Mainly points but a bunch of the kids that go into Ring B aren’t even running points.  A second ring gives the calf another run through the ring and gives the family showing the calf the opinion of another judge.  It doesn’t hurt entries, grand drive really only matters for half a dozen of the...

The champion photos in the magazines are bit misleading, you see the pics in the magazine for both rings because those are the types of shows that make the magazines. I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the two ring shows in Texas (where either 2 or 4 rings is the norm) award overall in both...

Every show seems to be just a bit different but here’s how it’s typically done… No.  Just start Ring B as soon as Ring A is done.  Don’t even pretend to have a set schedule for Ring B other than “as soon as the breed is done in Ring A”.  Don’t start the first class of a breed in B until that...

They beat the Big XII co-champion by four touchdowns. But let's act like it was the same A&M team from 2011.

Former bulls don't just cost feed and initial cost, you have to throw in the damage those sexually frustrated hot head do to facilities, pens, and trucks.

On the original subject, in my opinion, you're going the wrong way if you are looking for the lightest shock.  If it's too weak, there will be times that it doesn't work and you're wasting your time and inflicting useless pain. Get a quality one with a decent shock and it will only require a...

Appropriate use in this context, within our operation, means that you use it when all other reasonable measures have been taken.  That includes attempting to put pressure on various points, escalating to twisting the tail and other physical measures.  It doesn't mean waiting 45 minutes for a cow...

You can get defensive about the belittling if you wish but you’re far from innocent in that regard.  You are the one that told people they just don't understand how cattle think because they use one of the most common cattle working tools in existence.  It’s not just once or twice, go back and...

BTDT, I hope I made it clear that I understand the idea of coaxing cattle through the chute.  What I'm saying is that there are cows that just don't buy into it and need to be prodded.  Not many, just like Temple Grandin says, about 1-5% of them. I'm not talking about the cows that you have...

I understand how most cows think, but I’m far from arrogant enough to think I know how all cows think. How many cows do you run?  It’s a relevant question because you’re free to spend (waste) a lot more time per cow when you have a couple dozen head than when you’re working a moderate sized...

I promise I don't mean to be rude but how do you convince a cow that getting immobilized and poked with a needles before some guy sticks his hand up her butt was her idea?

If that's your standard for commercial acceptability, 69.1% of the top 110 placing steers in Houston graded choice or better vs 65.62% for the most recent USDA national report. Stop being such a snob. There is nothing that gives you the moral standing to tell people what type of cattle they...

Don't you raise Shorthorns?

You can probably blame that answer on me. Not sure calling the cattle beauty queens would be the way to go.

You think people that spend $1,000+ on embryos and $7,000/hd are driven away by $50 subscriptions?

The site is less than two weeks old and ranks for it's name.  It ranks for that term because of both on page and external factors that are the product of RHD's work. The stuff that could be done for them to rank for Sculptor Angus (which BTW you are the only one saying would be the #1 way the...

Can't buy them or just out of stock? I've run into two situations in the past where one brand or the other was completely out of stock anywhere I looked.

Just want to throw this out there.  You can expand your search to nearby states as well... http://www.livestockjudges.org/directory.aspx?breedingcattle=on&state=Iowa

Rookie. -One kid called 71 times while my wife was in the hospital with our first.  I only know because the call blocker counted them. -BBB complaint because a virtual horse didn't win a virtual race.  Actually accused the FBI of being involved in it. -Had over a dozen pizzas delivered to my...

It's called Category II Red Angus. The offspring of that calf, if red, could then be registered as a 1A.
