208-221-7353 Don is out of Nebraska

I have never been to a Stierwalt camp so I can't comment on them, but I have been to 4 Stock Show U camps in the last 4 years and they have been excellent.  I take all 3 of my kids and we all learn something every time.  They split you up into beginner, intermediate and advanced groups.  I...

Did Dream On have any white on his face or was he solid black?

What is the cost per cwt?

Habanero - he makes great producing cows

We had 3 Maine Man calves the first year he came out.  They were really long bodied, really thick, good fronted, good haired, but they were really tight gutted and round rumped.  All 3 of those cows have had I80 (maternal brother) calves since and they were way better.

Same as above.  My son won a pair of the Show Edge clippers and I didn't care for the feel of them.  Plus the Sullivan rep told me I would have to buy new blades, that the Show Edge clippers have so much power that they throw the blades off.  I traded them for a 5 speed and love them.  The way...

Do not know the exact date but they allowed "red" maines in to the herd book as 3/4 shorthorns some years back. Beacuse the Maines are made up of shorthorn blood. If you had a purebred "red" maine you could get entry. Now I went round and round with ASA when i said there was some white on a cow...

I have used a 5.5 day CIDR sync for 12 years.  I did it out of necessity because of work.  I would put CIDR's in Saturday morning, pull them Thursday after work and then breed off of standing heat all weekend.  I only ever gave 1 shot of lutylase when I pulled the CIDR's.  Has worked great for...

Where is this semen stored?

I'm looking to use a Hereford bull that I can buy sexed heifer semen.  Want to breed good high percentage Maine cows to make replacements.  I want to add more rib, fleshing easy, milk and udder quality (just can't find good Maine bulls to make those super soggy cows).  They don't have to be...

We had our first one ever.  It was a PB Maine calf.  Calf was 83# and a light pull out of a first calf heifer.  It had about 2 feet of intestine outside its body.  I talked to our vet and he said he has seen 4 in his career and none of them lived. I have heard about a lot hernia's in general in...

I just said the exact same thing to my wife yesterday, before I read this.

I work with 30 plus dairies in the upper Midwest doing nutrition.  Bar QH is correct on balage.  Inoculant is a waste of money on balage.  I have been tracking fermentation profiles for 5 years on balage and haylage samples at similar moistures, and balage undergoes very little fermentation...

Who is judging the Ft. Worth steer show this year?

Anybody have results

What did lot 32 bring? Thanks

Here is another interesting story over the 1972 Denver Steer.  Back then they had to be british bred and had to be sired by an Angus, Hereford or Shorthorn.  The owners claimed the steer was Angus sired and out of a Charolais X Shorthorn cow and produced documentation of his Angus sire. Bum...

We had 3 of them last year.  All tall, long bodied, very shallow and tight flanked.  They were thick but very round and tight in their muscle pattern.  They were all nice fronted.  I wouldn't waste my money.  There is ALOT better bulls out there.

JIT - are you leaving the net wrap on the top half or bottom half of the bale?
