Watching some shows over the past month and perusing the show results, it appears to me that the judges are picking heifers that are more rectangular in their body shape rather than the wedge shape.  These heifers appear to me to be less feminine and plainer made than just a year or two ago. ...

Have a heifer that has either been sneaky about her heat cycles or is not cycling.  Did vet exam and everything normal and could feel follicles with everything in the right place.  Decided to use GnRH with lute a week later and did use the GnRH.  However, after thinking it over I was concerned...

Looking to use a couple of Charolais-based bulls on some Angus-Maine based cows.  What are the main differences between these bulls and where they will work (cow frame size, hair, thickness, bone size).  Yellow Repo is the only THF of the three.

We have an Irish Whiskey x Angus cow that had a spastic paresis calf a couple of years ago.  Do not want to do that again.  Looking at Unstoppable on this cow (couldn't get Monopoly clone with my main semen order), but see Unstoppable has Habanero (Pistol Pete x Powerplant) and Witch Doctor on...

Was rummaging around the tack room and found our set of Lister Star clippers again.  Tried to clip heads on cattle one time and the stock blade was what we used on lambs and just took the hair down too tight for clipping heads.  I know there are several blades that fit Lister clippers and am...

Kind of looking at Eye Candy and Monopoly for a couple of larger cows (1600 lbs.).  I think either one would have a decent chance of clicking with them.  How do they compare for calving ease?

I am wondering if there is any updated research on monkey mouth.  I pulled DL's quote from an old post: Monkey mouth is believed to be a recessive trait with variable penetrance - meaning that you can see widely varied phenotypes - from the calf that looks like a French bulldog without incisors...

If unable to use adhesives, what is best product for boning legs for a blow and go show?  Looks like shaving cream or Sullivan's white foam may be it.  Anything else work from the old days?

If anyone is interested, AAA released the list of known fawn calf carriers and those that tested free. http://www.angus.org/Pub/CA/CA_Notice_072610.pdf

We just had one of the registered Angus cows go down this morning after receiving 3 inches of precip in the past week and the first warm weather of the spring to get grass growing.  I knew it was coming, just had to figure out who would be first.  This cow calved the 1st of April and is a fairly...

Anybody watch the USA v. Canada Olympic hockey game?  Great game - both sides were really going at it.

Check out this web site.  Has some good stuff on it. http://unvegan.com/

Trying to gauge the finished weight and frame size of steer project.  Can anyone give me an idea how big Sunseeker steers finish out?  Not sure of his dam -- probably fairly average.  Have 800 lb. steer shooting for early August county fair.

If anyone is heading east on I-80 through Des Moines and anywhere near (even 100 miles or so) of Cheyenne, WY - I need to ship a stock waterer in the next couple of weeks.  Would pay some of your fuel for your trouble.

Just cruising through the Drudge Report and came across the link to this article.  Trying to figure out what the various permutations on nationalized health care would cost versus current private insurance and coverage.  Thought a new thread would be good on this...
