We have a set of the cowboys.  They are super around the chute at show time because you don't have to worry about cords.  About a two hour battery life fully charged.  Wouldn't use the battery on a daily basis. 

Trendsetter is a small frame bull but built like a mack truck.  He is sound as a cat also.  The only thing that surprised me is that he doesn't have the clubby butt that you would expect from the profile pic that you would expect.  Don't get me wrong, he has PLENTY of thickness but its not...

People on the outside looking in think we are just crazy for the money we spend on cattle.  I got the same thing when I showed horses when I was a kid.  My argument always is, how much money does all the basketball, volleyball, etc sports costing you?  Does it ever pay off?  What other activity...

Laube clippers are some of the strongest, fastest and quietest clippers you will ever own.  They interchange with any A5 blade and are worth every penny.  Even the little 9 ounce ones.  I used to groom dogs and would run them for 8 hours a day and they rarely quit on me and never got hot in my...

Update to the soap opera on my farm!!  The 3 year old has decided that after all the calf would be a good thing to take care of and they are now out with the rest of the herd and she is keeping him close to her like any good cow, she is still getting her head cut off this fall when he is weaned...

We've pretty much decided that we are aiming for mid march calves next year. It wouldn't even be that bad if we had a big enough barn to put them in for a bit. We only have room for 2. Very frustrating!! Thanks for letting me vent guys!!  It's why I love steerplanet.

We started the week with our Carneyman heifer that was born Friday with a raging case of pneumonia.  She is still alive and acts like she'd like to nurse but doesn't have the strength so she is getting tube fed.  Then our 3 year old that calved Monday night decided that taking care of her calf...

Two Carneyman heifers out of angus cows, one is an Ohlde cow and one is out of G13 steel One Black Joker heifer out of a Meyer grandaughter A Shockwave heifer out of an Emblazon cow The bulls include one Black Joker out of a Meyer grandaughter Macho out of a commercial angus Shockwave out of a...

Ringworm is a fungus, same as athletes foot.  So yes they will get it again if the conditions are right, exposure, etc.  The best product we've ever used is Stop N Grow by Vittetoe. http://www.vittetoe.com/showstopper/showfeedadd.htm  Scroll down the page and you'll find it.  If you call them...

Love my iphone too.  The only down is the fact that the battery life is very low.  Now if CattleMax had an iphone version that would update with the computer when you synced your phone it would be PERFECT!  LOL

7 so far! 4 heifers and 3 bulls. These are by far the best set of heifers we've ever had.

This is my only photogenic baby so far!  This is Juliet, she was born on Valentines Day and is out of Black Joker and Caitlins very first show heifer who is a double bred Meyer grandaughter.  Needless to say Caitlin has already laid claim to her for the show ring next year

When our one and only daughter was 3, almost 4 she saw her first calf born.  When she asked how the calf had gotten in the cows bottom I told her to remember when daddy was using the big silver tank.  She remembered him breeding the cows and you could just see the wheels turning.  All of the...

Yeah!!!  My favorite thread!!  We were very disappointed with the start of our calving season, our best cow who was bred to Black Joker had a breech heifer, born dead of course.  Then a couple of days later our 3 year old angus had a beautiful Carneyman heifer, the best newborn heifer we had...

Trendsetter won Grand Champion Simsolutions, again www.showchampions.com BK10-1-2086

He will talk to you. Know your calf

Don't know if he will be in the yards but I know this bull is showing in Denver, TWCC Trendsetter.  Going for the triple crown, he's won Grand Champion SimSolutions bull at Kansas and Louisville

We have two of these and are getting ready to purchase a third.  They are by far the best hay feeders ever made.  Have a 5 year guarantee and also guarantee a 30% savings in hay.  We feed 26 cows 2 bales of hay every 3-4 days and they clean it up all the way to the ground. 

No experience with the cowboy cuts but my husband used to work angus sales and he swore up and down the EXT's and the Lucy's Boys were the worst.  My personal hate is the Scotch Caps.  Had one momma that literally ran my husband up a tree right after she had calved and then circled around under...
