    The most humiliating moment in my show history this weekend

    OK, I had the most humiliating show experience ever this last Saturday.  My great niece has a goat and so does my son, well her mother is going through a divorce and so I thought it would be good for her to go to this little goat jackpot this weekend to get her out of the house.  This is her...

    How did you learn to back a trailer?

    You know, I was thinking the other day, I've come a long ways on backing the trailer.  That was absolutely the biggest dreaded thing of the whole show animal thing.  Now remember I grew up in the city and never lived on the farm.  The most horrifying thing I had had to encounter in helping my...

    colicky horses

    Last night we had a pretty scary night.  WE went out to put some round bales out for the cows at about 9:00 last night.  When we went out my husband went to the horse pens for some reason first and noticed that four of our five horses were down.  Laid out flat, not getting up, nearly dead to the...

    What did you do today?

    What did you guys do today on President's Day?  Now I didn't get it off because it was a holiday but because it was staff development day and that day isn't included in my contract, just so happens it fell on a holiday! (clapping)  Well, I made a ton of halters and goat collars this morning. ...

    How do you "county-fairerize" your cattle?

    Just wondering what everyone does to get their cattle ready to take to the fairs when they've been on 160 acres with no balloons, bicycles, and tractor pulls? We used to live in town when we first started raising our brahma's.  We had our 80 acres but it was 10 miles north of our house and too...

    What makes your cows go absolutely crazy when they see or hear it?

    We had  my son's show heifer last year get spooked by my husband and son walking behind the barn by their pen in camouflage.  They were going coyote hunting and it just totally upset that heifer.  She went through barbed wire 4 times before we got her calmed down plus it started to pour rain (go...

    What is the target weight for your show steer on show day?

    I was just wondering this question because we don't actually show steers, we show bulls and heifers due to we raise for breeding stock.  The reason why I ask, I have a ton of people who buy halters and are looking for various sizes all labeled "steer size".  I list them as being up to 1,300...

    Anybody showing at Houston?

    Just wondering.  We might drive down for the Brahma show, we were planning on showing but since I changed jobs ( school nurse) to another district, it kind of messed up my personal days. :'(  So we'll probably just be watching!  I do have a friend who is going to take some halters down for me to...

    Winter calving

    Anybody got any good guesses?  No, this isn't a trivia question or joke, I'm being flat out dead serious!  We raise brahma's and this is the first winter since we've started raising them that it has been this cold that their ears have frozen and had frost bite.  My son's first calf that we had...
