I did want to add that the photo of the petta singer in the article showed the singer wearing what appeared to be leather pants, and leather boots.  Again, is familiar with pamela anderson being a supporter of petta yet owning a car with leather interior.  "Is that bad?" was her response when...

This issue reminds me of Joan Jett(?) being removed from the Dakota float at the rose parade.  The people in the Dakota's were upset being she was a huge supporter of petta and did not want her to represent them, so they switched her to another float.  I thought that made total sense and didn't...

If it is a private business, then I do not think the gov't has any right to tell them who they serve or not serve. I have heard many a story about club calf sellers and purebred stock sellers "choosing" who they sell their calves to; a new person who is just starting and doesn't have "right"...

1A. A fat steer should be approx. 15-16 mos of age in any breed. 1B. A fat steer should be approx. 15-16 mos of age in any breed. 2. Depends on the female. Are you going to carcass shows or just halter shows? Many of the modern red angus will make nice steers depending on what bloodlines they...

Which is the exact reason I do not like the "texas system".  While I agree that registration papers only prove someone paid someone some money for a piece of paper, how does the "eyeball system" work any better?

If you have 6 head of Scooby X Moriah calves and 6 head of Puff Diddy X Farah calves in the same pen. You hand feed them exactly the same amount of feed and Scooby calves weigh 75 pounds more than the Diddy calves. What term would you use to describe that ability to gain on the same amount of...

Not sure I follow your logic.  Any company that supports petta or hssus is in DIRECT conflict with everything I stand for.  Why would I support their business if they are not going to support mine?  Those that deny that conflict are either in deep denial or just too lazy to shop around. 

From her photos, cleaning up her front end might be as big of issue as you think. She might be heavy shouldered, but not sloppy in the brisket/throat area. I have used Fat Tony, and know of several others as well. He seems to be inconsistent even when bred to very similar type and bloodline...

RCR - Your post do not offend me at all. Every person likes a different type of cattle and that is fine by me; less bidding competition!  I knew your family back in the 80's and 90's and even your taste in cattle have evolved. What I take issue in is people having hidden agenda's when promoting...

Just a friendly reminder when you are purchasing gifts that several BIG companies are BIG supporters of petaa and hsuss (misspelled on purpose). Please feel free to add to this list. North Face - Donate millions to petaa. Why support a company that does not support our industry?

RCR - A 100 pound actual birth weight and just a 590 adj weaning weight with EPD's all below breed average?? Plus 29Z is an UNPROVEN bull with no progeny to back up his data. If he is proven after several years of use in different herds, then I might consider using him on heifers.... until then...

After clicking on the link, the name does make sense and would be encouraged to use him based on that information alone!  <beer>

Without a photo it is pretty tough to recommend a bull. Hamley will add guts, but will downsize at least 2 frame scores. Also not super pretty from the shoulders forward. Sakic will add femininity but will also downsize. He will add some eye appeal. Ole's Oscar might fit all your requirements...

Hasn't the black angus breed been doing this already; high marbling, high grade = low milk, poor leg structure  (Geesh, relax, it was is a general joke.... I think!)    <beer> Edit: I wanted to explain the theory. Low milking cows with high carcass will produce light weaning (no milk) and...

I am a college football junkie..... Must admit, I love the big 10 and hate the SEC and I really do not like Alabama.... GO MISS ST!!  How is bama #1, when Miss St is giving them all they want? (Miss St should be winning, but have missed a field goal from 22 yds, and didn't take advantage of 2...

Chambero - I guess I should have started and stopped with that statement.

This is the same article that was posted a few days ago by loveredcows. Until cattle shows are determined by a carcass contest without hair, hide, color, clip jobs, and exhibitors it will ALWAYS be someone's opinion that selects the winner.  I do not like to get beat by an animal that I feel...

Check your filters and if dirty at all, replace them.

Big M - Sounds like you are doing what you can, but unfortunately, I can not offer you much encouragement from experience.  Seems like if they do not respond after 4-5 days, the door shuts on recovery.  I am not one to give up if there is ANY hope, and I have babied them for 4-6 weeks with...

As I mentioned in the other thread about breaking a calf, this was a battle that wasn't won by your Dad.  Calf - 1, Dad - 0. You have the right idea, go back and start by re-gaining her trust. You might even try hand feeding her a treat when she leads.  Once she has remembered that you are a...
