    Show Prospects

    Keren, I wish I lived in Australia sometimes, I bet I could help out some. I've shown a time or two ;-) I'm afraid it's a whole different ball game in the hair/fitting/clipping deal over there though. I'm used to clipping a calf for over ten hours and then gluing them to the 9's, with building...

    Murray Greys to critique

    Leave it to a Spry's female to win....their Stars and Stripes bull has made a pretty good impact here in the States. What's the difference between Australian Shorthorn, Beef Shorthorn, and Shorthorn? We only have Beef and Dairy varieties here.. Again, nice set, would LOVE to see a few MG...

    I like all of the heifers, but as I was scrolling down, and before I knew which heifer won, I had her picked. That Rosita heifer is flat good as far as I can see in the pictures. Very nice lines, good amount of bone for a heifer, really deep, and is just really cool looking. I would take her...

    Give me some opinions of this heifer.....

    I definitely don't mind seeing some more thickness in a bull's neck, it's part of him being masculine. I guess it's just a matter of preference, but I prefer a more feminine fronted female, but hey, whatever works for you..I don't know that I could make money at this if I were raising...

    Give me some opinions of this heifer.....

    TN and Knersie- I agree that she could be a little deeper, but she was just weaned two weeks ago, and hasn't beed fed much. Her momma was a first calf heifer too. Not an excuse, just an explanation. TN- I have seen that you like ALL animals thick through the neck....thickness in the neck...

    Smokey Heifer

    Thanks for all the replies everyone, and yeah her biggest fault is her slope from hooks to pins, but she is growing more hair every day, and I hope it won't be too noticeable by the time I show her. I don't have trouble growing hair, even in the summer. I actually think I'm going to show her...

    Smokey Heifer

    This year is the first year for a Lowline show at the NAILE. She's registered % Lowline. CPL- She's actually out of a bull called General Sherman that TJ Stenger owned. She does slope just a touch, but she's full Aussie blood on her sire's side (any Aussie will tell you that some slope will...

    Smokey Heifer

    LOL, nah she wasn't AI'd, but her sire is an AI sire. Not all Lowline bulls in the US are like the original imports from Australia. Her sire is pretty small, even for a Lowline, at 44 inches, and her momma isn't a HUGE cow, but she's not small either. She's my first Lowline, and she's a bit...

    Smokey Heifer

    This is a heifer that I am going to show at the American Royal and NAILE this fall. She is a 1/2 Lowline out of a Comm. Char. cow. She's a September 27th. Let me know if she's worth taking out....

    high priced funnel butt

    Doc, please make note that BOTH animals pictured are bulls. The first one is the funnel butt, the second one is a more acceptable bull calf at the same age (as I know you are well aware). Just wanted to give you the heads up! Respectfully , SJ89

    Take a Whack at my Shorthorn heifer.

    Oh, I understand why you're pointing out her faults...I precisely asked you to. I really don't take offense, as long as I can see where you're coming from, for future reference ;-) I like this calf alot more too, and I will be showing her a whole lot unless someone comes along and offers me...

    Take a Whack at my Shorthorn heifer.

    Farmwife-thanks for letting me know what you think of her. She's consigned to a sale in Macomb, Illinois to take place the first weekend in March. The auction is sponsored by the IL Shorthorn Assn. I don't think we'll show her, but I think she could be a good show heifer for someone else...

    Favorite Pistol

    Probably a Ruger single six with the CCI .22 shorts that are dang near silent. I used to get alot of wild dogs with those. They would get a really weird look on their face when their buddy fell down right next to them "for no reason" lol.

    Coyotes

    We go out in full camo, at one of three times. Early morning, set up like kinda like you would if you were turkey hunting, only you bring a .223 and .243 instead of the ol Mathews or shotgun. You can go out about an hour before dark and set up, but bring a spotlight. Then, you can go out at...

    Wolf Attack

    Wow..that is crazy. We even have a few wolves here, in IL, I didn't believe it until I saw one the week before Christmas. Next time I go out to the woods, the .223 is coming with me. Should I take the .243? The .223 turns coyotes inside-out if I use the hot loaded hollow points.

    Another new experience - non-dilating cervix? advice?

    We have had once case of what you are describing. We re bred the cow, and her next calf came as easy as anything, in fact, there is a picture of the calf on the Show Board, it's one of the newer posts. I would give the cow another shot if she's one of the better ones. If she was on the short...

    Take a Whack at my Shorthorn heifer.

    hey thanks for letting me know exactly what you liked and didnt like. I agree that she could have a better front all around, she's even a bit twisted off the front legs. I really hate making excuses for my heifers, but this one really doesn't have a high tailhead at all, she just wouldn't put...

    Take a Whack at my Shorthorn heifer.

    Alright guys, it's time for another calf to be rendered useless again lol I'm just kidding...I really do want your opinion of this heifer. She is an April 07 out of a Goldmine 2109 bull that we raised, and out of a Kool x Warhorse cow. We know that she's not the best show heifer to ever walk...

    Shorthorn herd sire - Gal Chaser

    I think I was a bit harsh...cows got out this morning..we had a couple switches go out on fans in the show barn..and to top it all off, my dreaded FFA Advisor came over this morning...not to mention the heat...I apologize for being so forward. Allow me to rephrase what I said. The bull does...
