[. Once again, too many 40 year old 4-Her's. >:( You have hit the proverbial NAIL ON THE HEAD!  If it werent for the 40 year old 4-Hers and FFA'ers.  There would be a whole lot less of this kinda stuff, and a whole lot more of kids learning what they are doing all this for.  Sometimes we get...

I didnt think my son would ever have "long" hair either. By long I mean touching the collar.  Actually he looks pretty good, I just had a really hard time accepting that my child whom would complain if his hair touched his ears would let it grow out.  Its hard letting them make choices for...

Ohhh, but still the thought that you spend nearly a whole year with them....to bad they dont come with social security numbers!  If they did I could still claim a dependent for another 17 years!

Do you know whom the breeder is?

What is fondue?  My sister said it is a cheese dip, I cannot imagine paying 40 bucks for cheese dip.    Please dont laugh at me as I am sensitive. (lol)

I just read in the newspaper that the Grand Champion steer at Fort Worth was bought by an oil company and they donated the calf to the Fort Worth Zoo!  What a happy ending for all involved!  I know we tend to get too attatched to our show animals knowing  what they are raised for but you always...

We are just plain excited to have a 4-H project heifer bred.  We bred a Mr. Incredible lineage herford heifer to Wells Fargo. I havent heard much on this bull, but were just hoping for an easy first calf.  We wanted to use Ali, but it was hard to find. Anyone else used Wells Fargo? 

I wonder what that chicken has been through? I raised lambs in High School...I didnt eat them after that.  When my son raised hogs for Ag projects I quit eating pork.  When he went to goats...well I never ate one so dont miss it.  Now he is into Steers.  Darn, but I love a good steak ... just...

Chambero, are you close to where they are located?

They have a web site.  Featured is a shorthorn I think its a Chaos ...BEAUTIFUL calf.  My friends kids and my kid are drooling over that calf.

That is kinda strange.  I wouldnt put much past a county show.  For years I defended the county show thing, but after this year I too was treated like crud from an advisor whom I thought was great.  After taking up for him from other parents for years I have now come to realize all the stuff was...

Hmmm, We are close to the border by about 5 hours.  Where I work we are also the bus station.  If anyone has watched Glenn Beck then you know his views on this subject very well.  So after hearing his speach I randomly started asking for identification if anyone wanted to purchase a bus ticket. ...

Is the Heat Wave bull the one that is throwing all of those pretty black and white spotted and swirly calves? (Colored like a holstein)

People eat those?

What is a cavvie please?

What does everyone think about one judge judging all species and classes of livestock?  For example: a judge comes to a county show, starts at 8 am with calves and goes all the way through the goats, sheep and then finishes up with swine at 6 p.m.  Can a hog judge be a steer judge and a sheep...

Okay....being our first year with calves we took the same precautions as we did with hogs. wash before you leave your farm wash at the show, and as soon as you get home wash before they even get close to the barn. Am I being paranoid?  I didnt care if it was midnight we washed our calf before he...

You know what?  You just taught me a lesson.  This is our first year and I had NO idea that could happen.  We often tie our steer up high at lunch and then my son goes out and lets him down after school.  NOBODY is around.  I am so sorry about your heifer...but thanks for waking me up! By the...

Thanks to everyone for their advice!  I will try some of these and see what happens.  This is our first calf, and we are very green when it comes to anything to do with club calves.  Amazing how some of the same things we used on hogs works on cattle too!  I am glad I didnt shy away from cattle...
