I was assuming she meant up on leg but you know what happens when you assume...

Any word on who the judges are?   

Who all is going?   I know Davis Shorthorns has one that will be in the sale.  I also see MBar & AJ have some consigned.

We have talked about going but wondered what the acceptance would be for Braunvieh. Do they have an AOB class and if so, how big is it? We have never done AOB but doing something fairly local would be nice too. Is the heifer sale mostly show cattle?

Yes mostly show steer and heifer, with some breds, and a couple semen and embroy packages. Any catoluge yet? I think what ropy means is do they like some clearance under them(like back in the day) I still havent heard who the judges were

 

[HeiferShower14]

i was basiclly just wondering what the judges were like there

 

[BCCC]

no one knows because no one knows whos judging.

 

[aj]

I think we are taking a steer to sell,3 durham red bulls(pen show), and one display bull. We are feeding these bulls 14# of high noon feed aday I am told plus cane. ;D ;D ;D ;D

[HeiferShower14]

[Davis Shorthorns]

I am just taking the sale heifer.  Does anyone know if someone buys a heifer in the sale can they still show it the next day?  I hadn't found anything on that this year?  thanks

 

[kanshow]

When is the sale?  The heifer show is Saturday.  I'm not sure what the rules are regarding ownership but wouldn't think it would matter this time of year. 

 

[Davis Shorthorns]

The sale is Sat. night, but I thought that there was a show the next day also????  I might be wrong(it happens alot) but I though that was what happened last year.

 

[kanshow]

Well.. I'm often wrong too!!!    I think the steer show is Sunday..
