In our showbarn, our pens are sized to hold one to two calves. We are looking to add automatic waterers, but aren't sure which ones to get. We don't need anything fancy and definitely don't need them heated. Does anyone use the bowl type waterers? How about the ones where the cattle have to push...

I know this sight is more geared to northern type cattle and club calf genetics, but I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on thi Brangus heifer that I rasied. She is a January 2015 heifer. In this picture she had been weaned off the cow for about two weeks.

We are in the planning phase of building a new show barn. The dimensions I have in mind are 50'x100'x16'. Here is a drawing on how I'm planning on laying it out. The entire feed room, wash rack and storage area will be concrete. Of course the pens will open up to traps on the outside for nightly...

I'm in the process of planning and building a new show barn. I'm looking for recomendations on what brands and types of water troughs to use. I will probably split the trough with a fence and water two pens on it, with a maximum of two cattle per pen. I live in the south, so freezing is not a...

Anyone ever heard of a bull named "Red". He's a yellow jacket x heatwave. Anyone have any pics of him?

I've got a week old calf that can't fully straighten his front legs. He gets up and down and moves around and nurses fine, just is bucked over at the knees. Is there anything I can do to help him straighten his legs or do I just have to wait and see if he gets better. If anyone has had this...

Picked up this steer from Tony Austin in Weatherford, Tx today. If you need a calf in that area, I'd suggest you go see him. Great guy.

My kids are interested in showing a steer in Denver next year. I'm trying to do some research and am having trouble finding info. Can anyone tell me where to find historical weight breaks? Also , what percentage of the steers make the sale? I found what the champion and reserve steer sold for...

Why are all the fences in the background of photos of cattle all running uphill? What's the point of altering the image to look this way? Anyone have any before and after photos they can post to show the difference?

We have been lookin for a couple of new show steers for our fall county show. This has to be the absolute most frustrating search I have been a part of. I'm just not finding anything that I like, and when I do, it's priced so ridiculously that I'm suprised anyone would buy it. I had a guy tell...

So my daughters turned 8 years old this year and can show their first steer. I brought these two up out of the pasture for them. Let me know what you think. Please excuse the rough clip job as I am only used to slicking them. These are the first haired calves I've clipped.

All feedback is appreciated.

My son has a steer we are targeting for an October show. He currently weighs 1140 pounds and is getting too fat too early. I thought about supplementing him with the fitter 35 to burn some fat and build muscle. Can the same thing be accomplished simply by increasing the soybean meal in his...

I've got a group of cows up to A.I.  I've always used a spotter bull, but I've sold mine as it's been a number of years since I've done any A.I. work. I breed on natural heats, no synchronization. Does anyone know what the dosage of testosterone propionate is to turn an open cow into a spotter cow?
