,  so he...

Big hairy ears are the best!! Haha I haven't meet a hairy eared cow I didn't like. We always joke at home that it's good luck, never clip it off just comb'em and trim them even! haha

We get down to -30 in the winter and when we're getting cattle ready for Denver  we rinse once a day. We just have them in a heated barn and make sure they are dry dry before kicking them out. The suns only out from 9 in the morning til 4 in the afternoon so keeping them out of that's pretty...

We've shown a big bull every year for as long as I can remember. The biggest thing we've found is slow and steady when feeding them and lots of exercise! Or big bulls we bring out are in a huge pen with water, grain, bedding and hay in all 4 corners. That way they're forced to walk lots. A big...

We've always used white show foam as well. It works good, same thing just spray it in blow it off and re-glue where needed. We've always let them rest and lay down, and kept them full of hay and water

We haul every year down to Denver it's a 1350 miles from home. With stops at the border it takes an average of 24 hrs straight threw. We've done it both ways straight threw and stopped half way. I prefer to stop if the cattle have enough room. We've always made sure they have plenty of bedding...

That's what I was getting at........ Just didn't know how politically correct I had to be haha

Two thumbs up! Looks like the breeding worked out!

You can find sites that support both....... I've also had both in my welding trucks that are packing right around 6000lbs everyday and when there's not a welder on it there's a 24ft stock trailer loaded with cattle and show gear. I put on a minimum of 40,000 miles a year and am getting 10,000 or...

Good tires and air bags in it well make a world of a difference. I'm also a big big believer in nitrogen in the tires instead of air. Your tires run cooler and the pressure stays the same whether it's 120 or -30. I've got an extra 10,000 miles or so out of my tires with nitrogen compared to air.

Sprite or 7-up fiz's which cause gases in the stomach and well make them look fuller. It's just like if you were to down a bunch you have to burp. Water, beet pulp I like when they eat it dry cause then it'll expand in there stomach but lots won't eat it dry. Everything else people have...

Congrats man! Now I'm even more excited to see the calf

Haha thanks JB! It's a pretty cool deal there is alot of different competitions that I think are cool and challenge Jrs. to think outside the box. The biggest thing is that at the Jr. Shows the fitting and clipping is on a whole not as good as the ones down in the states because all the Jrs have...

Hmmm...... K well I'm pulling a little bit more towards the question asking now. I can see more of a point. I guess i tend to forget that most Jr. Shows down in the states differ from most of them up here. Not all but most of the Jr. Shows up here including all the Natioal shows.( angus, Simmi...

Haha point vc- 1, the truth-0. The truth is that there was a simple question asked and that was........what everyone thinks is the new and hottest bulls in the simmi breed? To me that is a form of research is it not? If you don't know what's hot and new in your breed your behind the times and...

Yeah! Like that guy says haha Just practice the more you do the better it'll get and you'll figure out the best way for you

Nothing wrong with shears! I'll grab my lazers with an X-caliber comb and a 9 tooth cutter lots of times before my little ones.  I like them both but for different things. Try a bunch everyones different.

I agree with badgerfan, but try putting some straight up regular hair gel like dippity do or another brand and mix it with warm water in a regular squirt bottle. We've been doing it for years and it helps. But you have to make sure it's mixed up good and you have to put on less then you think...

Are you talking about a steer, heifer, cow or bull? Front, side, back or the around the whole leg? We need more info my good man! Hahaha and then people might be able to explain something to you. It's hard to explain without having a leg right in front of you. The best way to learn is to watch...
