Ft. Worth Show

[blackwellfarms]

Who is taking junior heifers next week?  Open show the following?  Will have two in the junior and 5 or 6 in the open.  I know several on here are from Texas.

I bet there are quite a few going! Hope we can get pictures back from it!

We're there the week of the steer show with steers and two pens of heifers in the Commercial Heifer Show and Sale.

We were showing in the open "junior" heifer show with a Chi, but have backed out (see earlier post that caused such a tizzy).

 

[AAOK]

We're planning on being there....an old, sterile bull, and a cow that's been open for 26 years. ???

(lol) It took me a while to get it Dan!!!!

We will be at the Jr. Heifer show with a May '07 Brangus on Saturday and a January '07 Maine-Anjou on Sunday.  We will be back for the steer show 10 days later.  Probably will leave with our tail tucked between our legs on both occasions, but it will be the boys first Major and a good learning experience.

 

[showstick09]

I will be there too with my Red Angus heifer.

 

[blackwellfarms]

We will have a Jan 07 Simmental and a May 07 Maine Anjou for the Juniors.  And then four Maines and two Simmental for the open.  It will be my first open show and my daughters first time at Ft. Worth so it should be learning experience for all.  We will be stalled with the Ellis Co. 4-H.

Thank you  Ms Red
I hope i can be a worthy contributor to the board now that i'm officially a retired fella

 

[charlie4s]

I guess i should explain my unwanted retirement. On Dec 14  I  had a massive heart attack that left me with 70% damage to my heart muscle. Spent the holidays in the hospital and finally got to come home Jan. 4 .  Now i'm taking some good meds thats  helping and waiting for the next Dr. visit in a couple of weeks and will see where to go from there.
But now that i cann't do anything for a month and guess i will be getting on hear and letting wat knowledge i have out for all.

Have fun and enjoy life
Charlie

Welcome charlie4s. Posting on this board is a lot of work. So just forget about retirement.  (lol)
Sounds like you can give us some good pointers with show calves.

Does anyone know the date they pick the grand steer? I think it's Feb. 1st, but not sure.

Ain't it a small world. I thought I should have known you, being from Texas. Yep, Red even has got a Triple X calf . It weighed  right at 75lbs.

Fancy Dancer is just now starting to really prove her value, even though she has been gone for quite a while. She's showing up in a lot of pedigrees lately. DMCC had some of the best Maine cows and still does.

Charlie, I had my heart issues about a year and a half ago. I've lost track, but I now get up at 2 am and work like a crazy man until about 3:00 pm. Along with some other issues... this "Modern Medicine" stuff is pretty remarkable.

 

[sawboss]

Charle4s,
    I am sorry to hear about your heart attack, if there is anything you need help with do not hesitate to call me.  I appreciate the good luck wishes we will need it, the boys are really working hard to get ready.  Who has your light weight steer?

 

[charlie4s]

Sawboss,
I'll get through this just fine, i'm just weak still which is going to keep me from going to Fort Worth but I should be ready for houston and the county steer show.
My light weight steer is in Joaquin under the care of your ag teacher.hehehe

have fun and enjoy life
