That seems to be the way with ours too.  They look okay when they are born, but through this point they just keep getting gradually better.  They might not be those square, chunky blocks when they are born, but they come a little easier and seem to grow on you each trip out to the pasture.  It's...

This one was our first Carpe Diem experience.  So far seems to be a pretty good all around calf, good disposition is a plus.  No holes, doesn't blow you away.  I certainly think they're very sellable.  At least for northern county fairs I'd place my money he'll class herf.  For a 'herf' he's a...

Just keep an eye on her and, if you're sure she stuck on that AI date, I wouldn't let her go over much, if at all. Our CD's have come pretty easy and look pretty respectable.

I don't know of any (I'm sure there might be some, but I don't know of them, anyway) self-respecting commercially viable cattlemen who buy their replacements straight out of the sale barn.  If they do, they have a lot of problems coming their way, TH or PHA is the least of their worries. I'm...

This is 'Steerplanet'. When it comes time to buy steers in the fall, do the buyers look at the TH/PHA status of the steer or the quality of the calf?  There's the answer.  You can speak of commercial this, clubby-that, until we are blue in the face.  More often than not TH begets more bone and...

I believe it was $750,000 in the last year before the article, not lifetime.  So the bull sold 25,000 units in ONE YEAR.  So multiply that times 8, and he may have sold 200,000 units of semen theoretically.  I don't have a horse in the race, but if he averaged around $750,000 a year times that...

If one 8 oz.  Akaushi steak sells for $80, what is the whole animal worth on the hoof?  http://heartbrandbeef.com/Heartbrand_Akaushi_Tenderloin_Filet-shop_filet I'd be scared to cook something like that for fear of screwing it up.

As the saying goes, any attention is good attention.  When she won, people still had to say "Shorthorn" when they say shorthorn plus, something they would not say with any other breed.  Shorthorn genetics can have a valuable place in the commercial industry right now, shorthorn colors do not. ...

Your answer lies in your question.  You were using a wether, to the best of my knowledge it needs to be a mature billy goat.  I have absolutely no idea how it works, but since we've had goats on the place, we have not had a drop of ring worm. (Knock on wood)  I remember in previous discussions...

Regardless of his frame size, you need to get home going pretty hard pretty quick.  It's easier to get him up to weight and hold him the last two weeks if you need to than it is to try to pour it on in the heat of the summer.  Worm, get him going hard, and let him eat. If he is smaller framed...

This debate isn't really winnable because it is a chicken and the egg debate.  Do you make cattle to fit the shows or shows to fit the cattle?  Each are their own separate beast, but they work in unison.  1.  As long as Heat Wave type stuff is what is being used in the ring, do you really...

Since he asked a question and didn't ask for moral judgments, maybe people could help him and not judge?  There's only one person who really judges us when it matters anyway.  For the answer, you can have good luck using it nasally.  It works quickly and seems to take a smaller dose. ...

I like to hold with 1/3 beet pulp, 1/3 wheat bran and 1/3 of your feed, you can adjust the overall amount with the amount of gain that you are trying to achieve.  This, along with some choice supplements can basically stall a steer for a couple months while keep them as fresh as possible in our...

I got a new bow a couple of years ago.  Go on Ebay when the new year models (2011) come out (they may have already?) and you'll be able to find dealers dumping their 2010 models for great prices.  I got a brand new top of the line Bear bow in the box a couple of years ago for $250.  It has been...

As the quote says, we're talking about "show calves."  You think that distillers is a top of the line show feed?  And it is "second hand" as it is the part that someone else couldn't use.  Do they have their place in agriculture, sure.  Are they going to get the most out of your calves that...

Do they hold hair with that barley-based ration rat mama?

I like this analogy: You're not going to put second-hand warn out tires on a brand new corvette, why feed a by-product to your show project? Sure you can use it, sure you'll save some money. It's really your choice based on what you want to get out of the project.  If you want to learn how to...

If the Res. Crossbred could have walked better, he would have been a sight to behold.  Standing still, he was awesome.  Pure power moved him into reserve, because it wasn't soundness.  What a steer.  Who else seen him?
