My county has a class offered but no one shows.  Last year one girl showed a bull and heifer bottle calves and they just put them in beef class because she's like the only dairy person to show in a long long time

Nd vs bama.  Bama wins 21-17. 

Breed to your standard of perfect.  Not everyone has to like it.

Reno...just go show!  Have the good time and see how you come out.  If you win you win, if you lose at least you tried and are proud of what you raised. 

If you think twins are bad, we had a set of triplets at work a couple weeks ago. (i work at the dairy at kstate).  2 bulls and a heifer.  They all 3 could've fit in a feed sack.  Less than 50# each.  Surprisingly they were some of the best eating babies, up and ready for it...would have to say...

I haven't shown sheep @ Louisville, but they are working on the problems.  This year they implemented a rule saying a vet or other professional would be in the make up area inspecting lambs and that there would be random drug testing...don't know if it happened, but frankly give any market...

DNA testing on horses for registrations doesn't take long at all, normally just a couple days after the lab receives it.  I wouldn't think this type of deal would take much longer

Does anyone really know the facts?? 

Is he as post legged as he looks(at least to me) or is it how he's standing?

Typically, the higher quality grade you have the poorer yield grade.  This only to a certain extent, but still fairly consistent

Call your county humane society, just call the cops about it, does KS have something like IL does-hooved animal humane society.  You would probably have to go on the state level to get anything done.  I know in IL the dept of ag has the investigators and they do even the smallest large animal...

I'm not a fan of clubbies either especially the ones pictured in 4" of hair, but wowers!  He is definitely a nice one, can't wait to hear calf and calving ease reports

Sounds like you oughtta just plan on twins again next year and for however long you keep her!  One calf is for wusses LOL

I love the weaver dairy adhesive! Use it on my horses for a great all day hold.  Sadly they discontinued it.  Also use the lamb conditioner, propink, and purple shampoo.  Cheaper and way easier for me to get.  I don't find much difference in the lamb conditioner or shampoo.  I never used pink...

Wonderchic...I 100% agree with you on the t shirts!! I like a souvenir shirt but not to show in!

I fed show bloom once, but  I am switching from blending my own show feed to buying kents premixed.  That has it already in it.  So you know if they are a powder or pellet?  Seems like nothing likes to eat the powder supplements.  I don't wet feed either. Too many to mess with that

What are your opinions on adm/moormans fire extinguisher and natural fill??  I am looking into it for lambs next year, but just checking here as I may use it on a calf too. Has anyone used either of these?  I feed Kent currently, but the moormans supplements are more affordable.  And I will not...

Since we are bringing this back, I'll go ahead.  18, show a calf here and there, show sheep(primarily breeding), and horses on all levels.  I will be the first to say the amount of top coverage depends on the judge.  There's only a couple I will hike the tank top down a bit for.  Otherwise...

Thats a pretty respectable deer here in west central IL!  I'd be grinning from ear to ear

Prayers sent!  Also, please be very cautious with hay rides!  Heard today the son of a family friend fell off a wagon during a hay ride and passed on impact.  (They said he snapped his neck hitting the pavement.)  Please be careful!
