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

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.

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...

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!!!

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.

One more thing, when you are walking your calf around the arena, never bunch the lead in your hand into lopes or anything, and NEVER under and circumstance rope the lead around your hand. A BIG BIG NO NO! Hold the lead with one hand, hold just above where the chain meets the leather. If lead is...

I do tie mine up, 30 mins to an hour every other day. I would spend more time tieing them up but I am 17 and have college classes to attend. Walking them is easier for me and less time consuming. And no I can not let my parents walk them when I am training. Once the steers are trined I allowed...

Ok, I raise market steers as well but how is it you can take a heifer of the pasture and work her a couple weeks then give her to a younger sibling about 9 or so years old and the heifer is just fine? How do you train them? I walk mine twice a day for 20-30 mins, I'm down there 3-4 times a day...

My two steers from this past year were hilarious. My bigger one would lift me off my feet, and let me sit on his back while he just stood there. My smaller angus would lick me to death, I wouldnt be paying attention then all of a sudden his licking my legs, arms, my head when he could get to...

It depends on the show, if it is a fair or jackpot. The fairs are different as well. It also depends on your own scheldule on the ranch. What you do, and how you do it. Not everyone is the same. :wave:

I wish I had that time, being in college saps all my time to work with my steers. I always manage to find some for them though, who cares if an essay is due, i would rather wash my steers! :banana:

he is walked 10-15 mins, loaded up on the trailer, to get him used to it, and he also runs around in his pin 3-4 times a day with his brother.
