    Polled Heifer Not So Polled

    I don't know about anywhere else, but in Kansas they show in 2 seperate classes, a dehorned Hereford can't show in the Polled Hereford class, you might check on the shows you are planning to show her at.

    Polled Heifer Not So Polled

    I didn't think you could enter a horned Hereford into the Polled Hereford Association, you may have paper problems on your heifer, they are 2 seperate record books from what I understand.

    starting creep too early?

    I don't think you can start too early, get them eating as soon as they will.

    KS Chi field day??

    Haven't heard, since the KCCA fell apart it's kind of hard to find show info, facebook has a spring shows in Kansas site that has a lot of them, but it didn't have any info on the Chi day.  Jeff Bryant should be able to answer that question.

    Dead cow. 45 day old calf is a stud. now what?

    The steer we are showing this year was a bucket calf, the trick is to feed him multiple times a day (we fed 4 bottles a day) and as soon as you can find a cow that will take the calf, we have weaned at 90 days and been fine, but not quite that early.

    From bad to worse

    Using the scour guard before calving in the right time frame should be the only protection you need, we have never had one get scours that mom had the scour guard in the correct time frame, if it wasn't done in the correct window that's a different deal, you shouldn't have to redo the calf at...

    What makes a calf a good one?

    I guess it would all depend on your goals, each person has a different reason for showing and that reason determines what is important to them.  I can't speak for anyone else, but at my house it really doesn't matter how much I made on a calf, it is no fun to show one that isn't competitive.  I...

    Heifer Issues Need Advice

    I guess just to add 1 thing, in some of these bid off deals you need to check the terms, I know like in Brad Hooks calf sale it states right in the terms that there is no breeding guarantee on the heifers, so you might check what your terms were first.

    Embryo/Breeding Question (Please Respond!!!) :)

    Monopoly is the hot thing right now, I would flush to Monopoly but I wouldn't put an egg in her, I would breed her back to something else.

    Heifer Issues Need Advice

    Agree with this post, showing does nullify the guarantee if the breeder wants to be a jerk, but if she was a free martin the breeder should have already had some idea of this when you bought the calf since that happens with twins.  The breeder should give you a refund, or give you the option of...

    Has anyone done business with Diamond M Cattle (Mark Mueller) of Hiawatha, Kan?

    We've know Muellers for 15 years, bought numerous cows and heifers from him and have not ever had a bad experience.  I trust Mark, but I also wouldn't buy anything I hadn't seen in person (from anyone) unless it is a dollar figure I can afford to lose, just our policy.  I haven't seen the...

    Shorthorn Jr Nationals Judges?

    You must be psychic, we all know who the players are, but unless you paid off the judge (and no one seems to know who it is) you really have no idea who is going to win. Sorry, I forgot to spell check
