Clint check your PM

Maybe not from this year, but from recent past years lots of grain farmers have had LOTS of money they had to spend. Someone told me that at a well known sale last year of club calf producing females there were very few in the seats without seed corn caps on. It averaged over 10,000 on bred...

I mentioned a kid previously in this thread that showed my cattle and  always won showmanship contests here and that I really couldn't tell you why he won. He just won the Senior showmanship division at the National Junior Simmental Association Summer Classic. So I'm glad someone sees things I...

I like what Rober and VC said about there being more to it than the actual show. I am with Clint as well. And I certainly don't feel that anyone should be running around screaming. However, I take exception to this "Competition is great, wanting to win is as well, expecting to win everytime...

I am sure everything everyone else said was correct but all I see is the posture and the left arm like was pointed out before. I would disagree with Justin on the feet placement not being as important only because there are so many that will do the other things perfectly that becomes the...

It's ok that you've missed it. Probably couldn't see through the purple haze. You've probably missed all the disparaging remarks he's made to children as well.  And I certainly didn't mean to attack  his character. I mean how can you attack something that doesn't exist? He is a dope head. Ask...

Congratulations Justin you work hard and you deserve to do well.  (clapping)  (clapping)  (clapping) And it's uncanny how many comparatively inexpensive champions ones come from that place.  We had one. The reserve shorthorn plus at Denver a couple years ago cost $2500, from there. And I...

You'll never work your way up to anything higher than Chief Dopehead.

If you have gained any knowledge about ANYTHING, it was obviously gained independently of sense or experience.

But what about actual private treaty SALES? Money exchanging hands?

Sam 951! I haves some pictures of him and what a gorgeous bull that was! I believe that Litton was also a congressman and was killed in a plane crash. They had the most beautiful facilities back then. White barns with green roofs and white fences. As to what the cattle herd would look like if...

The combination of beef prices, poor job stability, and the fact that the devaluation of the dollar and high transportation prices have forced cost up on everything from groceries to show supplies, is going to put a damper on lots of kids ability to participate in the beef project.

When I was a kid my dad had just commercial cows. Sometimes he'd buy bottle calves at the local dairies and there were always one or two Holsteins around to put two or three calves each on. Somehow I had an ABS sire catalog and back then our ABS rep carried semen around and bred your cows AI. I...

I will go back through my old magazines and find a picture.ASA number was 10.  I believe Grant COULD be mistaken about his color although it could just be the picture is washed out. We had LOTS of Galant females and they were as he said, more moderate more belly and good milking. Unlike the...

If anyone ever wondered if you're a moron dope head this should again remove all doubt

Your point might be valid in a general discussion of EPD's. If you put garbage in you get garbage out. All you have to do to manipulate EPD's is have a large herd, use a bull with high and accurate EPD's on 1/4 of your cows and report 3/4 the rest as your own sires progeny who way outperform the...

I'm sure you know much more about the Limousin Docility EPD model than I do. But two things about that breed are that when the idea for the docility EPD was hatched there was a tremendous need for it in that breed. The association determined the number one area for needed improvement within that...

I think a little bit of common sense is in order here. Something those who run the ASA have long forgotten about. Some of the dumbest things I have ever seen written have been written in the "Register" by ASA board members. Not nearly as dumb as the two full page article written by the now...

With more and bigger dry lot dairies, milk production is becoming an even more controlled environment, too.

I am sure there are lots of good things to come out of all this sort of discussion and research. But the fact remains that there is much more variation in carcass related traits BETWEEN breeds than WITHIN breeds. Everyone knows that Angus and Angus cross cattle, Galloways and I am sure...
