I may have misread rules.

I watched the live video a little bit (med wt crossbred champion, some of the heavies, and overall).  Reserve overall looked much better on video than I think the photos do.  The class winners I watched all looked fine, but the grand overall drive looked like a fairly easy decision. Isn't the...

Our babies (fall borns) are wrong age for the prospect show.  Junior breeding heifer show is a possibility also, but the market heifer show would be "different" for us and I think interesting. 

You have to be tough to show goats.  Houston does their goat show the same way.  I had to buy my youngest son a goat his first year.  We only kept one steer for him and he developed chronic pneumonia so he had nothing for the majors.  He worked his tail off exercising that goat.  It was the year...

I can't figure it out from the rule book. 1.  Am I correct that Grand Market Heifer shows against Grand Market Steer? 2.  Rule book says they now have breeds for steers, but doesn't mention heifers.  Am I correct that they have separate classes for heifers?  Guessing they don 't hsve enough...

I do apologize to my friends on here for being surly about this, but I just am.

It's called 4-H meetings and ag class.  You show up and you find out stuff.  All of us started out somewhere.  When my single mom was getting me started, she didnt try to burn down the house.

The "holier than thou" came around when several of us offered "nice" advice and she (who doesn't have time to help the show) did have time to (so she said) to organize an uprising and get people to quit the show.  If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its highly likely a duck - this...

"Change Agents" in a business certainly arent new to the industry they are in.  And most spend a while learning the lay of the land and figuring out root causes before they start lopping off heads.

Yall are making this way too complicated.  All of us who have kids showing are frankly too biased to be the people making these decisions.  We are biased toward our own kids, kids from our town, steers vs pigs, etc.  The people that run county shows and do the fundraising work their butts off -...

All of these ideas are great and fine, but you are making them from the exhibitor/parent perspective.  We don't get to decide - the buyers decide how they want to spend their money.  You start trying to make rules and tell someone else how they can spend their money - they just go way and...

Yep.  You can find their notification on their website or the TJLA facebook page.  Just trying to make sure that those that need to know know.

I've had a bunch of WAs.  I put them in butthead category, not crazy category.  They aren't little kid calves in my experience.

Houston just put out a notice that Zilmax cannot be used this year.  Optaflexx is still acceptable.  I figured we would still be able to use our existing supplies of Zilmax.

Implants are going to hurt you on the fat also.  It's always a balancing act. At this stage if you are going to add corn, cook it.  I would first add one of the very good fat supplements out there (Power Fuel by Purina, Stand Alone, Golden Flow, etc - whatever you can get).  I prefer those over...

It can certainly happen with young guys, old guys, etc, but as a breeder you ought to be suspicious when a teenager or 20 something is agreeing to pay what you are asking, but can't pay till "later".  These boys just don't have that kind of money. Of course I've also that getting paid by the...

I don't think any of us are opposed to what you are trying to do if you are a legitimate business.  We're trying to figure out if you are a legitimate business or spreading "stuff" (which does happen sometime on here). In Texas, we have access to help for this kind of issue through the Texas...

Common delimma we all face in TX. I'm a big believer in implants, specifically Revalor G or S - whichever you can get, but I don't usually hit them with them till late.  Ideally you'd have implanted about a 30-45 days ago for FW.  If you get it done today, you can help your calf before Fort...

You've got yourself quite a list of guys you are asking about.  Are you an attorney that folks are engaging?  If you are, you need to be advertising ways to help people get contracts/receipts when dealing with folks like this in business.  I imagine its like getting blood out of a turnip unless...

CAB - that skin/attachment you are talking about apparently can be a serious issue.  The only bull we ever took to get collected (a young bull) had it unbeknownst to us at that time.  REI had the Okie State doctors do the snipping.  Apparently its very common and you never know about it on...
