We wait until we have enough money to cover the checks. This generally results in mailing out the checks 30 to 60 days after the fair. With 200 to 300 animals being sold, it takes time to get the buyers to pay up. While there are always a few that we have to wait for, the bulk are very good...

My vet recommended using DMSO to reduce the swelling in hocks for one of our show steers. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a clear gel product that can be applied directly to the affected area. It quickly moves through the skin and can shrink swelling in a couple of days. We applied it daily after...

I grew up showing dairy and hogs, and now my kids show dairy and beef. A few things that I've learned. Feeding Calves need plenty of grain and a good quality grass hay. (A low quality alfalfa works too.) They need the protein for growing them, but you have to watch that you don't get too much...

We got started with the T84 for clipping holsteins. Our kids do both dairy and beef and the T84 is excellent for leaving a smooth cut. For dairy we use it on the entire body, for beef it is awesome around the head. Finally, it works great for people with little experience at clipping. If your...

My son has two heifers out of 004 from last year that he is showing this year and one of them looks so much like this one. We have not had any issues with our 004 daughters and we can put halters on them by just walking up to them with a couple of range cubes. I love the style and thickness of...

  We have a very nervous calf this year that has caused us fits this. Both my son and I are patient and calm by nature and have always used a method similar to Red's that is posted on here. My son purchased two club calves this year and one we purchased with the knowledge that he was stubborn...

"What do you use the T-84 blades for? I have one, but only use it when ALL the others are dull, havent quite found its purpose yet." My kids love using the T-84 blade for clipping heads and areas where they don't want an aggressive cut. They first started using them with dairy animals because...

If you include Kearney as part of SW Nebraska, the Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic is a very good show for both breeders and Jr's. Kearney is 100 miles east of North Platte and roughly 5 hours from Denver. http://www.cattlemens.org/

Your steer looks like he has a thick hindquarter for an Angus. What is his pedigree?

Can you tell me more about the Angus bull? I'm assuming he was clubby looking, but how about thickness, top, hip, hair, feet and legs? I'm also interested in sire/dam. My son is always on the lookout for what to breed his two females to.

I was disappointed by the number of Angus heifers. However, I have seen one of the Dethlef's calves in December and she was outstanding. Sand Dune has a couple and they have always been pretty impressive. The junior show is during the weekend and it is very competitive. My son showed two club...

I was there on Tuesday. I went through the Angus tent a couple of times and there was a heifer that caught my eye. Triangle J Ranch had a nice set of SimmiAngus bull calves featured just west of the Angus tent. My son purchased another club calf from them this year and they had some outstanding...

Brent - Do you have anything else that you might be interested in parting with? I live near Kearney and travel through the Omaha area occasionally.
