    Breeders Pages - Advice please

    My thoughts - Take them for what they are worth  ;) I wouldn't want my usersame associated with my site. Big part of the fun of playing around here is maintaining at least a little anonymity. I really like it when the list is searchable/sortable by recent updates, like on EDJE, and of course...

    A first on photo?

    I thought that was a nice touch as well. I think what we are doing here on the internet (getting on here and bashing and bitc--ng about the crooked cattle and photo alterers) may have just made a small impact on our little industry  :) When I go to the bull stud, I'm sure I'll be much more...

    new bull Breathe Easy

    Those are both great looking bulls, for being fairly easy calving, by pedigree at least. Anyone seen either in person? That cow sure has done her share of great things, but has a son ever really caught on?

    new bull Breathe Easy

    Anyone seen this calf? He is an Ali x Harrietta and looks dang nice in the picture on Trausch's website. Nice picture, nice pedigree. What's he like in person?

    Grand Champion

    (clapping) Big Congrats! Enjoy it, appreciate it.  So many people put in so many years and so much work and never reach that goal, so way to go!

    Iowa Beef Expo

    Anyone know or heard thru the grapevine which of the clubby bulls will be on display? What days are the bulls displayed out there?

    Clipper Lube

    The Sullivan's Extend is the absolute best when you are working with glue. A buddy of mine uses the Andis aerosol stuff (Cool Lube or something) and I don't like the way that the blades shed the hair after I use that stuff. That is the biggest thing for me when I'm clipping with the Andis 2...

    I am interested in one I saw on the videos today - Merger. Anyone know what he is and what he looked like in person?

    Semen merchandising potential on Bulls?

    I grew up in Ohio and we'd have school and 4-H trips to Select Sires. There, if I recall correctly, Pine Drive Big Sky was said to be the all time top seller, this may date me a bit :) I believe he was also heralded as the first bull to sell over a million dollars of product. He is buried there...

    Isn't it a felony everywhere in the U.S.? I know it is in Ohio.

    NWSS GRAND and RESERVE Pics You Judge

    I agree. Most do put their hands on fat cattle, but don't really know why. Gives them an out when they don't know what to do with one - just say he doesn't handle good. It is a shame that actually knowing finish is a lost art I'm afraid. Many a major steer show was won with the feed bucket years...

    Favorite Bulls on display at NWSS

    I thought he looked nice in the video as well. He is a May though and it appears to show, he looks kinda like a baby compared to some of the others, but so does Ivy League to me. I know his dam pretty well and she matured late (green as grass as a calf). I'm not the Shorty guru that many of you...

    Tad off topic, but did anyone else see Rachel give the SP bull bracket results on the Gunpowder N Lead interview on Cattle.com? I thought that would get some folks here a little excited  ;D

    Womanizer

    I only saw the video and talked to a couple ppl that I respect who were there, but am I the only one that thinks he's kinda straight hocked? OK they all are a bit, but I mean I thought this one might be a tad more extreme than some of the others, appears to get his loin up on the move as well...

    Bull Promotion- Controlled or UNcontrolled?

    Hair is the least of the worries when it comes to "creating" one. At least that is a heritable trait

    For those confused, here is my bovine plan for '09.

    Bull Promotion- Controlled or UNcontrolled?

    I think there are a bunch of good points in the above posts. The advent of the internet has changed the way bulls are promoted the last several years and it is sad to hear that it may be affecting the number of bulls put on display. I think Brad is right that people have been way too negative in...

    Come see Mercedes Benz in Denver NEW POLL ADDED WANT YOUR INPUT

    All that stuff is a draw, but it's the bull that makes people actually stay and look. I go for the free stuff. I like the little nick nacky stuff that can fit in my pocket like a pen, pocketknife, etc. I will not walk past the ones who put out peanuts or candy without stopping, period, but if...
