Hey everyone, Just wondering where everyone goes to get their logos done to put on jackets, sweatshirts, hats or brochures? Want to be able to send it in to an embroidery shop to get put on hats and things like that! Also want it for wallpaper on phones and computers etc. Were the places you...

We have a show coming in the end of March, and we were wondering how everyone splits classes up after check in? Do they normally just do it by hand? Or do they have some software that can do it for you? We were stuck staying up late last year the night before the show and this year we are...

Hello All,       Its that time of the year again!  Time to start planning and booking rooms for the Iowa State University Cyclone Classic and AGR Spring Showdown.  We are very excited to announce that the show will no longer be in Fort Dodge, but it is now being held in Ames at the Brand New...

We have a Believe in Me Steer that just isn't growing like we want him too.  He just doesn't eat all the food we give him.  I would guess he is somewhere around the 600 pound range and is on 11 pounds of a "show mix" that we get from our local Co-op and 2 pounds of Grand 4 T Fyer from Purina a...

Hey everyone, looking for a Jack to rent so we can breed our female donkeys.  We live up in Northwest Iowa in LeMars (about 30 minutes North of Sioux City).  If anyone has any information, that would be awesome! Thanks! Also wondering what everyone thinks the best time to breed them would be? ...

Co-Chairing a Show this coming Spring.  We are thinking about running a two ring show with two different judges on one day.  We were thinking start with Angus Heifers in Ring A at maybe 9am and then start Angus Heifers in Ring B at 9:30am.  The exhibitors then would go from one ring to the...

We are in the process of putting up a barn that has an open front with runs going outside that we can put the calves in at night when we take them out of the cooler.  The barn is 40' long and 12' foot wide containing four 10' by 12' stalls separated by gates and the open front. We are just...

What is everyone's opinion on who the best Irish Whiskey Son is? I know they might all have something they do best, so state your opinion and give reasoning. Everyone likes something different.

What does everyone do? We keep our calves tied in our cool room so they don't mess with the fans and it also seems to calm them down a lot faster and easier.  It also limits where the manure goes so we don't have to clean as much bedding.  What other things does everyone do?

On Saturday morning I walked out to the barn to find a new little heifer calf out of one of our best cows.  I stood there watching for a while noticing she seemed to be trying to push out manure, but it just wasn't coming.  I went over to take a closer look to find that our new addition was born...

I know that a heifer born with a bull calf twin is supposed to be "sterile", but is there any chance that she actually could be fertile?  She was a very good cross for our herd and we were super excited when we found out she was a heifer, until we noticed the cow was still having contractions...

Ok, I know this is kind of a beginner question, but I see people talking about combing and brushing on here all the time.  Is it the same thing? or is it completely different? Should people do both to get the hair they want? Or does one or the other work better?  We have always just used...

Just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were on our Monopoly Heifer.  Just got her all clipped up for the show in Sioux Falls this weekend. All opinions welcome! Thanks

We have always just used pine shavings in our cool room as bedding and we are kind of sick of the ammonia smell. Was just wondering what others used in their cool rooms? I know cedar fiber is a big hit for most people. I am from Northwest Iowa and was wondering if anyone could help me out on...

This is a Monopoly x Meyer heifer that my friend and I bought this fall and have been working with.  We are planning to show throughout the winter and this upcoming summer.  Just wondering if anyone had any opinions of her? Also looking for any suggestions for her.  Unfortunately we just took...

Just wondering what everyone's opinions are on the best Maternal Show Bulls out there? Who has the best of both worlds in their genetics? Im guessing the Meyer bulls are going to be pretty high on everyone's list, but who else is up there?

Looking for any Fitting Classes or Fitting teaching around Northwest, Iowa.  I realize I may have to travel quite a ways to attend, but I believe the travel is worth it.  Thanks for any information.

I am from Norhtwest Iowa and looking for some open winter shows and some open shows this summer somewhat close to my area. Any information would be helpful! I don't mind traveling far either. Thanks for any input you guys have!

I have some angus cows that we are looking to AI this spring and I was interested in maybe using some simmental.  The cows are mostly angus and i was wondering what bulls i should breed them to to make some club calf producing babies.  Also have some heifers with angus and a little maine in...
