Thanks for the input! After I posted the pictures I talked to my vet about the rubbing and we did a pour to help clean that up. I notice that in the pictures too, she's kinda standing in that "I'm about to pull any second now" stance, I haven't noticed it in person, but I'll give her a really...

Hey everyone! I haven't been on here in like, forever, but i thought i'd stop by and have you take a look at my heifer. Its my last year showing 4-H, and its time to wrap up my show career, which is really bitter sweet to me. After this summer of showing, i plan on moving far far away and just...

thanks again for all the comments. It's nice to hear what everyone has to say about her. She shows as a registered Simmental up here.

The other 1/4 is Angus. I think she walks well enough. I haven't found anything that i don't like about her walk, and I haven't had any bad comments about it, but I don't think its stunning either. I agree, she needs to be deeper. She has dropped down a bit since then, but I would still like to...

This is my show heifer for summer '09. She is a Feb 3/4 sim heifer by GLS Frontier N13. The picture was taken back in october. What do you think of her?

You picked them up at the Grindstone Creek Genetics sale, right? Niceee heifers. I had the baldie picked out of the catalog as my favorite. (if i have my mind right, and you if got them from that sale.) Anywho, Nice heifers. Wouldn't mind either of them eating my feed. Keep us updated on how...

I dont have one to sell you, but I know that sullivan supply always has a couple used blowers at their trailer at shows. I'd check there if you cant find one.

Oh, texting is by addiction. My TERRIBLE addiction. My inbox holds 500 texts. I have to empty it every other day at least....its bad. really bad. (and thats with 4-6 hours off a day for work, I cant have my cell on at work)

I really like her! I really wanna know how she does against 'normal sized' cattle. I wouldn't mind being at the other end of the halter, that's for sure.

I just have a question, isn't this the same?? Both show that if she acts out, she will get hurt (be it by nose ring, or by showstick) Neither feel good to her. And (at least here) a showstick is something that you use in the showring, and you cannot use a nose lead, so what then? And again, I...

I agree with Show steer. I have always tapped my animals on the nose if they were getting a little to feisty in the show ring, and yes, I have smacked a good few with the end of the halter to make them listen a bit ( I just dont do this in the showring) In fact, the judge at county fair this...

Show steer- The blueing (in combination with the whitening shampoo and lots of washing) seems to be doing the trick. We have a little show this weekend, hopefully i can talk my dad into using the camera enough to get a good picture. I've talked to some other kids, and I know of another white...

That neighborhood is something...city cows. Do you know if the neighbors ever complain about the smell? Or mooing? -what about at weaning?? Anyway, looks like the calves will taste very good!

AAOK, I would have really liked to see that! So I tried... I get out there, halter, walk to the edge of the barn (his nose to the wall) drop the halter, walked to the back and grabbed his tail. Pulled. He shook his butt. I pulled again, He moo'd. I pulled again, he spun around and looked at me...

Thanks, I went to mrsstewart.com and found a list of stores that carry it. I found one here in town (a grocery store- the one place I never woulda checked) I'll buy some today and give it a shot.

The liquid bluing- where do you find it? I looked for the blue-o in the laundry isle, and they don't have it (checked at 3 stores..)

Yes, some parents do all the work. Yes, some parents spend high dollars for a show steer. Yes, it happens. But just because it happens doesn't mean that there aren't kids out there you spend hours a day walking that fluffy steer, bathing that fluffy steer. Some kids earn it. They do their...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm a little afraid of the oxy clean. But I found some blue Dawn dish soap with bleach- I switch it out every-other washing with my whitening shampoo. It seems to be working well. I went to a FFA kinder-garden farm day (not a show, just a petting zoo for all the...

I swear that I saw a post a while back on it, but I searched and couldnt find it. I've heard of using vinegar, tide, dawn (dish liquid), and straight bleach (yikes!) -I haven't tried any of these yet, but if someone tells me that it works, I wanna give it a try. I have a white steer that just...

Most of the buyers just show up. We like to invite a few anyway. Last year...I was bid on by our bank, our feed 'guys', and the place that I bought my car. I wear normal show clothes. I say thanks in person as soon as possible after the purchase. Our county takes pictures (horrible, horrible...
