My girlfriend and I had or char/angus seers at the fair and placed third an fourth bhind the grand and reserve champions. My girlfriend was upset but I was fairly happy. I also won showmaship the night before. Sorry I don't have pics but I can't find the cable to connect the camera.

Mt steersinor show are 14-15 moths old. Our weigt range is bou 11-1300 and most are upwards of 1200. personally hav never had steer over 14 1/2 months old at our show and have never done worse than winning my class.

We had a girl in my FFA chapter whose mom tied her steer too high and went to feed the 20-30 horses and by the time she got back, her had gotten in a bind and somehow suffocated himself. I don't know all the particulars as I wasn't there but it was a very good steer and she is crushed. It's...

My Paps (Grandaddy) has a 4 or 5 year old cow who has had the squirts since he bought her as a heifer. She's in his herd is why I didn't know about this before. She is raising her third (I think) good heifer and got crippled for the last week of her first pregnancy. She's been fine since but...

Gettin old ain't easy, and it ain't always fun, but the grandkids are worth it. Told to me by my Grams about five minutes before her passing. Gramps died about a month before and as she finished her sentence that was her last, a dove landed on the windowsill and when she passed, another...

My girlfriend would answer "all of the above" Sad, isn't it?

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts. I guess that makes me a "user" I realy needed that laugh. :drink: :secret:

I laughed when it was just some clouds in the Gulf but then it turned into a hurricane, boy was I wrong.

My paternal Great-aunt has been in the hospital with a mass on her brain. After 9 days in Shands, she finally had the surgery, but they couldn't get it all. She has had hundreds of Grand Mal siezures this past week and a half and the doctors say that she shouldn't be here. Prayers have saved...

They were 780 and 790 last week. I'll get some pics soon and we grind our own feed. Total cost is about $100 per ton to make feed, including growing and storing our own grain. They are not getting too fat but they're growin like weeds even in the 95-105 degree weather. Our weigh-in and fair...

We use two vets. Our prefferred vet is a "Rolling" vet and is excellent. He will be anywhere anytime unless he's working at the sale barn on Mon. The other was a large animal doc but decided there was more money in clipping poodle's toenails. He's a pain but when you use enough bad words...

I finally got in the house for more than five minutes. :help: These bulls WERE purebred and fullbloods. Most of them were about like the black and white pic of the bull. They were nice but I've had too many judges tell me that my calves need more leg under them for Mg's to be much of a...

I've got two char/angus steers that are pretty good. Our initial`weigh in is in 3 weeks. they are eating nearly 50 pounds a day apiece, should I try to cut back or full feed ahead?

I just got back from a herd dispersal sale and the man had 3 murrays that were very short legged, is this a breed trait or was it just a fluke? I've been thinkin bout using one on my angus and angus/simmi cross cows.

We've grown cane for four generations on our place and we rotate it so that the soil isn't depleted and we've always done well. We're trying to get an ethanol plant about ten miles down the road that will run on cane, I told my girlfriend that I wanted it (The ethanol plant) for christmas...
