yes for the show i am raising him for which is my county fair and market sale he chose him and told me he would be a really good calf.  He was first pick of the herd.  he bred him and we are raising him

also you say you dont know much about shorthorns but then you try to correct me, who works with them and has researched them and knows, and tell me in wrong.  and yes if you did any research you would know that the shorthorn is a basic breed that has contributed to MOST breeds through-out time.

no this is not information the farmer i work with has told me. i researched the breed i was working with so i could know information about them if anyone ever asked me. and he DOES NOT raise them for me. i work with him and do about 98% of the work that goes into my calves.  so dont spout off...

their personallities are what i enjoy about them.  they are also, from my opinion, the base of most breeds we have today.  they can gain weight on just basic feed and are good mothers and are easily crossed with other breeds.  we hardly ever pull calves. no one in 5 years. they are just good cattle

i am hearing people say they get things through walmart and other stores like this. what are you getting there? because from what i have seen i didnt think walmart carried pink oil and that sort of stuff.

but is that type of feed (corn oats...) good for raising market animals?

im stocking my showbox and was just curiouse to see what you favorite basic show day products were. such as adhesive, remover, soap, ect...(anything for fitting) also where i can get the stuff you recomend. thanks! how do you compare these fallowing products to sullivans brand and to each other...

funny story cause the man im working with has raised champions.  but once his kids quit showing he let his herd get more market and less show so since i started hes getting more show animals to be produced again.

getting back to opinions...what do you think?

i dont plan on implanting, i go al natural. i am also only hitting some small shows since it is my first year, ones with less competition just to ease into showing.  i dont plan on getting champion, but it might be nice to some day. but probably not with him.

i almost want to see a little more heartgirth on him. overall a nice steer though

i really like her look, shes going to be ver powerful in the ring

i work with beefmaster with my steer at the same place.  he is a really nice looking steer in person.  he has always had a gut but he has been dewormed and everything.  the pictures just dont do him justice.  he just needs to mature a little more.  the rest of this registered shorthorn herd is...

Pictures after

i like him. he has a certain flash about him thought i cant put my finger on what it is.  I would, though, like to get rid of the brown in his coat. i think if he was solid black he would be more impressive. just my opinion

Big Red and Bringing Red On

i use dawn dish soap and some elbow greece during the year but washing up for shows i use sullivans bright light

joined your facebook group, i love seeing all the pictures keep them comming

im not sure what to judge on for that breed but overall she looks really thick and i just love her color, that red is pretty nice. and yes i am aware she looks wet.  could posibly be deeper in the heartgirth, but overall nice girl you have there
