    New Heifer

    HEY, BE NICE! :mad: And I like Limi cattle thank you very much! We have a few here and they wean our largest calves, and I don't mean 300lb calves, try eight, no feed! Personally, I don't think this heifer will make it in the show ring but, you never know, get her on some feed and she might...

    Steer- Opinions?

    Angus X Limousine April 13th This is a steer we raised, I'm guessing he's about 650lb right now maybe closer to seven. Tell me what you think!

    Young mama

    I think they start cycling as early as four months and as late as nine. However, I'm not "sure":?: We usually leave our calves out with the bull until weaning, about 7-8months. We've only had that happen once in 15yrs. I do know down at the sales barn they have a few almost every sale, (in the...

    Young mama

    We had one heifer get bred at 4 months, it sure surprised us to find a calf in our replacement pen... At the sales barns around here, buyers won't even look at a heifer calf unless she's been preg chelked open. I guess they had too many drop calves in the feedlot. :roll:

    this is my son's first of two steer

    He's much better than the black one! I'd like some more depth on him but other than that he looks pretty good. Finished well I think you'll be happy with the outcome. Good Luck! ;-)

    Pics of a few show Prospects (Opinions Please)

    First, I'm not an Angus person, (100% Hereford). I know a bit about Angus because my dad runs an Angus heard so I'll give you my opinion, take what you want leave the rest. ;-) #1 This heifer has a good amount of eye appeal. She appears straight and correct. Her top-line is very nice, she’s...

    Book

    Does anyone know of a book on feeding and back grounding cattle? Something like Feeds And Feeding by Morrison but more up-to-date.

    Showmanship question-

    Ok, thanks!

    Showmanship question-

    Yeah another question- How should I fit for Showmanship? I’ve had a few people tell me, "Leave the legs alone, just comb them and spray a little sheen in the hair." They said if you polish the calf up, (like showing in a breeding class) it distracts the judge. Now in horses the judge looks at...

    Showmanship question-

    Ok, so what if the judge walks around to the showman's side, should I change the profile? Or do I always keep it like the picture no matter where the judge is?

    Showmanship question-

    Maybe I should have been clearer. Ok I’m set on profile in a head-to-tail line up, (not side-by-side). We’re set on “profile” like a professional photographer was taking our picture. The judge is on the “show” side, (cow’s right), he/she walks behind each calf to look down it’s back. When the...

    some advice for my son's next steer

    This guy needs a longer neck and smaller head. He's awful thick in the shoulders. I think he could use a bit more length for his depth. From the pictures, it looks like he's stiff, as in movement. His rear legs could be straighter. You know a thick hair coat would cover up a lot of his faults. :lol:

    Showmanship question-

    When the judge walks behind my calf when we’re set on profile should I square the rear feet? When setting up on profile you set the rear leg closest to the judge back and the front slightly forward, correct? If he/she walks around the calf should the legs be switched?

    Dewormer?

    Ok, sounds good. Do I use the same dosage on my cow as I do on my horse?
