We started our calves last year on Barley in late October, one responded well and the other began to bloat.  Chambero lost a calf last year that bloated on Barley and died.  I personally had to remove our Friction steer off of it, even the cooked version would bloat him.  The Shorty ate it like...

My youngest son, age 12 is left handed and really struggled in shifting the stick from his left hand in the lead position to his right hand for show position.  It seemed to take him forever to get ready.  With a little practice it worked out fine, he feels in better control of the animals head...

We use an electromagnetic latch on our cool room, it will withstand 3500 lbs. of pressure against the door without opening.  We attach a simple rubber bungee cord to the handle on the outside of the door, and attach it to an opposing fence.  If power is lost the cord will pull the door open and...

My last year as a High School Principal I arrived to work early as usual to open the building for the morning and to my surprise found a dead deer run up the flag pole.  I took the animal down and placed it in the back of my truck and removed it to the Ag. Shop, not telling anyone of the...

Young man it is time for you to stop and ponder your actions.  I have seen multiple posts from you recently that has received positive feedback from the members on this site, and now you lash out at those same people.  I personally do not approve of this type of action towards others on a public...

Our county is a hair show at the end of March here in Texas, which is very unusual because most counties are slick shear.  The only major that is a hair show is Fort Worth at the end of January.  In our case you decide which route you want to go, hair or slick and then bypass the others.  A lot...

Our steers are fed 12% protein and heifers are on 16% ration and we supplement both of these with priobotics.  Our steer feed is currently running $360/ton bagged and contains oats and flaked corn.  I like it better than the commercial feeds we have used the past two years, and the calves have...

We have pampered our children, myself included until this summer.  Both of my sons attend summer football off-season workouts from 8-10 am Monday-Thursday and then spend the afternoon picking and loading watermelons for market.  My oldest has informed me he is anxious for football season to...

Go to Showsteers.com and pull up listings by state, then click on Arkansas.  I never heard back from you on the calf you asked me about that I have for sale.

I have a December American cross calf in Texas located 90 miles West of Shreveport, LA. weighs about 525 lbs. and in the process of halter breaking.

I have a Maine/Angus x Simbrah calf that will weigh 525 lbs. born in December, he will classify American.  I am located 90 miles West of Shreveport, LA in Nacogdoches, TX.

Come on now Chambero, it is not a hole in the wall.  It was very clean, good service and good food.  My youngest son even experienced eating calf fries, I still can not believe he ate them and enjoyed them.  You know I am spoiled eating all of the fresh catfish we catch down here, so restaurant...

Shortdawg, I have hunted the White River area also and really enjoyed it.  Winnie is only a 3 hour drive for me plus I get to spend time with a fraternity brother from college.  By the way your baseball team is looking very good.

It is the wintering grounds of the Central Flyway.  They raise a lot of rice in the area and have several fresh water refuges for the birds to rest on during the day.  If interested contact me and I'll be glad for you to come along on a hunt with me and my two boys.  If you would like to bring a...

Different approach same outcome, tie the calf to a sturdy rail and use a waterhose to spray their back feet and let them kick away.  Pull up a chair and relax, this may take a little time but eventually they become tired of kicking.  Now it is time to brush and love on them, if they attempt to...

Shortdawg, I visit Winnie a couple of times a year to do some duck hunting with a college buddy who is an outfitter there.  Yes Al T's is still open and has moved into a larger facility, great food and definitely camouflage is required in their dress code.

TCR, Everyone has their preference so an apology is not necessary.  Yes the Rhino is fast but when you look at the specs on it, it is simply the Grizzly four wheeler with a body on it.  It is easier to maneuver and smaller than the Ranger, but at 6'7" 285lbs. not very comfortable for us big...

I own a 2001 Polaris Ranger and it is a working machine, if you are looking at a new one do not let them talk you into the 700cc engine you do not need it.  Mine has the 500cc and it is all you need, will haul 1000 lbs. in the bed and will pull a load.  I personally would recommend it over the...
