That's it! Thanks...I was sure I would remember when I looked at the sign, then I couldn't for the life of me when I got home. Found their website as well http://www.twistedstitch1.com/

Could someone please tell me the name of the place that  was right there inside the entrance to the trade show that had clothing, hats, embroidery type stuff. I just popped in and out of there a couple of times for show supplies and they had some stuff that caught my eye. I thought I would go...

I'm not a real shorthorn person but I dd see them pretty good the last few years at the major national shows. Trump has done great things for the breed when it comes to skeletal correctness, both on the feet and legs and through the ribcage and spine. These top end heifers are really perfectly...

I could not have been more disapointed with how he looked on display at OBE. He had sold so high at Holtkamp's and I had heard good things. IMO, he did not display well that March. Too course, rugged shouldered, turned out, giant jointed. HUGE bone and ass though. I would not have subjected a...

IDK exactly, but she's going to be around 47-48" mature, I think.  Not really that tall, but really stout.  If she had been a steer, I think that she could've weighed in the 1,100-1,200 range pretty easily.  I don't mind short as long as they are flat out good & can weigh 1,200+.  I think...

There are a lot of folks jumping on the Monopoly band wagon right now, me included, as I just bought some to use this spring and bought some Monopoly sired eggs, but I think that you do have to be cautious where you use him at. The good ones were super good this fall and sold like crazy, but I...

How big is she? Looks way too small to make Monopoly, or maybe even HW work for steers, but could just be the picture. If I were you I'd definetly look toward that Hannibal route, but I think I'd use Hannibal himself. TH and PHA free, has worked extremely well on Shorthorns, will add the shot of...

Bag it like silage? What other ways are there to store it?

Surprised that Trademark isn't higher in the discussion here. Calves easy, big bodied, good looking cattle, especially good crossed on the Dream On lines. I'd say he's as hot as any. I liked Savvy in Denver too. We only had one, a half blood out of a EXT cow. Came small, grew good. Looked good...

Am I the only one that always watches a calf walk both straight at me and straight away from me before I buy them? I wish all these cattle that are videoed for sales would at least be shown walking away.

If I recall correctly, it was the scary calving stories that kind of hampered Ground Zero after his first calf crop. I think it was that plus a little lack of hair that hampered Fear This (Strictly's sire) as well. I have seen some nice looking Ground Zero females, but I think you'd really have...

I'd love to know those plus the Carnac x Dede steer and the 808 heifer

I remember jbh telling me about a My Turn x Whiskey heifer that he had seen in Eastern OH this last spring. She looked really good in pictures and he was really excited about that one. I believe he had a video on his Youtube called something like "My Turn Progeny" that she might have been in. I...

I'm not saying that it is the perfect answer or the end all solution either, but I do think it is better than the alternative for now, and with OCA and OFB behind it, it seems like the thing to do. It's too bad that it is something that we have to worry about

I just want to encourage everyone from Ohio (and in all the agricultural states of the Midwest and beyond who can hopefully learn as much as possible and follow suit here) to get educated and get out there and stump for Issue 2 in Ohio. Ohio is seeking to amend the state constitution by starting...

There seem to be quite a few Simmental folks hovering around here lately. What does anyone know about the 1/2 blood bull JF Foundation? I saw him on Jansen's site last year and now there is a new picture on DeRouchey's. He looks pretty good to me, but I know nothing of Simmental pedigrees. What...

I read this on Kevin Mears' blog and it really makes you think. The hog business is clear in the tank, with the H1N1 thing being just another nail in a coffin that was already pretty well built. Are we building ours? If I were a purebred breeder  Industry News - Friday 7th of August 2009...

Contact Bob Agle, here's info: http://www.showsteers.com/Agle/index.htm They raised and promoted the bull. He is super for clubby cows that cross well to the steer bulls. Bob still flushes cows to him to raise females, and Bob puts a nice set together every year

Yeah, there are dozens of places that have sales in IA, Labor Day and the weekend after, where guys used to eat up steers at $800-$1000 a round, fill the trailer, bring em home, blow em and mow em, and sell them for $2500. Was just a matter of who got there first. I don't think honeyholes like...

Great looking pair. Lucky (dog)
