Does anyone out there know of anyone in Minnesota, Northeastern SD or possibly into some areas of ND that would have a Maine, Chi, Simmental, or clubby heifer for sale reasonably priced.  We have tried to purchase private treaty before but anything we like ends up getting higher than we are...

Wow!!!! Didn't think I would get that many posts on this subject.  I have done a few things suggested.  If you are curious about this heifer you may search all the postings under my name and you will find a picture of this heifer in October of this past year at about 5 months, but I dont think...

Dont want to be negative but I hope he is better than last year.  I would have liked to have been higher even though I was middle of the pack in a very hard class, but I felt the judging of the heifers was far superior.  I did not understand a lot of the market animal placings, but I guess every...

Okay just a young kid looking for advice!!!!  Maybe I should have consulted my father first before posting this as he does not think this animal has what you guys or gals are explaining.  Yes, I will have our vet look at this animal when he is out for preg checks in the next week.  It's not that...

Thanks for the advice, but we do not even know this is what everyone thinks it is.  She does not sit anymore than our other show stock and we have a beautiful Heatwave Heifer that was 5th overall heifer at the Wisconsin Beef Expo at just a few months old.  This may be because it came from great...

Again, I do appreciate the all of the comments good or bad but I think I will contact you after the first calf is born as we were hoping for a market animal anyway as this calf is very big muscled and should hopefully have a ripper steer or market heifer with hopefully some awesome markings. ...

I think we are going to try the first calf and see what happens after that we will have to see.  I just cant believe she would have these issues when the mother and sister had no structure problems that we are aware and from my understanding the mother has raised four nice calves thus far. ...

Thanks for the great replies even though a little negative.  She is swollen around the back knee area and it is more swollen around the left knee.  The funny thing is the mother and sister never had problems and this is the second Sunseeker that I know of out of the mother.  We did not notice...

I have a Sunseeker Heifer that I will be taking to MN State Fair that has very swollen back legs particularily on the right leg.  Yes, I understand some of this is in her genetics as I know some Sunseeker heifers really breakdown, but I dont think this is the full problem. Yes I should have...

i hoping just about everybody knows that it is bad showmanship to have your cell phone in you in the ring, well i was at a jackpot show in madison MN and in my showmanship class there was a boy that had his cel phone in his pocket and another boy who had no comb in his back pocket. the judge...

I will not mention any names put my children went to a small jackpot show in Minnesota near Ortonville and the judge at this show had have of the cattle bought from him and had his farm ear tags on in just about every class and yes we have even bought from him but not this year.  Our animal did...

We purchased a Sunseeker Heifer from Paul and Nancy Schmitz.  Paul passed away in a farm accident this spring but I believe she still has some cattle on lease and yes she is from Oakes, ND.  I know they had some really great cattle.  I don't have here # right know but if you need it I could...

Is any of you fitters out there going to be at the Minnesota State Fair?  JT Webers will be clipping and fitting a heifer we purchased through them for the Summer Yearling class 4-H division but we are looking possibly for someone to clip and prospect calf as we would like to get a good picture...

Is this a private treaty sale or pasture sale and is it in the show circuit magazine.  Also do you ever meet half way to deliver.  We are about 85 miles from Fargo, ND on the MN side but did purchase a Show Heifer this spring from Winona, MN and met half way.  Actually purchased this beautiful...

i would put a number "4" you know the Favre guy that plays for the MINNESOTA VIKINGS. maybe some metallic purple and yellow if you know what i mean

please help!!!! i am doing a vet science project for our county fair on acidosis/ laminitis. i have also been told by our local priority one dealer that my heifer may have a touch of acidosis.  has anybody had a problem with this or any info regarding this matter. any help would be greatly...

I am having a problem getting my heifers hair to stand up because it is so heavy. Does anybody know anything that would soften the hair and not make it so heavy??

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday for the fitting clinic if this is Justin's post.  We are the family from near Fergus Falls. 

Just a comment to add.  It is definately nearing show season as we are just sitting down for supper and have been working the last several hours with rinsing, blowing, rice root, leg hair.  I hope it all pays off.  Show your experiences if you would like.
