    The Paylean Talk

    paylean is a huge controversy where we live. Many people are ignorant about the product, however, we do not use it on breeding swine. It is similar to ralgro in cattle in my opinion.

    Swelling question

    I know this doesnt exactly pertain to cattle, and im sorry. But i have a lamb that will be going to the fair in a month and recently he has swelled up around his brisket area. There is no cut so we are not sure what it is from. It has been a week and so far the swelled area went from soft to...

    Steers Won't Eat - At Wits End

    Try Corid with amprolium. Works amazing. just a few drops in their water for 5-7 days and they will be eating better.

    My friend had a whizard steer out of a clubby cow last year. He won a pretty competitive fair handily. He finished out extremely smooth and sound. hope this helps

    Thoughts on limestone dark horse for pb angus bull

    I don't think she is embarrassing at all. You have to commend yourself for trying and you look like you did a much better job than many first-timers around my area. Regarding the bull, however, I probably look into a bull with better calving ease for a first-calf heifer. The Answer would be the...

    Pulling back a Angus steer

    i live very close to you and i also went to the commonwealth classic so i know many of the products that are available around here. We usually use cottonseed pellets from southern states. They keep the gut working and they expand the stomach while keeping the calves full. Beet pulp would work...

    what does your County Fair give out for awards?

    Luckily I show in one of the largest and richest county fairs in my state. However, we work extremely hard to fund raise throughout the year. All of our fundraising goes directly into premiums and exhibitor gifts. Not only the champion gets a present, but everyone does. The champion gets an even...

    need more spring of rib on show heifer.

    I same issue. One thing that we use is cottonseed pellets. Unlike the hulls, the pellets expand in the stomach similar to beet pulp. In my opinion they are way more cost effective. A little bit of straight alfalfa hay wont hurt either. We mix some into the feed for heifers and then give grass...

    Whizard

    my friend had a killer whizard x THC cow steer. Not sure what the cow was, but she was clubby. He was a sweet baldy- hairy, super square, and perfectly sound. Won his county fair by a long shot.

    Exar Tryon

    my show heifer this year is an exar tryon x networth female. she doesnt have the most grow but she is about the most maternally appearing heifer i have ever seen. I will try to get a pic. Tryon is the full brother to Lutton so he has the genetics behind him. In my opinion he won't add any power...

    Implants

    I have read a few posts on implants. I have a calf that we are still struggling to get him to eat his 20 lbs a day. He is around 900 lbs. My grandpa wants to implant him, and I find it a good idea. However, I was wondering- does an implant actually affect appetite? Also, ralgro vs. Synovex? I...

    Italian stallion

    or it's just a scam to make people think the bull is worth something....Matt could've bought it himself and resold it for all we know

    Opinions on simmi bull calf (new pics)

    i like his stoutness. I think he could work well on a nice set of angus females to make some cool heifers

    I-80 fat cattle

    I wondering about the experiences that everyone's had with i-80 market steers. I've seen many i-80 prospect steers but only one i-80 fat. He was a good one and he won the county fair where i saw him. I was wondering because I never see any i-80 market steers/heifers on the lautner blogs nor have...
