aplus, A guy near us had someone who kept breaking into his shed. He rigged some kind of contraption up on the door that snapped and broke the theif's finger. When he started screaming it woke the guy up and he was able to catch the theif - the kicker is it was his brother in law.... In...

[/img] This is Daisy - she was an excellent show heifer and proving to be very valuable as a cow. I'm praying for a heifer out of her this year!!

a nice money clip or pen set or gift cert/card for restaurant

Mike C - that's exactly the point I was going to make. Regardless of each cattle person's personal preference on frame size the amount of land available has to come into play eventually. Especially in an area like ours that is urbanizing very quickly. You either have to reduce the number of...

Isn't it just about having good cattle? I really wouldn't care if one was purple as long as it has the traits I'm looking for. Isn't crossbreeding done usually to bring about the best traits of both breeds to improve your herd? I don't think the associations are wrong for recognizing that...

If you are paid as contract labor do you still have to pay social security at the end of the year when you file your taxes?

Try Ali - he's a great heifer bull & usually crosses well with angus cows.

Wouldn't that much barley be hard on his belly? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but isn't barley really acidic. Maybe he should have some other type of feed - I'd probably choose something with oats and corn.

My 11 year old killed a little buck with his rifle during the youth hunt here this weekend. He killed a doe with his bow last weekend. Now he's trophy hunting - he can kill one more buck this year and he says he's not shooting it unless it's big enought to mount.

Aplus - I know where there is a pretty nice blue roan heifer & steer at in OK. PM me if you are interested in the name. I have a soft spot for blue roans too!!

That is soo funny - somehow I can see this happening at my house.... Thanks for sharing - you can't imagine how bad I needed that laugh!!

Wrangler - unless you have no butt then you should wear Levi's. Waylon or Willie

neither but I do more laundry than dishes... Shorthorns or Angus??

We had a former show heifer calve for the first time last night in a huge thunderstorm. Heifer came first & was completely dry and trying to get up and nurse when I just happened to look up and see another set of feet. Both calves are healthy and pretty good sized. We assisted but wouldn't...

Another bit of advice... Stay away from the sales until you are real comfortable at this game - & yes it is a game. Find a reputable breeder or jockey and let them help you learn the game. I know a lot of these jockeys get a bad name, but many of them love the show cattle business and really...

From one mom to another I say cut your losses now and find a new calf. There is no amount of money worth getting your child hurt. We went through the same thing the first year we showed cattle - we cut our losses, got another heifer and my son is still healthy and loves showing. Even if your...

She was bred to a bull called Thunderstruck. Still trying to decide for sure what to breed her back to. Has to be something that is clean and is known for making nice females. We really wanted a heifer out of her but that's the way it goes!!! We did not run at the Pace shows this year -...

Thanks for all the compliments!!! I'm glad to hear that everyone likes her as much as we do. She delivered a bouncing baby bull calf last night!!! Right on time - today was her due date. He was up and bucking and jumping this morning!! She's out of Kool. Unfortunately because of his TH...

Killala, I like your Shorthorns!!! It's really cool to see what people in other countries are showing. I posted one of our now retired Shorthorn - take a look & tell me what you think!!! She looks much different now that she's a cow & not a show heifer but we still adore her just the same!!!

In light of the recent Shorthorn pics from Australia I thought I'd post one of our Shorthorn heifer. Ironically we call her Daisy also. As you can tell that is one proud 10 year old on the lead. In this pic Daisy had just won Supreme Champion heifer at a 100+ head jackpot. :D :D
