    Good bye ol' yella, goodbye my friend

    Show Hef, you also have my sympathy.  Your baby would be proud of you.  I could picture the calf growing up as I read the poem.  I could relate with my dad giving me my first animal.  I could feel what you were feeling through your words.  You were able to put a lump in my throat, chills in my...

    Hey Knabe.. California Prop. 2: Caging of farm animals under debate

    They tried to pass a similar measure on confined chickens in the state of New Hampshire I understand.  It did not pass.  What the didn't say was there were no chicken operations in that state.  What they were trying to accomplish was to be able to tell neighbor states or the public all the...

    Funny for the day!

    I was told that he was preg checking.  With an elephant, an arm just won't do.  Talk about holding your breath.

    Show Steers or Intricate/Expensive/Picky Eaters...Response to "Dont Get Mad"

    I agree with you Chambero about 10%.  I don't need to see the carcass data from a major show.  I see carcass data on about 2000 head a week.  On a major people go an extra mile to get top quality carcass.  They do it by buying quality cattle and then they have the knowledge to feed the cattle...

    Show Steers or Intricate/Expensive/Picky Eaters...Response to "Dont Get Mad"

    I have finished show steers on feed yard rations for years.  One just needs to know to manage the right feeds.  Starter, grower, finisher.  One needs to know when to shift gears and how.  Just like driiving a top fuel dragster.  I think everyone is confused on the feeds.  I work with a beef...

    Whats your favorite thing about showing

    As a parent, I love tailgating.  BBQing and the whole works only after the show.  A group of family always look forward visiting each other at shows.  We take turns on which family bbq the main course.  Well we did deep fry a turkey once.  The rest bring side dishes, desserts, chips and salsa...

    I recomend David Stoecklein.  He is a true Rancher Artist.  I love his cattle dog photography.

    Golden Child/Almost Famous

    I have seen some young Golden Child calves that are Very impressive.  I have 2 Golden Childs of my own.  The first blew out his front end when he approached 900.  Making a great feedyard steer now.  The second is about as massive and boned as one could have.  As he is approaching 900, I am...

    how do you cheer yourself up?

    I hope ya feel better.  I always like to call all of my college friends.  I like to catch up with their careers and famillies.  Some I feel like I have been there to watch them grow up (over the phone).  I also like to listen to music and bake.  I like watching the faces of enjoyment of my...

    last years Arizona Nationals

    AZJimmy, I totally agree with you.  After what they pulled bringing in the NM State steer for Az state fair, everyone was keeping an eye on them.  They forget that kids tend to talk and there was a heads up on it.  I also understand that entries were down last year at Az state fair because of...

    last years Arizona Nationals

    My understanding is the DNA test results were proven positive within the last 2 weeks.  We have to see what direction the states want to take this matter.  If this gets swept under the rug like usual, then no ones hurt so lets just leave it like is.  Not trying to hurt the showman involved. ...

    last years Arizona Nationals

    Too add to the topic.  The calf was proven to be stolen.  No charges by either state have been filed.  Brand inspection showed what show jockey brought that calf in.  It was very visible by the posse surrounding the calf in and out of the ring who it was.  I expect this to keep happening as long...
