Hello, We purchased a shorthorn heifer for my daughter to show this year she is 6.  I am looking at her registration papers and the heifer's sire goes back to Elbee Leader C087 owner Elbee Farms, what a small world.  The sire is CS Nike Max 01 owned by Cato Shorthorns.  Does anyone know anything...

(clapping) (clapping) (clapping) (clapping) (clapping) I agree with Zach go somewhere else.  If you don't like the show cattle industry don't post on a show cattle board!!!!!

Back in the late 80's we were at the Houston Livestock Show, all of us kids were really good friends.  One of the boys in our group was hilarious (he should have been a stand up comedian).  We were trying to win the heardsman award, so we were cleaning our stalls and sweeping our ailse.  Then a...

What happened, why where they disqualified and who was involved??

What are some of SP reader's most memorable times that have happened at stock shows.  It can be sentimental or funny or whatever. Mine is my son winning his first belt buckle. Last December we had a FFA chapter show for our area, he won the show with his Simmental steer. The ironic part was...

I have heard of people giving their cattle terramycin before going to shows to keep them from picking up any illnesses.  Has anyone done this and does it help?? ;D ;D

Hi everyone, I am curious how different areas stock shows work. Here in Texas we purchase our steers in Jan. thru March--they are fall born steers.  During the summer and fall we go to alot of jackpot shows and county fairs.  Our calves finish out starting in January to late March.  We have our...

Sorry my computer kicked me out before I was finished. I just wanted to say thanks for the information I will pass it along!! Have you all gone to many shows this summer, I know you went to belt buckle, but any others. We went to one in July, but it is just too hot for the cattle, we have 4...

Thanks chambeo, I was hoping you would reply to this. I am actually asking this question for my dad, he does always vaccinate his cows but I am not sure he vaccinates for pneumonia or respiratory disease.  We really had a bad time of it last year.  Hopefully this year will be better. The cows...

Thank you very much for the information. Is the 5 way a shot and can it be given when thay are just a few days old??  I am assuming the 5 way is like the 8 way we give older calves.

That is what we have always done in the past and it works pretty good, but we still lost a calve and it takes alot of time to keep doctoring.  We have about 80 cows that calve between the end of August to the end of October and it seems once one gets it, it becomes a chain reaction.  I was just...

We have not much help.

I need some help.  We are going to have calves start hitting the ground around the end of Aug. first part of September.  We live in south Texas and it has been really hot, last year we lost our best calf to pneumonia we fought it all year during calving season. My question is can I give the...
