    Show Cattle T.V. Show airing on RFD-TV

    I liked the show.  It has lots of potential.  I thought the panel was very helpful and knowledgeable.  I would like to see maybe in the barn demonstrations tidbits so kids can actually see not just hear what the panelist is talking about.  The call in questions were a wreck.  Bad sound, muffled...

    Showmaxx vs. Supermix (Optaflexx)

    EatBeef, glad you chimed in.  You sound very versed in the use of the product.  I wished you would have chimed in earlier so my post was not necessary.  I spoke of my observations and use on both my family's show cattle and in the feedyard I manage.  I am in no way endorsing one over the other. ...

    Showmaxx vs. Supermix (Optaflexx)

    Very good questions and very good points.  Zilmax is a superior beta agonist than optaflexx.  It does deliver more lbs. both on the hoof and rail, greater hot yields, less yield grade 3 and 4's, but does lower the grade.  Optaflexx is a beta agonist 1 while zilmax is a beta agonist 2.  Even...

    Best for Lice?

    Remember there is a difference on sucking lice and biting lice.  Injectables will take care of sucking lice cause it gets in the blood which they suck and feed on.  Biting lice feeds off of flakes off the skin.  Most pour ons will take care of them.  Make sure you read the label and treat...

    Short strided heifer

    I don't think it can make up 4 to 5 inches but have you looked at her rear hooves?  Stierwalt like to take a little pad off in order to lengthen the stride.  I also recommend what was previously mentioned on supplements and excercise.

    Head strong calf

    You have a neck strong calf.  Thats where they get their strength from.  Make that neck sore.  Let him drag the halter on for a couple of days.  Let him walf around stepping on the lead rope.  He will jerk himself around.    By day 3 his neck will be sore that he will not fight the halter. ...

    Speech Ideas

    Nutrition.  Nutrional challenges.  Taking advantage of by-products.  The use of supplements to increase digestion. I personally like "The Future is Here".  Rewind the clock 20 years.  Show how we have decreased our cattle on feed or our herd size in US but have increased beef production.  Show...

    Okay, I am stupid about this but......

    I could fit an animal using human products out of the women's beauty section at Walmart, ie pink oil, foam, hair spray.  If you extension agent believes that this causes residue in the meat, then his wife and daughters are contaminated.  That is a very absurd assumption on your extensions part. ...

    Biggest "Deal" in 2010 ???

    Future Breeder, That is the first thing that crossed my mind also.  I would add.... Up-  Live cattle is trading at near record levels. Down- Smallest cattle on feed in the US since 1952. Up-  Feeder cattle prices are up. Down-  Corn prices are also up and cattle feeders will have near record...

    CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--U.S. corn futures dropped to their daily, exchange-imposed limits at the Chicago Board of Trade on Friday as speculative traders, skittish of talk of tightening monetary policy in China, aggressively sold the market. CBOT corn for December delivery dropped the 30-cent...
