I believe that I have sent PMs to those who contacted me.  If any of you have any more, please let me know.  Thanks. 

Hi, JTM, sorry I do not have a shorter chute.  I have a couple of steel chutes, but I would like to hold onto them.  I appreciate your interest though.

Dave Shane trims hooves, too.  I believe that he still lives in Fostoria, Ohio.  His website is shaneshowcattle.com.  If you are not familiar with him, his cattle have won the Ohio State Fair numerous times. 

I am looking for an 8 foot aluminum or hybrid Sullivan's chute.  I live in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, so I am looking for one in the central Ohio area.  I will pick it up, and I will pay cash.  Please PM if you have one to sell and let me know what you are asking. 

The purpose is clear: Get more Show Chow items.  I am not going to copy the circles by the way.  I am afraid of the Show Chow Secret Service.  Plus, I just wouldn't do it. 

Hi, KMPSC, I am looking for the Purina Show Chow Circles as you mentioned.  HF CHARS, thanks for the info. 

I would like to buy Show Chow Weight Circles.  I am willing to pay $20 per 100.  I would like to just make a few bigger purchases, so please have at least 100.  If you are interested, please PM me.  Thanks for any help you can provide me. 

Hello, I was raised on a 200 acre hobby farm in central Ohio, and I grew up showing cattle.  I spent the last few years fighting my way through engineering school and, then, law school.  Now, I live in the Davenport, Iowa and work as a patent lawyer.  Now that I am out of school, I would like to...

I am not an expert by any means, but I used the Andis 5/8" blade on a heifer's neck last weekend.  That blade seemed to leave just the right length of hair.  Plus, because it's blocked, you can press it right onto the calf.  Good luck. 

I was watching the Kirk Stierwalt clipping video, and he uses what he refers to as a "bevel blade" on his Andis 2 speed clippers for clipping the neck.  Is a "bevel blade" the same as a medium blending blade?  Additionally, he also uses a 3115 blade on his Andis Progress clippers.  Does a 3115...

Brad, could you explain what you mean by "talks with their head?"  As I understand it, a calf's back should remain in a natural position while on the move.  But should the head move slightly up in down, or should it remain vertically still?  Thanks.

I quickly counted the show sheet, and it looked like there were around 60 steers.

As some one noted above, Jeff doesn't live in Muscatine (as I had originally said).  He actually lives in Preston, Iowa, but his Thanksgiving sale is in Muscatine.  Preston and Muscatine are fairly close to one another -- I'd say about 45 minutes apart, maybe less. 

Jeff Paulsen (I think) is behind the reserve champion steer.  He lives in Muscatine, Iowa.

I am looking into buying a new grooming chute.  For market steers, what length do people recommend 7 feet, 7.5 feet, or 8 feet?  Also, do people recommend aluminum or a steel/aluminum hybrid?  Finally, how well does the Sullivan board with padding work (runs around $125)?  I am worried that...

I know that this isn't in the classifieds, but this is the perfect string for those looking to learn more about show cattle.  Last night, I posted my Chuck McCullough DVDs on eBay.  Chuck's DVDs are really helpful, and they're a bit more affordable than Stierwalt's.  I am asking $34.99 a piece...

Dave Guyer leaves his halters off.  Otherwise, you train your calves to pull and lurch when there's tension on the rope. 

Online sales are where it's at.  I love looking at the pictures and the videos, but even I admit, I'd never buy one without seeing it in person.  Likewise, I'd say most other bidders have also seen the calves in person.  Like ZNT said, it's really dangerous buying a calf based on a video or...

I haven't looked at any cattle in Indiana, but the best calves that I've seen in Iowa were at Goretska's and in Wisconsin were at May's.  In Ohio, which is where I grew up, Shane's always have calves ready to compete at all levels, and they're great at helping their customers.  The best set of...

You can also dig at it with a show stick.  By doing so, the calf tends to suck it in.  However, this method sometimes draws attention to the problem and, thus, backfires.
