    New to the Show Calf Business

    Even though there are several DVMs that are successful selling show cattle, I would skip that for now.  If you want to get a good side hustle going.  Start a mobile AI service and heat sync program. Or start putting in some embryos on the farm for people.  It looks like you will get your DVM in...

    Where to buy show steers this fall?

    He sells private treaty.  Give him a call in July or August and you can set up a time to look at them.  The traders will put a deposit on a calf early but may not pick them up.  Cattle change a lot from summer to weaning.  I would give him a call now and tell him you are looking for a steer this...

    Where to buy show steers this fall?

    Tyrone Hullinger, Harris MO.  Not sure what he has now but many years ago the road to his place was always hot with "steer trader" traffic.

    Electronic Heat Detection Systems

    Call Al Bruhn in Iowa.  I don't know what their AI Synchronization program is but they sell 600-800 bred cows and heifers in their sale.  All AI bred.  https://www.bruhncattle.com/contact-us

    Theft

    Freeze Brand.  Easy to do and a big deterrent to the pro cattle thieves. Also, neighbors won't just put them in theirs if they get out with no ear tags.  We had a neighbor at a summer pasture that never fixed a fence and never put in an ear tag.  When they got in with ours he would come over and...

    Ringworm Around Heifers Eye

    W/C Loaded Up 1119Y Sons?

    Mark Mueller (Diamond M Cattle in KS) has a full sib named DMCC Capone that he is really high on.  The calves I saw seem a little softer and easier doing than the Loaded Up calves. https://issuu.com/stockoptionsmarketing/docs/dmcc_18 I think he still owns the Black Blaze III cow.

    breaking donkey?

    How do you train a donkey to be a Breaking Donkey? I see lots of threads on breaking donkeys and saying "be sure that they are experienced".  We have a local auction that hobby farmers sell donkeys at all the time but they have never been hooked to cattle.

    Opinions on Simmental Bull

    Heck, why not.  Get his feet trimmed and continue to show him.  You will find out pretty quick if you made the right choice and will still have some fun in the mean time. (looks like time for fresh bedding in the trailer)

    looking for Ralgro

    When I sold Implus implants it always amazed me how people were only interested in the "gun".  Every question that I got was about the gun. Never about the science behind the implants or their effectiveness. I get it that if you are implanting 200 head a day it is important for the gun to be...
