    Accelerated Genetics Troubles

    Talked to the guy in my region about buying a tank 3 weeks ago, said he had some coming in the next week and that he would put my name on one. Gave hime my information and haven't heard back since. Tried calling twice this week and sent an email today. Still nothing. The tank I want is one sale...

    Missouri Beef Expo

    Missouri does not have a beef expo. The Mizzou AGR is usually in early Feb, but has been moved to March 14-15 for 2015. It is also usually in Columbia, but has also been moved to the state fairgrounds in Sedalia. There is usually a show every weekend from March-April. Either check out the MO...

    Daily hair routine

    Everyone says to rinse 2-3-4 times a day, but I'm just letting you know that you can still get a shaggy calf with a healthy coat just by rinsing once a day, and without a cooler! That's all my parents allowed me to do and I always had calves with shag and everyone just assumed I had a cooler...

    Desperate need of help with open wounds due to halter breaking!!

    Yes get that halter off and let it heal! You might not be able to tie him up for while, but at least while he's eating get your stick out and scratch all over him, and if he'll let you get a comb on him too.

    showing at the Missouri State Fair

    So you'll be down there during the busiest few cattle days, and the good concerts are usually during those days too! Good luck!

    showing at the Missouri State Fair

    Like they said, the bedding sucks. Its a mix of gravely sand, but if you keep it wet down it's not so terrible. Some bring artificial turf grass that will keep the calves a lot cleaner. There is usually plenty of barn space. It does depend on when you'll be down there though about where you'll...

    Calf weak after hard pull

    Had one just like this last year, a big, backwards bull calf that my dad had a heck of a time getting out. He was stiff and didn't move a lot the first couple of days, but we made sure he got up and nursed and he turned out just fine.

    AI-ing

    Go to school and learn, but make sure you know of someone close that can still help. The college I go to offered a two-week summer class about AI. We were in the classroom some and in the barns some learning the technique. Unless you get a lot of cattle to practice on, have someone else handy to...

    How long will clipper blades last?

    I just got my blades sharpened and as far as I can tell they still don't seem very sharp at all. I've had the guy do it before so I know he knows what he's doing. This might be the third time a couple of these blades have been sharpened so I didn't know if after so long it was best to just buy...

    Failed Breeding

    It was actually Mercer Co. Missouri, but thanks for the info! She was actually just with the bull for about 24 hours. She's fairly hairy and it was super hot when she did come in so turning her out for a while really wasn't an option. This is also my last year to show so I've been trying to hit...
