We had a 60 year Angus herd and switched to Herefords in 2000. I don't regret it at all. They are so much more docile than angus and perfect for a new showman. I would beinterested to know what Hereford's have a bad temperament Sim Angus. I don't know of any off hand. I've heard of a few Angus...

The fair starts tomorrow. I don't particularly enjoy it but the kids do. I think most counties have some quirky or weird thing that defines it. Our sheep show has the rule that everything gets sheared on the same day ( around the beginning of June) and you cannot touch them again ever or you...

Thanks Sim. The quality was verydeep. It gets better ever year and I love it and my herfs. We had a 60 year Angus herd and I'm glad we switched

No b&o was Friday and owned on Sunday. I have one better than that tho. Many years ago at the iowa state fair we showed an Angus that won its division in the feeder calf show one day and was last out of 19 the next day. I didn't find much humor in that!

In the B& O show he picked smaller cattle. The bigger ones got beat consistently. I thought we would be ok in the owned class, but he never looked at us.

It was really nice. We were in the sheep barn. I think it was cooler than the beef barn. The arena was air conditioned so that was good. The best western plus was a great hotel. Wash racks had plenty of room. Lots of electricity. We had 1100 head there and we didn't have any problems.

cow calf pair. first calf heifer by Moler, calf by an About Time son we raised. bull calf was reserve division son's bull by About Time. last in class :( got a squirt bottle for it though! About Time heifer won class in B&O class on Friday, was 8th in class on Sunday! We love her, I don't...

Been here all week. Hotter than h. Yesterday kicked my butt. Today we show cow calf, bull and big heifer. Fireworks were crazy and awesome here

71 head today at the show. nice weather and good quality cattle. We brought home four neat hide covered stools. They'll look great in our house. We're looking forward to Jr Nationals in grand island

She is not what club calf people are breeding for.

:lol2: you got that right. He's 6'4" and a buck twenty five.

thanks all. We are hoping to show the heifer next year at jr. natls and around Iowa. We ordered and 11 x 14 of the cow calf from the pros too. We have a "wall of fame" that'll go on, along with the premier banners.

It was a good day.

Congratulations on your big win!

Thanks JHH. I meant to comment on your herf steer when I saw it posted. I thought he reminded me of our steer that I pictured above, but yours had more butt :) . That herf heifer is out of a SD cow and our good old Mac bull (a Tank son). Now that he's gone I appreciate him even more. Great...

thanks for taking all the heat VCC. I've been busy at our county fair (showing our hairy cattle :roll: ) the past while. I get irritated by posters griping about the show cattle industry. If you don't like it, don't come to this topic. I don't like horses so I never read the horse section...

one more pic of the Heat Wave steer. He weighed 1390 and got second in class behind the eventually champion steer. Daughter learned a good life lesson on this one. He was the hairiest calf by far, and I think she thought she was going to win but he just didn't get the job done that day. these...

cow/calf pair won and the heifer calf was overall grand champ feeder calf. son's heifer daughter's purebred Maine heifer but showed as commercial, second in class daughter's heifer, she ended up reserve grand breeding heifer. son's steer, weighed 1305, second in class son's steer...
