    cooling room?

    One comment on a fallacy, eliminating hair does quite the opposite of making the show about something other than daddy's bankroll. I prefer slick shear shows every day of the week and twice on Sunday but if anything it makes it more expensive, not less, to win. You can't work a slick shear...

    Show Politics

    Politics are an easy excuse for not winning. I run an online cattle game that simulates the show cattle world. About once a month we get a complaint from somebody that we only pick the cattle from certain ranches for winners and that we're playing politics. They are certain that their animal...

    Show Politics

    So wait a second, you are upset with the “incompetence” and “ignorance” of buyers but you are willing to take advantage of it by deceiving them as long as it helps you?

    Show Politics

    Incompetence and ignorance? JDH and V8 genetics have been proven over decades. There is value in that.

    Show Politics

    You can just include the fact that the brands he was talking about are V8 and JDH, anybody who knows American Brahmans knows that already. They're both great operations with outstanding cattlemen running them. Other ranches will win some of the big shows if they have the cattle but nobody is...

    Meyer 734 sons???

    I realize why he said it, it's the same reason everybody with a bull that has Meyer somewhere in the pedigree says it. The comparison has become a cliche and I tend to tune out every time it's mentioned. You can't declare Meyer's replacement by looking at the bull (Meyer was an average looking...

    Question concerning "composites" in the show ring

    Maines can be 3/4 and still show and purebreds, Simmis require 7/8 in heifers. If you want to post her papers, just post her registration number and we can find all the info on the ASA website.

    Question concerning "composites" in the show ring

    Can you post the exact wording of the rule book? Virtually all crossbred heifers are going to end up in an AOB class unless there is a special class for them like Maintainer, Appendix Shorthorn, SimAngus, etc. There are a lot of big shows (I would almost say most majors in the South) where...

    Raising club calves

    If you don't absolutely love checking heats, AIing, halter breaking calves, fitting, and promoting your cattle; it's a waste of time and a lot of money.

    TJLA Site

    Speaking of the hotel lists, if you book through one of those links, the TJLA will get a small commission. The goal for tomorrow is to setup the profiles and show information pages. It will allow members to say a bit about themselves and the show sponsors will be able to add details for their...

    Belgian Blues and Shorthorns

    While a hybrid won't have as many issues as a straight BB, almost all of the fullbloods are calved via C-section. Think about that for a second, the worst case calving ease scneario for a club calf is actually the norm for Belgians.

    Selling Sex....er....Bull Semen at Denver

    Angus/Brangus, your attitude isn't what I was talking about. I was talking about the guy who is trying to claim every woman who fixes herself up is a prostitute. When you turn your back on this kind of stuff or try to justify it, all it does it make somebody try to figure out a way out do them...

    Selling Sex....er....Bull Semen at Denver

    I'm a 27 year old guy. BTW, your "think about what you are selling" applies to prostitutes, not women. However, that kind of knuckle dragging attitude makes it easier to understand why you have no problem with those displays. You are continuing to try to justify showing soft core porn to sell...

    Selling Sex....er....Bull Semen at Denver

    Ummm, I looked at 54 different bulls and 52 of them didn't feel the need to put up scantily clad women to get my attention. I heard numerous people talking about bulls like Total Solution, Wave Burner, Great White, and Monopoly. Those bulls got attention because they were good bulls. You get...
