I am new to using topdresses and  wondered which ones have been used with good results. i have been told winners edge is a good one, but when i looked on the internet i saw lots of them that looked good. My steers have 45 days and 70 days til fair and i want something that will increase...

Ive shown pigs in 4-H for 4 years now and just love it!  I worked with "Jezebel" alot, and she got so good -  i could bring her in the front yard,horse pasture, ect, and pretend i was showing, she'd never run away. She definetly had a personality - if i didnt scatch her before i worked her or...

I always wear  flip flops too..... been told a kazillion times that its stupid , and yeah ive been stepped on before, but i just love 'em!

Thanks for the detailed reply thornberry i appreciate it.  im glad your calves are looking good - too bad my cows arent full of volume and muscle like yours!! I guess im not sure if raven would be a 'cow changer' or not - ya never know!!

Have you seen any calves? i like his pedigree and reallly appreciate your pic- he does look pretty good . you dont have any more pics of other bull do you?? ;D

i appreciate all your great suggestions, but the big thing is money. my parents dont want to fund this and i dont have the money to build anything great. they also dont want me to paint the barn roof or get the pastures muddy with a sprinkler system. i cant use tarps outside in montana cuz the...

Do you guys think exercising steers is benificial to them? i have a steer who is a little straight in his design and wondered if walking him would help him not to get stiff. if so , when do you start and  how far do you go? Thanks!

For all those who responded to my 'how to keep them cool' question , this is what has transpired - i decided that if i couldnt fund a insulation job on the barn i would find someone who had somewhere insulated that i could keep them. This didnt work for multiple reasons which i will not go into...

What bull do you think is better - marathon or his son raven? i need to power up a flat muscled narrow based cow and wondered how calves from these bulls compare. mostly want a bigger top and hind quarter- Thanks PS im also looking at mf destroyer 093 and  connealy thunder,any thoughts on...

Every bull stud ive seem him in lists him as a 7 frame except for angussemen.com, who calls him a high six frame bull. I cant find any actual measurments though.I think he gets his height from neutron,his dams sire. I have seen some big show heifers from him, but they must get big off of certain...

HI! Im a 4-Her from montana and im looking for some used show stuff - blowers, chutes, clippers, ect. please let me know if you have anything or know someone who does!! Thanks!! ;D

I think Midland would be a good choice. in my opinion, not many bulls can but so many good things together like midland can.though he's a pretty big bull ( high 6-7 frame) he has never added frame to any of our cows. his daughters our excellent mothers, great udders and disposition, and really...

Whats do you guys think about buying a swamp cooler from www.air-n-water.com  - they have several variaties and if they would keep my steers cool enough i would be willing to spend the money. combined with the fans Jill suggested( or some type of vent to get the hot air out) you think it would...

What im thinking of doing is getting a swamp cooler and also trying the ceiling fans you mentioned. i really need something to cool my barn down but it gets so hot i think ill  need some way to get some of that hot air out. it sounds like these fans would do the trick. im in montana and i think...

I have 6 steers to keep cool until august and i dont have a cool room. im new to this and need ideas on what would be the easiest/cheapest way to build something to keep them in. i have a barn with stalls,but during the summer it gets really hot. i am wondering if i could make a  vent in the...

Im looking at bulls right now and wondered if anyone has seen calves by Raven,gambles hot rod, grid topper,connnealy packer or bt crossover. any tips on what kind of cow to use them on? Thanks!!

Just wondering if anyone went and what sire groups/bulls you liked best. i thought the mytty in focus calves looked the best as far as a consistant look on lots of different cows. they are moderate framed, thick, with lots of depth and rib shape. i think they can get a little sloppy in the front...

Hi! we run a small herd of registered angus and show some heifers in 4-H.I love trying new bulls so we are using quite a few this year - midland, in focus, bt crossover, grid topper, connealy packer, new frontier, and a few more. any comments on these bulls? nice to know theres some angus...

Well, im leaning toward a shorthorn or smoky/white bull to add color. a little downsizing might be good
