Thank you for all of the postings, calls and pictures... We successfully found one from Larry Anderson in Clarion, Iowa....  My husband is really pleased with him and he will go to work this weekend. Once again steerplanet has a successful ending!!!! <party>

We are located in SW Iowa..... We are looking for a clean up bull for our Maine Anjou herd....Does anyone know where we could locate one.  I know it is kinda late...My number is 712 370 4448...Thanks

Thanks for the support...

I just wanted to give you all an update.  You were right she is getting better every day!!!...However, her right hip is extremely swollen still... Thanks

To lcattleco;  I have heard this about him years ago also from someone who sold semen to him.  They were ABS salesmen.  They considered it "their donation to society." Sorry about your issues..

I watched the video and u hit the nail on the head.. we have been giving her dex. We breed her to our herd bull but apparrtly not avoid mix. She is a bojo. I am going to get that mineral tomorrow.  Thx again.

I need some help!! I have a heifer that was calving last Monday, unfortunately, i believe quite a while before I got home from work and got the calf pulled.  She was unable to get on her own up until Friday in which time we were using a "hip hoist" to assist her to speed the process along. She...

I was really impressed with his interview he gave.  He seems to be a down to earth guy.  I am intereted in going to his sale in October, however, I have always heard his calves are very expensive.  Is this true???

Along the same lines, I was concerned about all of the bulls they are promoting are THC....Does anyone else have concerns???

I am glad Riley suggested I-80 as we have a bull calf out of him that my daughter show as a cow/calf pair at our local county fair.  His mother is a purebreed Maine out of Bouncer.  The calf was a bull calf twin with another bull calf which was the only down fall as he is pretty small, but...

Awesome.  I just told my husband I think we will make the trip.  We raise Maine's so I am looking for a good heifer for my daughter to show.  Thanks again....

We had a heifer a few years ago with SP.  She did not show signs of it until 7 - 8 months of age. We thought maybe some sort of trauma triggered her's, but probably genetics!!!  Her legs would go straight and just shake.  She had a horrible time getting up and down also and once up she could...

We were wondering what experiences people have had with BPF?  We have never bought from them, but are considering going to look at their calves...We are just wanting to know what to expect.  Thanks in advance...

We live in Iowa, who has be best ones, not the most expensive, calves this year before we drive all over creation.....Thanks

Thanks rackranch.  You deserved him perfectly.  he looks worse full and he bloats consistently even with a bloat block so we call him "puffer fish."  we will try your ideas for the next 30 days....He is a really good steer except for this problem which is a big distraction of course!!!!!  I will...

Thanks for the replies; We do feed in feed bunks.. I have never heard of roach backs.  I learn something new every day on Steerplanet.  That is why I enjoy it...Thanks again..

Our steer we have seems to be what I call "short coupled" when he walks.  He has a "hump" on his back and does not walk "out." Do you have any suggestions for me as our fair is one month away.  I didn't know of Natural Stride would work for this problem???  Thanks for your help...

I am a mom of an 11 year old girl.. I believe a little bling is okay, but not so much that it gets in the way of showing the calf.  My daughter says she doesn't win in showmanship because she doesn't wear enough bling either, because of mom, and her jeans are not tight enough, because of mom...

I know!!  My 11 year old said she felt out of place showing in Sioux Falls in January as her jeans didn't have any "bling" and she didn't have any fancy jewerly on... So at the expo she bought jeans with big blingy crosses on them to "fit it."  I am it was her money!!!!

I have to agree with the previous poster, DO NOT GO OVER BOARD.  In my opinion I think there is way to much "bling" in the show ring right now..We have watched a few preview shows and the girls  have on more jewerly and/or the tightess jeans a young woman would or should wear out on a date. I...
