Need a ride from northern indiana and western ohio to virginia or somewhere near VA (west va, pennslyvania, or maryland would work). thanks!

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...

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...

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...

I have had multiple issues over multiple years with steers not eating. This year i got sick of it and went ahead and purchased an higher priced (than our normal budget) show feed from the local co-op. Its a 12% with flaked corn and a nice molasses scent. My steer still will not eat. We have...

We currently have a steer that has a small twist. It takes away from his eye appeal but its not that much of an issue. If you pull away the hairs, the very tip is bald. Will this ever grow back? Is there anything you can do to help this? Thanks!

I was curious about this bull. whos his sire/dam? i know shatto has some calves out of him

I just wanted to see what people thought about choosing prospects. Is there a method to pick one out that will be a good prospect and become a good fat? It may sound like a dumb question, but there are people in my county who usually buy two calves that will show well as prospects and two that...

Looking for a good shorthorn or shorthorn plus steer in Virginia area. Thanks

I have one month to go and my calf has really slowed down. He is pretty well covered but i don't want him to get stale, especially in the last month. We have a guy who is a state grader who is my neighbor, and he said my calf would grade choice - today. However, he went from eating 20 lbs a day...

Its getting hot! My steer is losing most of his hair, however, i would like to keep some for the fair. Is there anyway where i could keep a little, especially on the legs and the tailhead etc., but not worry too much about the body? Not many people in my county keep hair and my calf doesnt need...

This sounds really dumb, but how do you use it? and are there any other ways to get rid of dead hair? my show is the end of july but my steer almost has a body full of dead hair. I'd like to get him a new coat! I also dont have a cooler, just a lot of fans. Thanks in advance.

My steer is only eating about 10 lbs a day at most. He should be eating about 20. Our fair is the end of july and i dont know what to do. He stays in the stall under the fans all day and he is let out in a gravel pen at night. Does he need to be let out on grass and get more excersise? If anyone...

I was just curious whether blowing out and carding leg wool helps "train" and grow the wool. I show cattle and i know rinsing and training the hair is imperative, but for lambs does it really make a difference and does it help the hair? My second question was about feeding. My lambs are on a...

I have a steer who has pretty nice hair. He is a walks alone son x maine/angus so and his father is a TH carrier. He has hair like most club calves. However, he has a white flank and the hair is very curly and fluffy but kinda thin. Right now he is being blown out every morning, kleen sheened...

I have an angus based cow that i would like to breed for her second calve. I would like something that has clubby style but has the thickness of a simangus. I need to clean up her front. I was thinking as my choices from 1 to 3: 1. Hara's Real Steel 2. KLS Hlafblood 3. JF Foundation I would...

I have a second calving heifer that i need to breed. She is very maternal: she is at least 75% angus with a touch of maine and a little dash of chi. She has angus maternal traits however she has alot more power than an average angus cow. She has too thick of a front end for me, id really like to...

She's an Ali son x PB shorthorn. I just clipped her up today. I would like to see maybe a little more power but I love her front end, feminity, and depth of flank. I want y'alls opinion on her. She's an April calf and I'm pretty happy with her considering she's eating mostly silage and she was...

I was just wondering what yalls opinion of the lautner bull Choppin Wood is. I think he looks like a tank in the picture but  I have not heard of many calves out of him this year. If you have calf pics could you please post them and if you have any opinion at all could you post that too? Thanks...

This is probably a dumb question, but do they have classes for British heifers? My neighbor told me that besides registered heifers, everything automatically goes into "crossbred." But I know at most shows and at my fair there are purebred, british, continental, and AOB for steers. Thanks for...
