But do the clippers you have overheat?? Even though you have dropped the lIster stars, do they still get the job done?? DO they overheat?

Thank You for your help. Now the problem I have with clippers is they overheat, and then you have to let them cool, and by the time you are done clipping the lamb hates you and the stantion, and wants nothing to do with the clippers when you try and clip again becasue they are so hot. Do these...

Ok I know this is for cattle, but I have a friend who some show sheep, and needs to know what the best kind of Sheep Shearers to purchase, and from where. She has heard that the Yellow Handle Oster Clippers are the best, but she doesnt want to pay money on them to take a crap a couple days...

Ive had three steers like yours. I am female, 5'6' and 159lbs, and they can pull me around like a puppy dog. But when they first began to duck their heads, i corrected them either by, giving them the boot to chin, pinching the nose or my favorite they got the heavy duty chained halter. Works...

How would you go about clipping a 5 month old Holstein Heifer for show? Thanks

How would you go about clipping a 5 month old Holstein Heifer for show? Thanks

Whatever you do dont put them back in the same corral!! I bought two ranch steers last year. Both wilder than snot, when they got home. While they were being weighed, we put the halters on, I nearly broke my arm at the elbow, but we got the halters on. When i finally got them home, i backed the...

Its truely up to you, but I have a kid at my fair that is the same way. Parents pick out the calf, parents work the calf, feed the calf, raise the calf, the kid walks into the show rings, places supreme then walks out. It pisses me off to no end. Parents buying $2000 steers and then doing...

I use Seven dust.

Thank you for your help. Yes that was me, and a friends calf. My 1300 lbs steer had already been loaded up and gone. My friend was out getting lunch so i decided to play with her calf.

For dividers we use straw. or we get creative like this.... If you look behind me and the calf you will notice we used straw on the sides and in the back we put together small stands, describing the calves and decoration than used rope to connect the stands. Or if you look on sullivans they...

Yes, it is two or three types a hay baled into one. Depending on where you live is depending on what is baled.

Ok the last three steers Ive left on Bermuda hay. I ve been doing research and noticed that a few people feed more 2-way or 3-way and very little feed. Which is better? Can I save money by feeding more 2 way or 3 way? and spending less on grain? 1. Bermuda hay and alot of grain 2. 2-way and a...

Thank you all. But is 3-way hay better for the steer than Bermuda?

Ok I have raised three show steers. The first was raised on Showmaster and Bermuda Hay. The steer ate a bag a showmaster every two days and two flacks a day. His meat turned out fatty. The other two were raised on Bermuda and 4way grain. Their meat turned out better than the first. I was...

Thank You for claring all that up!!!

Thank You for all your help!!!! Whats Pied???

Thank You, for all the information! I have been calling local breeders, and they have said the same things. So, I think I will be getting a shorhorn steer for my 4h project this year!! I've always raised Angus, Angus X, and a Maine Anjou X steers before and its time for a colored steer!!!

I love the baldy!!! One quick question though, why are heifers and cows presented with their left foot slightly forward, while in Market Beef the steers are completely square? Thanks.

Ok, I haven't been able to find reliable information on the following question, and few to many people I ask give me varing answers. So to you who raise shorthorn steers for show, or for butchering: Are shorthorn steers hard to finish? What I mean by that, do they gather fat in the right places...
