In before daylight out after dark, and temp drops below 80% is what my buddies kids did. They had a wash rack in the cool room as well. Only time the lights were on is when they were working on them. Grew hair like a yak, but that was from working the hair 2 to 3 times a day. They rinsed in the...

I would breed her calving ease Angus this year, then look for a Sim next year. I bred my heifer to Primo this year but she is a 2 year old. Live calf the first year, is always my goal.

After looking at the sale pages I have to think my stepdad would be rolling over in his grave if he saw all those leaning fences in the background ;). He was stickler for a straight fence. Probably not like how some of the houses and barns in the background were built to the slope either, food...

CAB, once the gilts started coming into heat, the fights really started, we would put a dab of vick's on the nose of mostly the gilts, if it were real bad all the pigs in our club got it prior to going to the ring. It cut the fights way down once they could not smell all the pheromones in the...

The show box for the hogs always had, Quaker Oats, probios, Vick's Vapor rub and Refresh in it. Oats for the runs, probios for their guts, Vick's for when the gilts start coming in heat and they all seem to at fair time, and the refresh to keep them hydrated on show day.

This is one we kept from my Ali cow, out of a Dr. Who son. She is bred to Primo.

I inherited a cow, her owner joined the Army and gave her to me to take care of. Well i thought I'd show her development from calf to cow. The first picture is when she was delivered to her owner, second her first show, the picture of her at the feeder is when I picked her up, she had just...

Never fed a show bull but from all I've read you pretty much feed them the same way you would feed a steer or heifer calf at this time, get them started and work them up to 2-3 percent of their weight a day. I did a search on here and AAOK, feed all his calves bulls, heifers, and steers the...

Melatonin might help, try and find the dose at home that makes her mellow and then start a few days prior to the show and keep her on it until you get home, if she acts up at the show add a little more.

Do you use a rope halter at home and a show halter on the road? Try working at home with the show halter and I assume the chain has been vet wrapped? If not try that or a lead without a chain. Also work on getting her to set up with out the show stick, walk her into it instead, along with that...

Just my opinion off of one photo: I would like to see a little more muscle and bone on her, she appears to be a little tight in the heart girth as well, not sure about the way her neck and shoulder meet, that could just be the hair. I think her legs and feet look correct and she may grow into a...

I'll bite, I googled it, any where from 8 weeks / 2 pounds to 4 months 4 pounds, most said as early as 8 weeks, if you wait past 6 months you'll be dealing with more kittens.

Primo, the Guyer and Nawatzke heifers are out of a Style cow. Colburns had quite a few Style Heifers in their heifer sale last fall , they have a sister pair that are in their doner pen, one of them is the dam of the Primo and 2 heifers. There are some good ones out there. This is a picture of a...

Do you feed him twice a day or only once  a day, if twice a day is it the same time each day? We feed twice a day, 6 a.m. and 5p.m. 6 and 6 is the best but 6-5 works for us, calves are at the gate and waiting to be fed, by feeding twice a day at the same time each day they get into a routine...

What can I say

Removed, I was not thinking others and what it may trigger in their feelings

The first steer that my son raised, started bloating at about 900 pounds, The first time he bloated we had to tube him and hit him with a mineral oil drench, after that it was an occasional bloat that needed treatment, with minor bloating every time he ate. We started feeding him a half flake of...

I Agree with X-bar unless it going to cost me more to haul them around, no since throwing good money after bad. Is there a particular family in your area that do well at shows, that put in the time and sweat, and get results. The boy I helped out for a couple of years started giving me...

Well if you bought the heifers call them and tell them you're picking them up to take to the sale, if they don't have the time to put in the work you might as well sell them while they still have value, see how they react. Sometimes even the best kids need a little kick in the rear to get going...

That heifer and the div III winner are both full sibs to Colburn Primo, not a bad day. Both heifers have done very well for their owners this year.
