Got a calf from someone that must have left the halter on too long, the calf is really sore and raw behind the ears and somewhat on the nose but not as bad as behind the ears.  Not putting a halter on him and going to give him some time to heal but just curious if anyone has had this happen and...

I currently have an 09 Cummins with 95,000...I have had the turbo replaced once and I have no doubt that it will need to be replaced again soon.  Great motor but the front end seems to go through ball joints faster than I would like.  The warranty is good until 100,000 miles so the pickup still ...

How do you take care of your show halters?  We only show a couple of times a year, in the summer, and when we get out the show halters they are usually a bit moldy and the leather is stiff and dry.  Any suggestion on how to maintain and store them? Also, we have always used vet wrap on the...

Does anyone know where I could find a fan bracket that is a combonation of the Sullivan Fan Bracket Hanger: https://www.sullivansupply.com/cart/ia/p-500-fan-bracket-hanger.aspx And the Sullivan Triangle Fan Hanger: https://www.sullivansupply.com/cart/ia/p-500-fan-bracket-hanger.aspx I like...

Kind of an off the wall question so not sure if I will get any responses but has anyone found a good way to transport the Sullivan double blower cart in the trailer?  They work great at the show, no better way that I know of to store and transport the blowers but on the trailer I can't seem to...

Just spent some time cleaning up several sets of clippers yesterday to get ready for the year.  We usually use Sullivan's Final Bloom to oil the blades on our clippers, we always have it and it seems to work.  I know there are some spray oils that are made for clippers and wonder if this is any...

Anyone still using Orvus?  Anyone my age (42) has certainly grown up with Orvus but we haven't used it for years.  We show horses and will be going to some Palomino shows this fall and some people still swear by Orvus as the best soap available for getting a mane, tail, and body clean. Mike

Not to long ago I saw a post in which someone was looking for a hot walker or plans to build one.  Here is one that is really cheap if it happens to be close to where you live. http://omaha.craigslist.org/grd/1903894739.html Mike

My daughter is going to show a cow-calf pair at the county fair next week.  We have a small cattle show that starts at 1:00 pm, by the time we get through showmanship and on to the calves and pairs it will most likely be 2:30 or so.  If the show was in the morning I would let the calf nurse at...

I bought my daughter a horse in KY and will be meeting in St. Louis in a few weeks to pick him up.  Will have an empty trailer on the way and room on the way back if anybody has anything going either way and would like to help with a little gas money let me know. mike

I currently have a 20 foot stock combo trailer that I am use to haul to both cattle and horse shows, it has a 16 foot livestock compartment and a 4 foot tack room.  It has served me well for several years but as we start to spend more time a horse shows I an seriosuly considering buying a horse...

I am working on putting togeather a cash flow for some cows and trying to decide what a fair number to use for average life expectancy of a cow (useful life).  Do any of the breeed associations track this number?  Anyone ever seen any numbers in regards to this?  I am thinking about using 10...

I saw a post on CL offering show cattle, semen, and supplies and contacted the seller to see what they had.  I got no reply.  The link takes you to the main index of SP Classifieds.  I searched on Google and found the same post in three cities...looks like SP is spamming CL...

I just got an email saying that Apex was going to be selling their cattle online instead of talking them to Denver becuase of all of the snow and cold we have had here in the midwest.  I am staying home from Denver for the first time in about 25 years, the snow and cold have me wore out.  It's...

Does anyone use a 3000 watt generator to run a blower?  According to Sullivan's their blower uses 2185 watts of power so in theory a 3000 watt generator should run one blower.  It should also be able to run 3 or 4 fans at a time (not the same time as the blower)  I realize a lot of people think...

It seems like there are calves everywhere selling for $10k, $15k, $20k, and more.  Shortly after I started college, which would have been the late 80's, I recall being at the Stoltz sale in Nebraska and a steer sold for $5,000 and that was a big deal.  When did we get to the point we are at...

Does anyone know how long Sullivan adhesives, paints, and hocus pocus will last?  A lot of the shows we have been going to are going no fit so we have a little excess of these.  If they will last a long time I will keep them but if not I will give them to a friend who goes to a lot of breed...

I didn't want to hijack the other "dumb calf" thread so I started a new one.  When I saw the title it made me think of something my daughter and I spoke about last week.  We have 6 cattle that we are bringing to the county fair.  Of the 6 there are 5 that are very easy to catch in the open lot. ...
