California, our county fair draws over 1.5 million visitors, It is held at the race track in Del Mar, the weather is very pleasant for July and our state fair north pf 1 million visitors each year. I will tell you I almost think the kids did better selling their animals this year than the...

Our county fair, state fair, as well as a host of other county fairs have been cancelled in our state. I believe any fair from now until the end of July has been cancelled thus far, maybe even some August fairs. The 2 heifer projects we sponsored this year have not been able to show since...

Balanced, moves like a cat, may not be perfect but has no holes, a little chrome on the head, big hairy ears that are always up and forward, with that cocky look at me attitude. The kind that when their a calf you are instantly drawn to them and then spend an hour or more trying to pick them...

Knabe, they talked about that in our county as well, "to even the playing field" make it fair for all the kids. Only thing was it would not change the out come of the fair, the kids who purchased good haired steers and put in the work on them, would buy good slick sheared cattle and put in the...

As far as the show equipment I always just sold it for half of what it was priced at new, it was all taken care of but had some hours/use on it. The trailer first check the tires, look for the mfg date, how old are they, they may look fine but if their over 8 years you will definitely have to...

Cool look to him with just the right amount of “here I am, look at me” in his attitude. One would hope that whoever purchased this steer had bigger dreams than winning their county fair. If he stays together he would be a fun one to pull around. I would guess the price depends on their goals...

So you have a July show? I would up the grain a little, he is getting less than 2% of his body weight a day of grain, he will slow down as he finishes and the heat of summer will some times slow then down as well. The best thing to do is cruise in right on schedule, if that does not happen I...

Try a different feed, early in the game so switching feed on him now will not be a big deal. I had a calf that we tried several feeds on, he would not eat any, i mixed them all together just to get rid of them, he ate it like he was starving. One was more of a dry mix the other was wet...

They make these things called wireless speakers, I won a Milwaukee job site speaker at the company picnic, can hook the I pad to it or wireless from the phone works great. Klein Tools has one that is about the size of a tape measure but the sound that comes out of it is pretty good...

Here is a ration that one of the long time posters (AAOK)on this site had posted, many on this site have tried it and really like it, you may want to try something like it. Go to the search function at the top of the page and do a search on AAOK feed ration for more info. AAOK feed ration 1200...

I have run into a similar problem in the past, what may have changed besides the weather? Not that you changed feed put did you purchased feed about the time things changed, we have gotten bad lots, poorly mixed, to wet, to dry, bad fat in the mix. If he has not experienced, illness, a change in...

MSM Methylsulfonylmethane, just curios do you know of someone who had good results using it, something you want to try?

Add Stabilized rice bran to his feed, Start with 1/4 pound a feeding and slowly increase it up to a pound. Up it every few days until you hit 1 pound a feeding, It will add fat to his diet and give him a smooth layer of cover.

I don't know about that, we never had a problem and it might have been right on them. You blow the hair forward so never really blew at a 90% more like a 45% or less.

What part of the country are you in? Mother nature will be telling him it is winter and time to grow hair pretty soon, Rinse brush and comb, should be all you need to get hair.

To many harsh products maybe, might not be getting everything out. Legs and tail head pulled and clipped every week hair just getting shorter

Denver: all calves must be born on or after January 1st, they show January 25th of the following year. Western Bonanza is done by weight, prospect, progress, market, if I remember right 800 or less was prospect.

Some simple things, first off I agree feed them the same time every day, routine is key for cattle, the better you stick to a routine the more relaxed they will be, if you deviate from your routine some calves will stress. Do not change feed if you can help it, get them on a good ration and keep...

So if I understand your post you took possession of her in April, she weighed 320 and was 7 months old? So in the past 5 months she has more than doubled her weight, if she is in fact a yearling now, she either got a terrible start or her age is incorrect. She does not look like a yearling in...
