While looking at some calves the other day, for some reason Chris popped in my head....  Just wondering if anyone out there had heard or seen how Chris's calf crop was looking this spring?

Forcheyhawk ~ I'm talking about a live auction online as well.  The administrator of the auction (auctioneer) is sitting at the kitchen table of the breeder/seller and they track every animal as it is being bid off.  The auctioneer has all the info on who is tied to every bidder, therefore so...

"Fabricated bids" to say the least!  If you know how these auctions work, the auctioneer and seller can see exactly who is bidding what throughout the whole process.  They are able to run you up probably even easier than in a public setting through the use of multiple bidder numbers.  They can...

For those of you that have seen the Dottie heifer in person, how does she handle her rear wheels?  I'm only going off the video, but I'd like to see her with a little more flex and extension in her back legs/hocks.  Maybe its just the video or her not cooperating, but she sounds like the...

10K is a lot more than they'll get at the sale barn for those stale state fair losers.

Flair is the product developed by the Wilcox family in Indiana, they have shown numerous champs over the years including IN St Fair and Kansas City Grand Champs, year after year they have some of the hairiest yaks around, if you saw the fur on their steer this year you know what I'm talking...

I love to bone a great set of legs.

Grand steer $42,000

Calved some, fed some, and showed some.  I've seen the bull mature as well.  Will give the cow a shot of thinkness and bone with a nice soggy look.  Hair...might as well be a yak.  Cons: cow better have a nice front end and be sound.  Like a lot of the clubbies, he can make one sound on a sound...

Steers Grand McIntosh Chi ~ Shouldn't have even won the Chi's, complete/pretty/no power Res Vickland Cross ~ Brockle that was Res at Denver, stout 3rd Clark Res Cross ~ Soundest cross is champ drive, complete/not much power, a lot like the other OH steer 4th Fulk Char ~ Nice but straight up...

Had a first calf heifer with a real nice bull calf on her.  She was thin and not milking well so we brought her up to feed her some grain and put her in a pen with another older cow and calf.  That cow was 1/8 Holstein and had more milk than her worthless calf could consume.  The good bull calf...

She appears to be heavy boned, have adequate thickness, and is really extended out of her front third.  I'd give her a touch more depth throughout.  She could use some more forerib and depth of flank would help her out a lot.  Get her on the right feeding program and she has the parts to be a...

Might just be the pic but that's all I have to go off of.  She looks to get a touch weak behind her front shoulders and I'd like to level her topline out a touch.  Just guessing but I bet she doesn't hold that topline when in motion and tends to roach a little.  If you knock a little more of...

There's a more recent picture of that steer on Hanewich's website.  He's for sale.

We have the pvc plastic sheet that you're talking about in ours and yeah it's not cheap but it works great.  Easy to clean and waterproof, it will last forever, and a pressure washer will blow all the hair and dirt right off.  Make sure to use stainless screws though too (also not cheap) to...

I agree 100%.  Is it coincidence that a lot of heifers (and bulls for that matter) that are shown or on display never produce anything themselves.  Yeah it could be genetics, or being fed too hard and too fat, or stress ~ but why doesn't anyone ever talk about the fact that they might be...

For me to make him perfect ~ I'd add length to his hip and lower his tailhead set which would level his top, add more lower quarter, extend and clean his front up a tick (less cresty), and most of all give him more depth of flank.  He could use a shot more bone too.  A few of these things have...

I heard 180 head steers and heifers combined.  Not many head but good quality.  The threats of weather probably kept people at home but they barely got a dusting of snow and it was over 40 today for the steer show.  Steers: Grand-Martin-Simmi shown as Xbred, Res-Vickland-Res Xbred, 3rd-Duke-Chi...
