The worst is guys still call wanting cattle at prices that there hasn't been in 5 years. I had a guy call me not wanting to spend more than $2500 for his next herd bull. I have one left and he is priced at $4000 the guy told me that was outrageous. I told him look at what fat cattle are bringing...

I have never heard of Missouri having a beef expo like other states. The Columbia AGR show has turned into having displays and such over the past few years tho.

Ranch House Designs can also design logos. I have also had Twisted Stitch do work for me. I have never paid until I had stuff made.

Getting calves with a trader isn't all bad most will say who bred the calf and its free advertisement. If they buy one from your program from a trader they might want to come see more or buy direct from you the next year.

I used one this summer to break an 8 and 10 month old bulls. I have seen 1200 lbs steers tied to one as well. My friends have a darn good one that a few hours on her make a world of difference.

I have sold more on facebook this year and just sold my first bull off of here. I think people are doing alot of looking around this year. I was getting very discouraged then here in the last week I have been getting quite a few calls.

We switched to Show stopper by Vittetoe because of location but since then I have decided I really like the Wever products. I have nothing against Sullivans and still use some things from them.

I have a yearling bull possibly sold to Mississippi if I can arrange shipping for him. I have another bull heading to Oklahoma this weekend that he could catch a ride with. Please let me know if you are going this way and when.

They have been dry lotted since we have had them which was late May.

We have a set of leased roping steers that part of them have developed a weird lameness. I thought at first it was foot rot and we treated the few that were lame for that. Its 4 days later and no improvement. These cattle are suppose to go back in a couple weeks. I had a guy wonder if they had...

Sure Champ

Had a friend last weekend wean all of his bull calves born in the spring. He had a couple March bulls riding and he didn't want to take any chances. I had a friend back in college 10 years ago or so get a show heifer in when she was about a yearling in late spring and I told her that I thought...

I have 3 hereford bulls that I think are better than average. I am trying to sell them and having absolutely zero luck. I do not have them priced outrageous either. I have pictures and videos. I have listed them in the classifieds on here, craigslist, and some facebook groups. I know fall isn't...

I have seen some good calves out of Cracker Jack and True Grit. I still like About Time. We use CRR Catapult and Perfect Timing this year.

They can be outside in the snow. Even in the winter we bring them in and work with them and it sounds like your barn will be just fine for that. They need plenty of room for excersise and to play. Just if you wash them make sure they are dry before kicking out.

We stay cheap like Super 8 or motel 6. We have always stayed in Independence. Only a 20 min drive and many options for food in that area.

Agreed! Genetics play a huge role I have decided. I have a friend that got in a yearling bred heifer yesterday and has 3-4 inches of hair all over her body and legs. She hasn't been washed since May.

For show calves surgical is the way to go. Around here $40 will have them looking polled. Many people and vets do it and depending on your location I'm sure someone can point you in the right way.

Sure Champ is worth the money. Hopefully your steer is growing on Fitters Edge I had issues with mine not doing well on that feed. Look into AAOK feed ration on here. It is one of the most economical rations that can do the most good for you and be tweaked for where in the country you live.

It sounds like the heifer has the situation figured out. She knows what she can get away with and with who. Have you been tying her up? I had a heifer like this a few years ago. She got away in the yard one day and ran for 5 miles til she found other cows. Once she got into a routine tho and...
