Same at ours, only family, 4-H'ers or 4-H Leaders. I get paid to clip and fit at our county, but I'm a 4-H'er so they complain for no reason.

At a county fair, anyone that's not family would be consider a fitter(maybe not a pro)

The idea behind the barley is to make them fat(flank is one of the places fat is stored) so the extra fat will make him look deeper flanked.

Was wondering who y'all use for insurance, and what does it cover? If a cow dies calving does it cover her? Just wondering, don't have many clubbies left, and would like to cover my butt.

Something like that haha. But really, I have had bad luck with corded drills, seem to break the end off the brush when I use them, also I HATE cords, I have like a phobia of cords around the chute lol. Get a cheap drill(black and decker/skill) Yes they don't last forever, but they are light, and...

a sure sign that they are in heat is when they try and mount other cows heads.

Brush that hair till your arm falls off, leave them under fans, then take your blower and blow them off some so that hair gets lifted off the hide. If you don't give that hair some volume with the blower that hair basically puts a blanket on that calf with the hair stuck to it and keeps in heat...

I don't do it for the money, I do it because I love doing it, and love meeting new people and talking cattle. I normally charge $50 a calf clipping, $50 fitting(less if just pulling the legs up) $80 for both  For all day work I charge $150, but I'll pay for my food, and my motel. I'll be there...

What year is? How big is the generator? Where exactly are you at?

Just wondering but was a necropsy really needed? I mean you just said you shot the cow, and now you need to figure out why she died?

If I were you I'd sell the heifer for $800 you're just starting out, would get your name out for some promotion. I'm assuming you're talking this cows calf?

Not the killer instinct bred by Mid Continent Farms.

When I started feeding it, it seemed to boost their appiteite, along with add some bloom to their hair. I'd feed it again.

The lister Ledgends are 280 at sullivans right now.

You use your Listers for sale cattle? I need to buy a new set to clip sale cattle, but haven't decided on what yet. If your buying blades for your listers or premiers then buy premier blades. They don't rust as bad, and you get a niffty blade pouch. How hard are the blades to change? Noise? I'm...

Have you ever seen a calf drink ever clear straight? They get about the same face that people do <beer>

Radio Playing in the barn all the time. Give him some everclear and you'll be able to work with him enough at home that you won't need at the show.

Beef Heads, Love the Big Andis clippers, very quite and clip real nice. I can't complain about Lister's stable mates(and can clip sheep) Only have one set but they are about 12 years old, and still run super fast and quite if well oiled. Blades are expenisve and you abotu have to send them to...

My old AI tech swore by the 12 hour rule, and only got around 50% and alot of bulls. I started havin bred later and now getting around 75% and some heifers. I bred majority of my cows 6 hours after they quit standing as a wise old man told me I'd have a much better chance of getting heifers...

We have what we call a portable chute(not so portable down the highway but from where we need it go it works. It's essentially everything you need to work cattle. It has supports that fold out from the side so you can line it with 3 panels and they won't be moving everywhere.  It leads into a...
