    Illegal Immigrant Solution

    I like JITs idea although there probably is some flaws as our Canadian cows that expect to be eaten at some point would all become sacred and the few slaughter plants left would be forced to close. The cows wouldn't understand a word said to them or we'd have multi- lingual cows as theres so...

    Manufacturing a steer

    For all the nay sayers out there. Approximately 20 years ago there was an incident that happened at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. In the 4H steer show known as the "Queens Guineas", the Grand Champion was found to have had it's brisket altered. The young fellow who had entered the steer, it...

    Check out my yearling Shorthorn Bull

    'Lil Hilltop, Your bull looks excellent. I'm sure you'll be gettin' a visit from JIT. 20 miles is nothin' for him with the miles he puts on in a year. Good luck, I'm sure you are going to be wearing alot of smiles and getting your pic taken with this guy a few times this year.

    Lets breed a little highland into them?

    The Highlands definitely are hardy. One drawback for me is, they're manhunters when they calve, for about 2 weeks and then it's back to the docile laa-tee-da attitude.  My brother had a dun highland cow. He used his Shorty bull on them.......Hairy, hardy and good eatin'. I fitted a Galloway x...

    Schrag Shorthorn Bull

    Like the heifer and planning on getting to see her in the near future Shady Lane........my  Panther heifer and their Timeline are going to have some fun this year. Did the Angus breeder tell you that when he was wet behind the ears he worked at Tutuira Farms so he's not technically a rookie...

    Headgates

    I have self locking feeder panels myself and they are the best investment you will make. A hereford breeder I fit for has all his yards set up with them. It's set up so that in the fall we can lock all 65 cows in at one time and vaccinate and preg check so easily. No stress on the cows and less...

    The Last Straw

    I see now where you were going with that JIT. Agreed. There were some awesome Scotsdale bulls and you are right some ahead of their times. Funny though when I was a kid I heard some say Scotsdale cattle were behind the times... yet they still topped the sales in Ont. at the time. Emerson Clarke...

    The Last Straw

    JIT, I'm surprised at your statement regarding the old semen and not knowing what people are thinking..........What's the pedigree on HC Mists Return ........old semen is it not or did you Cryogenically freeze Highfield Irish Mist. So to say to each his own is correct........I personally would...

    Gooseneck on a 1/2 ton truck

    I wouldn't advise it.......I used to use a single wheel one ton. Had a friend a number of years ago lose his life when he blew a back tire and the truck did a 360 on the gooseneck and sheared off the front of the truck. That cured me.....bought a dually right away and have had one since.

    Spring has Sprung?

    Been amazing weather here in Ontario. Only the odd snow drift or bank to melt. No mud to speak of. Tomorrow might be different. Calling for freezing rain.

    stolen blowers and cart from the ohio beef expo

    Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sorry to say the same thing happens here in Canada........some shows you have to check your underwear frequently to be sure they haven't been stolen. They won't stop at theivery at shows. A couple of years ago they broke into my garage while I was at work and...
