I would like to hear from anyone who went to Fort Worth on how they did with their Jr. Heifers.  Some of the results are posted, but not all of them.  I'll start, May 1, 07 Brangus heifer won her class, but was too green in Division youngest son elated.  Jan. 3, 07 Maine-Anjou heifer (Ali sired)...

Send me a PM with your e-mail address, my fitter is interested and would like to talk to you about details.  I spoke with him yesterday while he clipped my sons' heifers and he is interested since he will be in Houston during that period.

Elbee, if you meant Sawboss  and not "Strawboss" I have posted about my experience.  By the way I admire a man of action with little words, cuts through all of the games.

I used a dog Ai services in Oklahoma City 6 years ago on our female American Bulldog, the name of the outfit is "Once Frozen".

I met my loved one in college class 1987, Teaching High School Business, she was preppy I was a slouchy jock.  We both had eyes for each other but never dated in school.  In 1989 a mutual friend reacquainted us on February 11 at a honky-tonk.  We had our first date Feb. 12 and I asked her to...

I remember now, last time I saw him he was weighing 1250.  What is he weighing now?  Our Friction steer is at 1100 lbs. and the Shorty is 1025 lbs. both have tremendous hair and really starting to bloom.  PM me and I will give you my e-mail so we can communicate directly.

Charle4s,     I am sorry to hear about your heart attack, if there is anything you need help with do not hesitate to call me.  I appreciate the good luck wishes we will need it, the boys are really working hard to get ready.  Who has your light weight steer?

We also have a Brangus heifer we purchased from Stalwart Ranch, she is the neatest little gal and very feminine.  This is the direction my youngest son wants to redirect his herd.

We will be at the Jr. Heifer show with a May '07 Brangus on Saturday and a January '07 Maine-Anjou on Sunday.  We will be back for the steer show 10 days later.  Probably will leave with our tail tucked between our legs on both occasions, but it will be the boys first Major and a good learning...

Thanks to all for the support, related posts and personal messages it is easy to forget sometimes what we truly are trying to accomplish.

Oh the glory days!  I was a big fish in a little pond, both literally and figuratively.  I graduated in 1980 from a Class "A" school in Texas, 6' 7" basketball and baseball collegiate scholarship recipient, Area IX FFA Vice President, Lone Star Farmer Degree, Most Likely to succeed, the boy next...

Best wishes for a good outcome.  Tell her the truth, it will be hard on both of you but she will learn that is the best way to deal with difficult situations.

I did not know where to post this to address several current topics, so I decided to combine several: Frostback- Daughter's sick heifer Chambero- Kicked to the curb Sawboss- Unlucky Christmas Eve and many more heart felt situations. I will not pretend to be a great cattle raiser or expert on any...

Corrid is administered in their drinking water so it is best to treat all of them at one time to be safe.

More than likely it is Coccidiosis.  Get liquid Corrid and follow the directions for 5 day cure.  Once you have it on your place, you will probably always have it in the future.  We have had two steers and a heifer have it.  Blood is runny with mucous due to the slipping of membrane of intestine.

We were deer hunting, no kills but saw several deer, coyotes and big herd of hogs.  We did not let my son shoot on the evening hunt because I did not want to skin anything.  The fellowship was wonderful and I will be going back through there in late February or early March to take a second look...

We stay home and build a big fire outside of the barn for family and friends to enjoy.  Cook a big meal and pop fireworks, usually wind it up about 10:00 pm so everbody can avoid the traffic on amateur night.  For those of you that don't know what amateur night is, we call this New Years Eve. ...

Thanks to Steer Planet I have made a new friend in Chambero.  My youngest son and I traveled 275 miles and spent Friday afternoon and Saturday morning viewing cattle and mixing in a couple of hunts with Chambero and his family.  Wow, what wonderful people and great cattle!  I know there are many...

The heifer was on schedule, as she was bred in late June and really doing well.  The calf weighed 15-20 lbs. and was on target for it's stage of development.  There were no obvious defects in the calf.  Once the labor process started there was no turning back.
