This is something I'm pretty passionate about.  We live in a semi-rural area.  Surrounded by lots of farms being sold for development.  I was never involved in FFA or any kind of ag program when I was growing up - but when I first had my kids and moved to where we are living now - it was still...

Thank you all for your replies and help.  We finally got a grooming chute so maybe next time I'll have some better pictures of the steer with him a lot cleaner and neater.  I really appreciate your advice, comments & critiques!

No, the guy's daughters have graduated - but I do realize that we are not in the "circle" of showers most likely to win.  This is a given at this fair and it's been like this for over 20 years - since my brothers were showing.   We know this and it has always been my philosophy - with our pigs -...

Thank you knabe.  I feel the same way - but every time I take him to be weighed I get our feed guy to look at him and tell me what he thinks.  He had me start adding corn to his finisher two weeks ago.  I asked him if he thought that would make him too fat by festival time and he told me that he...

I've been lurking on and off here for quite a while.  I've enjoyed reading and learning all ya'll have to offer.  This is my son's first steer - he is showing at our county fair in March 09. He was born in September 07 and a month ago he weighed 1003.  We are new at showing steers - we've shown...

I'd really like the info on the UF clinic.  We wanted to attend the Steirwalt - but a little out of our price range.  Thanks!

Well, my low temp was 40 yesterday morning - real cold by my standards.  I fixed vegetable beef soup last night with vegetables from our garden last spring - not as good as my hubby makes but still good on a cold evening.

Okay - how many of you have ever had a "real" cuban sandwich?  That's a sandwich made with cuban bread - not what is sold in grocery store bakeries - but the real thing baked in palmetto fronds - ham, fresh pork, salami, pickles, swiss cheese and mustard and mayo.  Hoagies and subs do not even...

I just got a kitten a couple of months ago.  He started as an indoor cat but now spends the majority of the time outside.  I got him a scratching post - not carpet - the twine kind and I used a spray bottle of water to spray him when he went to scratch the furniture or play in the blinds.  I...

It is true that children are a blessing from the Lord (I keep telling myself that!) - and  I've heard that grandchildren are the reward you get for not killing your children!

When my daughter first started talking (she just turned 18), she started calling my mother "memaw".  We've always called our grandparents "grandma" so we didn't know where the "memaw" came from.  One day when my family was gathered, I'm the oldest with two brothers, and we were doing our...
