those are not PUREBRED that is FULLBLOOD. purebred are 75% + Maine and they are the new genetics, influenced with other breeds ali is purebred maine, so is smoking joe, and many others. fullbloods are the shallow bodied, huge framed, hard doin, red and white old genetics. and hate to say but hav...

Robbie It depends on the show? At a national level papered and a minimum of 50% Shorthorn will show in the shorthorn plus classes. Michigan for instance at the major jr open shows has a Shorthorn plus class, because the breeders voted to represent. So to answer your question : if this is a local...

sometimes judges in the older and senior age classes will have you switch animals at county fairs, sometimes a judge will get there before the steer show and watch what kids are doing the fitting themselves. if it's close like that theyll probably go more the scenario route or ask general beef...

whoops. as long as they are registered and properly tattooed with the registration papers. otherwise they go in crossbred.

our fair everything is together, no matter what breed it is.  but for other shows, if there is enough of a breed they get their breed class, if not they go in aob. the only breeds i've ever seen mixed high percent and low percent is the maines and mainetainers, those get mixed. otherwise...

gefferts sale is usualy in october. ive paid 1200 for a good steer there already. you could also contact him post sale some of them were up but then a sale fell thru and he still had them later and you could get them for the starting bid or less.

keep her out of the sun completely. its getting bleached by the sun, our hair gets lighter too if we spend time in the sunlight. prolly dye her if your getting close to a show. otherwise keep running a shedder comb through her it may help if some of those hairs are dieing. also some of it will...

if her calf is good then keep her 180 then, and if you wanna clean her front end up you are goin to have to watch how smooth fronted these bulls are, ive seen some awesome steers after the shoulders but the shoulders were way to big even for a steer, even saw one that had blown out shoulders...

first of all how old are you, that determines what the judges ask, if they ask at all. once you start competing beyond just county, judges don't really ask questions anymore except for younger kids. overall this is what i tell the judges: birthdate, dam, sire, bred to, date bred, things id...

I80 would definetely clean her up, he is super smooth though his front end, but i agree with old grouch if she already throws em leggy he might make em worse, he's not the deepest bodied bull in the book. Thriller i'd say would have a chance of cleaning her up, he throws em pretty smooth, and...

we use AAOK's recipe for the heifers and as a grower for the steers, it's also what goes in our creep feeder for the calves. we have free choice mineral in the pastures, and we also top dress it with the feed. the steer is on pre bagged purina show chow as a finisher. i would be feeding rowed...

up by us we got a product called PRIORITY ONE. i think its being marketed around the states more, its meant for dairy, but works on beef too. we've used it in the past, steer was on 30 lbs a day, and mowed it all down. he also gained 4.6 lbs a day with being on it, and had reserve carcass. it...

no we haven't used any of them yet, weve used stainless, hard drive, uno mas, and we got some indian outlaw for that hereford cow. ive used manchild, i am legend, money man, ali and clone, smoking joe, and final answer on my maine and mainetainers. and we bred a few to eye candy this yr. my favs...

ur not guaranteed a smoke we thought ours was gonna be a smoke and she was all brown no smoke whatsoever, her dam had a uno mas this yr and that was a smoke, but not the stainless steel. i like the uno mas we got, shes pretty deep, and massively thick, but still freaky fronted and super sound...

i got a alli blue roan cow that has NOO depth or muscle whatsoever, but shes super feminine and strong topped. but she throws massively thick calves. still no depth, bred her I AM LEGEND last yr, calf is stout, smooth, and actually as deep as any of my other calves. i personally like i am...

i agree with everyone that said to search. this site is actually really good in september and october even into november. some of the ads be from big names and others are from small names. know what you want and stick to it whether its price, muscle, guts, soundness, eye appeal, hair, or any...

i heard of one person that had 2 heifers and 1 bull that she bought outta canada so id try finding some in canada before you try finding em in the us. i dont think theres a breed assoc yet anyway to register them at all ud have to get enough of them in the us for that to happen
