Like most people on this website, I want to raise show calves and sell them one day. We just bought some embryos out of Dixie Erica 258 x Jade's Dreamworks and some from Misss Anchor x WAGR Driver. They will be insemintated within a gew weeks. I really want to build a good simmental/angus herd...

This is my monopoly x dr. Who steer. He was born in February and is registered maine. He is not clipped and super hairy. Showing him at the Hoosier Beef Congress in a few weeks.sorry that the pics aren't the best.

Ok well we've found people to put the embryos in and then buy the cow from them. But I need help on knowing where to buy the embryos, because there are not a lot of sales going on right now. I also need help on what genetics I need to try and get. I'm not looking for a train wreck say clubby on...

I have done a search on here but haven't found much. Is he an underrated bull?? Plan on breeding him to my Simmental/angus cow tonight. I've heard the semen quality is tops and he is consistent. Please share your thoughts and experiences.

Well my brother is showing a bucket calf that is sired by Walks Alone (first AI calf). We are starting to wean him as he was born April 6th and the show is July 29th. What does a judge look for in selecting bucket calves/feeder steers? Would he/she be more opt to select a bigger calf that weighs...

He is a Sunseeker out of a Who Made Who/Angus cow. We are feeding him 2 panfuls a day of payload mixed with corn mix and beet pulp. Planning on switching him to barley base soon. He was last weighed on April 19th and weighed 1086 on empty and I am projecting that he is about 1200 now. Fair is...

This is my first experience with a cool room. We insulated an existing stall in our barn. We bought an ac window unit and placed our shaeffer turbo fan inside. The room is only for one calf. It seemed to  be running fine and felt cool. I just received my cool bot yesterday. BUt when we ran the...

I have a Walks Alone calf that was born April 6th. I want to show him at my county fair in the bucket calf class. The show is at the end of July/early August. My dad thinks that you cant wean a calf at 3 or 4 months of age. Is there a way to wean him in the heat of the summer? Luckily he lets me...

I have a cow that I bought an an auction last fall. Had a SAV peacemaker heifer calf March 31. I was wondering what you would breed her to? I have jesse james (really for a monopoly heifer) couple strwas of BIM and a straw of Walks Alone and a straw of Grandmasrer. Thanks!

I've read some posts on here as well as some info on coolbot.com. I just wanted some more insight on building a cool room. I have a 12' by 8' stall that's opened at the top. I'm planning on just putting 1 calf in during the summer. Need some advice on bedding, drainage, insulation, door, and the...

This is my first time with AI and due dates. I have a cow bred to SAV Peacemaker (Angus) due today and another cow due to Walks Alone on April 5th. Both cows are loose and the one that is due today, her bag is more filled. Anyway do most cows go over their due date, how much do they usually go...

Just wanted to know what eveyone thought on the subject. Recently in our county people have spent loads of money (taking out a house loan) to buy calves (just steers). I'm beginning to think that it's the parents trying to win a banner and not their child, maybe I'm wrong? It's very hard to...

This is my February monopoly heifer out of a doctor who cow. I showed her at HBC and she didn't do so well. All the judge said was that she was too terminal and steery for him. Unfortunately there is not a market heifer division that I can show her in. What I want to do is breed her next early...

Is anyone going to the Hoosier Beef Congress next week? What is everyone showing/selling? Does anyone know who the steer or heifer judge is? Also does anyone know if there are past Hoosier Beef Congress Grand Drives/classes online??

This is my steer for the 2012-2103 show season. He is a later march chianina steer that is siredby Sunseeker and out of a Heatwave cow. He is currently eating about 24 quarts a day of mainly Fitter's Edge with Preconditioning and beet pulp. He also has all the grass/alfalfa mix hay he wants. Our...

Just wanted to see everyone's thoughts for naming my steer. He is a Chi sired by Sunseeker.

I was just wondering if anyone had any pics of some top quality state fair steers as calves who sold last fall. I've been trying to search for them, but it's been hard. I'm just trying to train my eye into seeing what a "state fair quality" calf is as a 400-600 pound baby. That way when I'm out...

For next years show season I was thinking of choosing a black breed steer to show. However, what if I find a nice cross steer with good quality that is not black. He would stick out more to a judge.... but would a judge more likely choose a black steer over a colored steer? Why do often black...
