Sorry here is a full pic :)

Just wanted to see everyone's thoughts for naming my steer. He is a Chi sired by Sunseeker.

Is there a specific drill you have to buy? And then buy the actual fluffer separate?

Congrats with your steer! I know you've worked hard with him all year and you deserved the wins! Thanks a lot too for all the help you've given me along the way. You definitely know your stuff and you're a great showman no matter what anyone says! Congrats again!  <party> <rock>  (clapping)

1. make sure your calf is genetically able to grow hair 2. put kleen sheen or double dip or some conditioner in the hair before you let them out for the night 3. I put up a mister on one of my fans and had it run through the hottest parts of the day

Thanks! This is what I'm looking for.

I was just wondering if anyone had any pics of some top quality state fair steers as calves who sold last fall. I've been trying to search for them, but it's been hard. I'm just trying to train my eye into seeing what a "state fair quality" calf is as a 400-600 pound baby. That way when I'm out...

I don't know if this really helps you out, but I bred Brilliance to my simmy/angus heifer. Hopefully she stuck!

Yes it is a hair show. I live in the midwest.

No I have not aske this question before. I was just thinking about how the quality of the calf should excel the color factor and wanted to know other's opinions.

Yes and especially after my county fair this year.. I'm starting to believe in the "color" factor lol. In the cross division there was one class where it took the judge forever to decide. With that being hard to decide I thought the winner of the crossbred breed would come out of that class. But...

Ok ya that makes sense. So I should just look for the best quality calf that I can for my budget.

For next years show season I was thinking of choosing a black breed steer to show. However, what if I find a nice cross steer with good quality that is not black. He would stick out more to a judge.... but would a judge more likely choose a black steer over a colored steer? Why do often black...

cpubarn- Thanks! Unfortunately, the bulls were not taking good pics today. I really like the two heifers we have and can hopefully talk my dad into keeping them. The top heifer's dam has been bred to WA. She was bred June 27th and has not came back into heat. Hopefully she was bred so I can use...

The Hoosier Beef Congress is in Indianapolis, IN. In 2012 it's November 30th-December 2nd. The show is split between two days; usually on a Saturday and Sunday. The set up day is usually the friday before the show. It's a very competitive show, but a lot of fun and you learn a lot as well as...

When looking for your next calf is this the order? 1.Make sure all feet point forwards. Calf should be sound moving with no bucked knees, inward hocks, smooth shoulder, and fit tracks 2. look for a calf that is moderate framed that will finish well for your end show 3. make sure the calf is...

Stretch is very similar to Depth Charge and my steer liked it. I thought he expanded pretty well on it. It also comes in 50 lb bags.

This is the second year I have done this with my steers. I write mine saying an overview of what I've done with my steer as far as showing. I then talk about what life lessons I have earned while showing this steer. I talk about what I want to do in college, other extracurricular activities and...
