My new Heatwave heifer I got today  :)

Where do you get this soft step? I live in Indiana too. Is it expensive?

Thanks for the feedback.

Has anyone used any All Aluminum Show Equipment? I am looking at buying there 3 wheel show box and was wondering if anyone has used products from them before and are they nice, well built, and durable? Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thanks.

When is your sale?

I show cattle and haven't shown pigs for a few years now but we have an empty lot and I have thought about throwing a few feeder pigs outs there to fatten up and butcher and sale. What would you recommend as far as feeding goes and how much on average would it cost to feed pigs out. Also how...
