I love this station, especially the cattle sales they have.  ;D I get it on channel 231 on Dish Network.

I play showcattle.com and I really enjoy it.  ;D It's a really fun game and it's educational.

It's a hereditable trait and can be DNA tested for. But other traits, it can be effected by environment too. 

Cute picture (really cute calf)!  ;) Our calves are the same way. They love the cats. One day when I was leading a heifer, I was going to line her up and there was a cat rubbing against her leg! That cat was lucky she didn't get kicked.  (lol)

In our commercial herd since we got our current composite bull: 2006: all heifers 2007: 1 bull and the rest were heifers 2008: 50:50 bulls to heifers (at the beginning of the year, most were heifers and at the end most were bulls) 2009: so far, all bulls That's an interesting pattern. At first...

Those are some colorful cattle! They look real good. I like beef x holstein cows. I have a holstein cow that I raise beef calves from but she's not as spotted as that one (she has white legs, belly, and tail with a white spot on her head). So far all her calves have been solid black and you...

We've found bones, rocks, and round up mice in feed bags before. My uncle found a whole dead rat in a bag of feed that wasn't even opened before that. Weird..  (lol)

We have beagles and a rat terrier. We have 3 little beagle puppies right now that just got their eyes open on Sunday. Our dogs are all black, red, and white but two of the pups turned out red and white. They're adorable. I haven't taken any pics yet or else I'd post them.  (dog) None of them...

Cute calves and nice looking heifers.  ;D I have a heifer that looks almost like the one in the bottom picture. I don't know too many angus bulls except for the ones that are bred for carcass traits that that's just because I have some friends that talk about those a lot.

Here's some of my pet peeves... -At fairs when you see kids that are like 16 years old and their parents are watering and cleaning up after their cattle for them ALL THE TIME. -How drunk people untie cattle at night at this one fair I go to and there are no police anywhere. -When people call...

Single trait selection is the fastest way to make genetic progress. The problem is when you breed for only one thing, you lose other things. A lot of different breeds look about the same. But a lot of animals of the same breed look completely different. It's kind of amusing, especially in...

He's a cutie. He should make an awesome show steer! He looks grey on my computer screen. Isn't that color caused by the diluter gene?

Nobody around here that I know about raises maine anjous or mainetainers but if they did they'd show in the AOB class. Most shows around here have classes for angus, hereford, charolais, simmental, AOB, and commerical. At one show I go to, they make a new class if there are more than 5 head of...

A friend of ours had a bucket calf at a show once and everyone loved it. I bet every little kid who walked through the barn had their picture taken with the calf. Anyway, once this young couple with a baby in a baby stroller was walking through and the girl yelled, "Look at that baby cow!" and...

Some people just don't get that angus aren't the only black cattle in the world. Sometimes when they see my signs, they'll comment that they thought those would have been angus cattle so I explain to them that they're black simmentals. Except one year, there was this guy who just couldn't...

I have a FinePix S700 FujiFilm 7.1 megapixel camera with 10x zoom and I love it. IMO, it takes better pictures than most 10.0 megapixel cameras (except for the real facy ones, of course).  I got it back in October of 2007 so it's kind of old but I really like it. I think it was about $200.

I'm right and left handed. I mostly write with my right hand thought because I'm a little better at that. The first heifer I ever owned myself turned out to be sterile but I liked her so well I kept her anyway. I still have her and since I got rid of my horse, I call her my "horse"  :D She's a...

I never got to play a Wii. My uncle and his family have one and they seem to really enjoy it. They actually stood in line for 24 hours to get one the first day they came out (so they better like it!). They let some of the relatives play it before and they seemed to like it, even the ones that...

Our dogs are named Emily, Buddy, Miroku, and Lucy. Not all of our cats have names.. but all the cows do!  :D I'm not going to list all their names! The pair of simmental heifers I showed in 2007 were named Paris and Nicky.  ;) My friend called them "Paris and Nicky: Two Spoiled Heifers" rofl...

I joined one of the steerplanet groups and requested to join the other. :D I might try to add some of you that posted your names as friends later, if you don't mind. I'll write down that my username here is Rocky Hill. Thanks.
