I'm in California

We are going to be selling our equipment (show chute, fan cage, tack box........)  how much do most people sell there used stuff for.  We don't want to over price or under price.  Thanks

When we had ewes we used Raising sheep the Modern way  It had a lot of good general info and  info on lambing also.

I would suggest finding someone in your area who is good at clipping and watch them and have them watch you so they can give you tips.  Your idea on clipping non show cattle is great because then it doesn't matter if you screw them up. As far as used equipment ask around in your area many times...

Hoo Doo (and off springs)

What area in Ca are you?  There are many great breeders who will help Silva Cattle is in Kingsburg and has a sale in a few weeks Randy is very good at helping, Bright and Leo also has a sale coming up.  There are many more.

What does she weigh?  It looks like your from Fresno?  When was the last time you weighed before and rate of gain?  It was very hot a week ago and that will effect the way they eat? 

At some shows it can not be avoided and the breeder may not even know a calf will be there with how much they get resold, I feel though if they know they are judging at a fair they should try to avoid selling a calf for that show, or if they know have a calf at a show they should turn down...

I would of told them if they wanted to get it reg. that they would now need to pay all cost  (including your membership). 

a shotgun

we are having a hard time finding one this year we like (love) in our budget.  I agree I don't want to have be talked into buying a calf, when we walk up at least one of us must gravitate towards that calf for us to get it.  I have had people sending me pictures saying I have a good one for a...

were the steers advertised on here or is it just in general? we went and looked at some steers that were in a online sale the other day many sold for 5ooo+ I would not have paid more than $1,500 for many of them, I'm glad we went and looked because my son was going to bid on some and he said I...

We are looking at some steers in online sales and was wondering who people use for transporting?  We are in California, not sure if everyone hauls this way Thanks

we use it (well showmaster) which merged with sunglo, our steers always eat it good and have good gain.

Im in California and we have a 120 day rule

change the routine, if you always walk her in the same area or pattern change it.

you can try a removable nose clip, it seems to get there attention a little more try it on him at home a few times before show so he know what it is. 

I would pull him off pasture or least limit it to night if he is around 700 he should be eating at least 15-18 lbs a day, and give him 1/2-1 flake of hay a feeding.  There are different things to give him to get him to eat more.  our fair is the first week of October and we aim to be around 950...

pictures would help some steers will finish around 1000. 

how much are you feeding at a time and how much feed are you feeding?  How old is the rice bran?  If it is old or got wet or something then maybe it doesn't taste good anymore,  did they ever eat it?  we have never had a problem with any animal eating it.
