Does anyone take a wagon or wheelbarrow to haul feed and hay from trailer?

This is our first year showing.  We jackpotted all last winter and will be taking a Market Steer and heifer to Tulsa.  What are the tip, tricks, and things I need to take to make the week easier.  This will be our "showcation" since we farm and have cattle it's hard to get away from the farm. ...

I'm interested in setting up a Obstacle course at our County Fair in Sept.  The only info I've found is a video on Youtube.  As far as I understand it is a timed event and the course consists of the following:  loading and unloading from a trailer, entering a grooming chute, stepping over poles...

This a pic of our Eye Candy calf at 8 mon. and then as a yearling.  We are getting him ready for our county fair the first of sept. and then for Tulsa.

a few more pics.  We are building our showbarn under a shed built off the side out our machine barn.  We had to run both electric and water.  We will be adding a feed room, 3 12x14 pens with a 100ft run off of each pen.  Each pen will have a drop down outlet for a fan.  Can't wait to be...

Here's some pics of our cool room.  A/C people are coming monday to hook us up, lol.  We bought  a walk in cooler from a grocery store that was moving for 850.00 and built a room that measures 18x11 on the inside after cooling unit and tie rails.  Here are some pics of the process

The shavings will also help keep the mats from getting slippery from calf urine.

I was dissapointed in the quatility of the artic circle.  It only has three nozzles and they don't all point in the same direction.  One points back into the fan and you can't adjust them.  I'm having much better luck with the patio mister from TSC.  It's a single nozzle on tubing shaped like a...

LOVE IT!  I'd make it my ringtone if I could figure out how.

Our steer is on a time schedule.  His.  He has gotten really bad about opening the stall doors when he "thinks" it;s time to come out.  New show barn and cool room will be ready by the 4th of July.  I hope my shrubs last that long, lol.

We mist in Kleen Sheen everytime we wash or rinse.

Here in SE Ok our night time temps sometimes stay in the upper 70's or low 80's with lots of humidity.  Does anyone rinse and blow them put them in day and night?

We are about a week away from completion on our cool room, so I would love to hear input on this too.

105 here in SE Oklahoma.  Summer has arrived

We have a 2007 Polaris Ranger 900 that is a complete JAPOC (Junky _SS Piece OF CRAP).  In addition to the extreme heat, ours acts like it's running out of gas all the time.  It just lunges and surges no matter what speed you are going.  We have had it in the shop 4 times.  It will run fine for...

@Sambosu... did the individuals pour concrete footers to sit the cooler on?  We are trying to decide whether to just pour concrete or go the gravel route.

We bought a walk in cooler from a grocery store and are setting it up for a cool room.  My question is, has anyone used a gravel pit as a base layer for drainage under the floor?  We are thinking we would dig a 2-3 foot pit, fill it with pea gravel, then put a deep layer of cedar fiber on that. ...

Our Eye Candy is a Yak.  I just AI'd a heatwave heifer to a black Galloway for just this reason.  Bone and hair, and a very good attitude.

As a huge bonus Galloways are know for their great disposition!!
