Dexter Manley (Oklahoma State) probably wasn't missing his diploma at that point in his career either.

As a Big 10 fan and Penn State graduate, I welcome Nebraska to the Big 10.  Their addition adds another level of competition to the conference.  I whole heartily believe that the SEC is clearly the toughest conference in the nation right now.  That said, I personally believe that you have to...

Yes, I was talking about the QC fans.  Did they tell you they would have them in August?

The high performance fans are out of stock.  I see that the standard performance fans, at least the 24", moves 200cfm less air than the high performance one.  Has anyone used any of the standard ones?

I've really tried to refrain from commenting on these posts.  In the past, it was not unusual to see one of these political topics come up on here every couple of weeks.  I think it's totally out of control now.  This is not the CNN/Fox political debate web forum.  There are plenty of them out...

I agree with RCF.  I would also add Gigolo Joe and TLM Bouncer to that list.

I bred a heifer to him two years ago.  We ended up with a dead baldy bull calf and a crippled up momma.  I still like the bull, just not for heifers.  Some of the greatest lessons are learned the hard way.

He is definitely as safe a bull as you can find for heifers.  I have used him for several years with zero problems.  I steered a pretty good Final Answer calf last year which I wish I would have kept for a cleanup bull.  I am keeping a few heifers out of him as replacements.  I used his son...

wscc, You have just complicated my life immensely.  I have really like Benz since the first time I saw him.  I am keeping some angus heifers as replacements and was sold on breeding to Bouncer.  Your comments now have me rethinking the whole thing.  I will be breeding several cows to Benz at...

I hear what you're saying regarding Benz.  I ordered semen to use on 2nd calving heifers.  I'm still not sure I'd use him on a first timer.  He may, in time, prove to be a great calving ease sire.  It's just not worth the risk to me.  I think Bouncer is a more logical choice.  I have been very...

That brought back bad memories for me.  My father was a turkey calling addict in the late eighties.  At one time, he had 53 mouth calls stored in our refrigerator.  No one could come to the house without him saying "hey, how does this sound."  We were all thankful when he turned his attention to...

Will feeding cooked corn burn off hair?  I have often wanted to try cooking corn but have been weary because of this.

I was at the Penn State game.  I sat in the rain for 5 hours.  I had a very uneasy feeling the entire game.  The Hawks just kept hanging around.  In the end they kicked butt and sent me home depressed and wet.  I hope you guys run the table and get a chance at USC in the Rose Bowl.  If that...

I have to disagree on the subject of cosmetic dehorning.  Our county fair has a "no horns" rule.  We used to use conventional means to dehorn calves going to show.  The other year we purchased a steer for my son which was cosmetically dehorned.  To the unsuspecting eye, the calf was born...

I was never a fan of Michael Vick.  I always thought he was overrated as a quarterback.  That said, he was convicted, sentenced, and served his time.  I never saw him on TV crying about the sentence.  I earned more respect for Vick taking responsibility, humbling himself, and quietly serving his...

Our county fair has been blow and show for about 15 years now.  We can use only water and joy soap as well.  I agree showsteer09.  I am hoping that in the future the fair board will once again allow fitting.  I would be fine with no paint or twine.  We used to have a fitting competition on the...

If you plan to visit Gettysburg, arrive at the welcome center early and hire a private tour guide.  I would call ahead and find out the specifics.  If I remember correctly, the cost was about the same as touring on the air-conditioned buses.  They ride with you in your vehicle and the experience...

Most are capable for praying for more than one thing.

justintime, I agree with you 100%.  Unfortunately, we are in the minority.  In my humble opinion, we should be breeding free cattle to rid ourselves of genetic defects.  I was glad to hear that the Maine Association was not registering carriers, only to be disappointed when they reversed their...

Brad, The video was really good.  I agree that the videos really do more justice for the calves than a simple picture.  I love you series on real barns.  When is the next one coming out?
