    Angus heifers?

    Vintage Angus Ranch is in Modesto, CA. They are not bred to show but they have lots of cows and customers. You may be able to find a unicorn. Schnoor Sisters in Chowchilla, CA are exclusive angus now I think. They showed some awesome angus heifers.

    A stupid question

    I think it is just what is comfortable for you, not a technique.  I used to hold the scotch comb between my legs and put one finger of that hand on the side of the head to steady it. That just became a habit and was kind of unconscious.

    "Hype Man" for a sale.

    Do you think a hype man helps your sale?  This sale season I just found them more annoying than helpful.  Especially with the live online sales.  When they were making their pitch I found myself thinking "are we looking at the same animal?"  It also seems to slow down the momentum of the sale...

    slick shows

    Fitting is the great equalizer.  The divide between the people that work on their cattle every day and the people that don't is way more obvious at a no fit show.  I don't know how much money Sullivan's, Weavers, Andis and Lister give to support livestock shows. What would be the incentive for...

    Expanding View on The Pulse?

    Does anybody know how to eliminate the ads or expand the view on The Pulse?  They have added so much advertising around the photos that I can't get a full view of any of the pictures as I scroll through them.

    Dumb question....I apologize ahead of time...

    I will give this a shot.  Others may have a different opinion.  Having a steer "softer" refers to a longer smoother muscle pattern, bigger belly, deeper flank and rib cage.  It can also refer to a "harder" performing steer. One that is not easy fleshing and naturally fat.  ie. This one is...

    I really don't need the abuse but I am going to do it anyway

    Doesn't line breeding accentuate the bad qualities.  It turns a recessive trait into a dominate trait and most defects are recessive because they destroy a population when they are expressed.  Just wondering, I also don't need the abuse.
