Please let me know your opinions on this heifer.  She is a January 5/8 Simmy sired by Hudson Pines' Optimizer out of a Hoover Dam cow.  Recently champion simmental at our county fair.  I'm planning on taking her to our state fair (PA Farm Show in Jan.) and maybe a few small local jackpot shows...

Although we haven't had any Bandwagon calves, I have seen quite a few really good heifers out of him.  The most notable one I saw was at Campbell's last fall, he priced her to me pretty high, but he ended up keeping her and showing her at our state fair and I believe recently sold her as a bred...

I know that it has been discussed in fairly good depth on this forum regarding getting hair to "pop" and really grow, but I have an Unstoppable steer whose hair absolutely refuses to do so.  Keep in mind that his dam is in the field in 90 degree heat and has shag hanging off her like crazy, and...

We have been feeding Sunglo feed for eight years.  My animals have always done very well on it and it has been a very good and reliable feed.  However recently we have noticed several issues.  I have had 3 clubby based steers in the barn since September and they have had very good hair.  After...

Thanks for everyone's input.

I need an opinion on this MAB x Friction Son calf quick.  Thanks

If anyone's interested, they sell in the Dwight Hamilton online sale on Breeders World, Lots 3 and 5.  I was going to bid but they're going pretty high and I don't want to spend that much on young calves - they could change too much.  Just passing this off if anyone's interested - sale's almost...

What does everyone think of these calves??  The first one is a MAB x Simmy Steer and the second is a MAB x My Turn Heifer Calf.

She didn't really leave me a whole lot of options besides trying the surgery.  I think we should run a round of antibiotics just to see if the swelling will go down some, but if I can't get the surgery done, she basically said that I could try to show him as he his. My concern is that this steer...

I have a serious issue.  My show steer has always been fairly sheathy, but recently I noticed that it seems worse than before.  Two days ago, I started noticing it protruding slightly and being swollen.  Yesterday it was even worse, so I called the vet.  When we looked at him today, the vet said...

That's what I was afraid of.  I don't really want to have to keep dying him over and over again - my shows are so close together that I would probably have several hundred dollars in dye by the end of the show season, and that doesn't even count if I dye my heifer string. Also, has anyone dyed...

I have a few questions regarding dye.  I know that multiple threads have been run on it in the past, but I need a few fresh opinions. I have a steer with great, velvety hair which has a slightly brownish tint which I am considering dying jet black. First, my show schedule runs from mid-April all...

Being new to SteerPlanet, I thought I should introduce myself.  I am 15 years old and a very active member of my FFA chapter and county 4-H.  I have been showing beef cattle for approximately 7 years and have done a bit of pig showing as well.  My grandfather has been breeding cattle for over 40...
