We had a heifer one time that kick at everything. Tied her up and rolled a ball under her and in between her legs, behind her back legs. Did this for 2 or 3 days, for about 30 -45 mins. a day, did the trick, she stopped kicking. The ball was one of those plastic/rubber balls that are in the...

I'm sure that numbers are down in the TJLA partially because of the economy. But, then some of it may be that the political games that they play have finally caught up with them. I know of several families that have had older kids go through the TJLA and they are not going to let the younger...

TJLA has picked up some new major sponsors so that shouldn't be a problem, the problems going to be the members. Have you looked at how few members they have this year, considering the extra points that they were giving out for becoming a member early. Some heifer breeds don't have but 8 or 10...

Yes, because those nice perfectly straight backed, squared animals, look that way because of the hair. The judge could actually see the animal. Houston, San Antonio and State Fair are all slick shows. They have plenty of steers at them. The best steer ends up at the bottom, because the judge...

Just a question, who would all these people be that would be excluded? When a calf is cut, made into a steer, there's only one use for that animal, Meat. If it is a market steer show, imo, they should be slick sheared so that the judge can judge finished market steers. If they want to have...

One of the things that I have noticed is alot of the cheating, in both steers and heifer's, is done by either your so called steer jocks and in heifer's the parents of kids, (that are too old to show in the junior shows and they(the parents) just can't seem to get a life :roll: ), that put...

Do everyday. My mom went through chemo off and on for 5 years, plus numerous surgeries, she passed on back in 2003. So I include everyone that is suffering cancer and the chemo and radiation in my prayers. mom

This is just my opinion. I think that all steer shows should be slick sheared, because you don't eat the hair. I have seen too many shows full of black fluffy steers and it's like the judge forgets the ones that he felt that were finished, I don't know if it's because they all look alike or...

Like I said it was just a question asked during a conversation, I didn't really go into the details on the why or who. In a way wanted to know who it was, but then in another way didn't. However, supposedly wasn't anyone that we do business with, so that made us feel better. Could be several...

1st, I am not condoning(sp?) this and we have not and will not do this. We play by the rules. Be it we end up at the top or at the bottom. However, as everyone knows, alot don't play by the rules. This was just a question that someone asked us and we have not had a lot of dealing with...

We had this question proposed to us and we were wondering if it's possible or not. If cow A and cow B are full sibs, both embryos, for some reason cow B doesn't have a calf, so cow A's calf is registered to cow B, would it dna to cow B since they are full sibs and from the same flush...

We have 4 that come every evening right up to the yard fence and aggravate the dogs. Actually, they are coming up and checking where we are cubing the cows over the fence. Steven has shot at them a couple of times with his bow, smart little suckers, jumped out of the way. The position that...

Does the jock live in the same county? The following is the rule that we have in our county. Of course, I don't know that any representative from the fair association has ever checked anyone. 13. Any animal that is to be exhibited in the Junior Livestock Show must be cared for in Montgomery...

When my son started showing back in 2001, we used the Cattle Calm on a couple of heifer's, like other's said, not so much for the heifer as for my son, made him feel more calm and secure. Later is when they came out with the comments about that something in Cattle Calm was illegal. So we...

We had one vacuum sealed about 10 years ago, I don't think the meat lasted as long as the paper wrap. I know that there is still at least one place around us that still does the vacuum sealing, it cost more. We had to use a new place this time around, Hoffarts went out of business, white...
