Wow....you had to do some searching to find that thread. And on your first post no less.  I call that passion, Welcome to SteerPlanet.

Where is the best beer garden or place to relax while walking around at the Iowa State Fair?  More mello than "whoop it up".  We won't be there that late on Saturday.

Here is an excerpt from an older article in Drovers: Johnson said several cattle breeds in Japan, Korea and China are bred to have very high marbling content. To compare, USDA choice beef usually is about 6 percent intramuscular fat, where Japanese Wagyu cattle produce about 30-35 percent...

Be mindful of your pricing.  If a guy doesn't think he can make a $1000 on one he probably won't even come look.  That may not even be enough margin today.  Once you haul one home, feed him and work on him for 3 weeks there isn't much left. Especially if you figure in risk.  Call the guys who...

Don't forget to have a scribe ready to break off the top of the amp and also thaw in ice water.  We finally used our last Cunia amps a couple years ago. 

I always try to get a picture with a person next to the calf.  That will give you some idea of scale and proportion. I have bought some midgets and some monsters from photos that looked great but when compared to their contemporaries they didn't measure up.  If you can, have a friend that lives...
