Is he tied up during the day at all? I have noticed that when they are tied with their head up for extended periods of time that it does help with working with them. Lead him around and just keep working with him. Also if you can walk him into a set up instead of jacking with the show stick and...

This is some really good advice! We have always used a version of AAOKs feed. I personally don't like most of the bagged feed that you can buy. On heifers more fill is better than feed especially when they get older.

Get her use to the noise. Radio in the barn, kids playing, just comotion even at home. She will settle down. It just takes time.

I have a friend who travels the midwest with his horse and dogs gathering up wild cattle and getting them loaded for people. He worked for several ranches in Texas also. If you need his number let me know.

Brent And Shelly White in southern Iowa have some really good ones. They have been very successful and always have cattle for sale. I can get you contact info if you would like. Junior nationals are next week for the minis.

Were taking a big fall to state fair and this spring for 45 days this late spring we actually kicked her out on grass. She shucked some hair and really freshened up quite a bit. We have a girl taking her to county fair but more importantly we bought her to be a cow. Just feed one right and you...

I think it should have papers or not. Then follow up with DNA testing. Iowa does that now. I don't understand the classification system but I also don't understand Chi's being 8% or whatever to show. Thats a mutt. Not a purebred.

If you have amish near by talk to them on the lumber. We have an amish saw mill close by that is much cheaper than ever buying from a supplier. Also talk to any friends in construction you may be able to get steel siding from them if they are changing a building. Currently we have a pole barn...

I'm in Iowa. I guess every state has different rules.

In our county and state as far as I know you can take the same steer to county and state fair. If people want to spend $15K so be it. I grew up with one of the largest cattle guys in the country in my county. Back then he showed plus his older sister. Between the two of them it wasn't easy. They...

I know of someone heading from Iowa to Oklahoma sometime later this week if that helps at all.

Fushion Cattle in Illinois might have something.

The owner of the company I work for has a saying ... "Customers are like hearts, they go where they are loved" it is very true people go where they have had the best experience regardless

Im pretty sure he wants a purebred not a look alike.

I really like the Catapult calves that I have seen this winter. I also think any of the NJW bulls would work.

Brent White in Blakesburg, Iowa has some darn good ones and has had quite a bit of success with them. Iowa has there own breed division for them at all the junior shows. There is also shows at state fair and I know at Denver, KC and Louisville. They also had there first ever junior nationals...

I just took a 2355 in on trade with a loader and bale spear. It is in pretty good shape.

I'm a Chiefs fan too! I went to yesterdays game. It was amazing and I just wish that team would show up every week.

Thats the thing to a calf that will win my county fair might not even be competitive else where. I know that after walking thru the stalls for my county I grew up showing in last year I was very disapointed. There was no steers that were weighing above 1200 and most were hardly clipped. I can...

Sure champ seems to help. We also feed out of pans tied year round or with calves a few weeks before the show so they know and like the smell. Also water out of buckets a few times also. We haven't had a problem in years.
