It's -43 windchill here in northern Illinois.

I sold a regular sized Hereford last spring that was 5 years old for $2000. He would have pry pounded out for $1600 at the time. Location also has something to do with it to. I know the mini deal has really taken off in Iowa. Beef Expo this year will even have a state sponsored sale. They are...

I wouldn't haul any horses without mats down with aluminum floor due to slick floor and shoes usually don't mix. So a flat floor would be helpful then.

I agree! People spend way to much on gifts. I had a late gift arrival for my dad but like we talked about were adults and its not that big of deal. We made Christmas this year in our house all about our son who is almost 2. My husband and I had so much fun with him and his gifts. We pry spoiled...

Mix your own is the cheapest way to go. On here look up the AAOK recipe many people use it or a variation of it.

There are some still on the fluffy cow Facebook page just have to scroll back aways. I don't remember which ones tho

It was breed rep for my area and since we raise Herefords it's not going to help you much but the principal applies. Look at the older bulls that have the traits you want to breed for if you have seen several calf crops out of them they will be more predictable.

Are you close to any ethanol plants? I have friends in southern Iowa that are very close to an ethanol plant and they are feeding a ration with DDG to cows for very little expense.

If it can get around and eat and make it to weaning it will make it to market. When I worked at sale barn in college there was an ole boy that would buy all the odd calves. The 3 legged, blind, or the stuff that would only bring .05/lb. he would take them home and keep them in a small lot and...

It's just like Heat Wave nobody says its a Heat Wave 5 or 7 or whatever number they are at now they just say Heat Wave. Same with Monopoly they just say Monopoly not the number

What are you feeding? Percent fat? Percent protein? Have you worked him lately?

Knowledge is part of the game I remember one time in senior showmanship the judge asked every how many days does a cow come into heat the girl next to me answered 24. We were both in our last year of showing so at some point you have to learn something. In my mind a good showman is the total...
