PM on both and location please.  Thank you.

In MN you have to earn a trip to the state fair and for early fairs, you need a backup pig for the state fair as our county fair is a terminal show.  Had a friends son earn a trip a few years ago with a commercial barrow, nothing fancy, but a productive animal.  His backup animal was the same...

A little more clarification for MN.  You can bring 1 animal for livestock encampment to the State fair and 1 general project for that encampment.  Also our high school sports activities for the most part are only during the school year so very few conflicts with the county fair though there are...

I did not know the young man at all but I do offer this to those of you that will see the family in the future.  I learned this from friends who lost their daughter at the same age as Chris a few years ago.  The mother told me that the most uncomfortable thing afterwards was when people would...

My first thought is coccidiosis also, so the corid would be the treatment.  Our calves had a few spots of blood in their stools this year also.  Had the vet culture it and they found roundworms, no cocci, so we wormed them again and it has cleared up.

Thanks for the input everyone!!

Sweet Baby Rays!!

I have a 3 yr old Golden Child heifer who had a 77# heifer calf last month out of a purebred angus bull.  In my opinion she is structurally sound, wide, thick, hairy, and has plenty of bone.  She lacks depth of rib, although she is long,  so she looks like a bratwurst.  What would you suggest I...

snag, I have access to sand, but have been hesitant to try it worried about rinsing it out of their hair and wrecking the clippers.  your thoughts?

Smurf, Be very careful.  Like the above posts stated, some dogs tolerate it w/o incident, others die.  I talked to a vet friend of mine and he asked if I did the conversion.  When I did, the appropriate dosage is something like .1 cc/80 #.  I gave a dog 1 cc once, he started getting better...

Holy Balls

I am a newbie so please this is just an honest question.  Isn't well water about 38 degrees, and this water would be about 33 at best.  Will it make that much of a difference?

Holstein no, but what about a Milking Shorthorn or a Brown Swiss?  Big enough to handle club calf breeding, don't milk enough to cause scours?  Not inbred like the holsteins so still have enough natural instincts in them?  Am I way off base?

Nice reply Jeff.  Remember folks, if everyone was honest, we would not need any rules.

What did everyone think of the show?  Good quality cattle imo.  First time for my kids at this show.  They showed well, cattle behave tremendously for their first time out, and the payouts were very generous considering where we placed.  Great experience.  Thank you to the people who put this on...

Thanks for all the referralls and info!  Greatly appreciated.

Anyone know of a hoof trimmer in SE MN?  We only have 6 head to trim.  Heard Steve Delzer is very good but hard to get.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input and assistance, will do a pelvic measurement before breeding.

I am the rookie of rookies in the cattle showing hobby.  My daughter has a Heatwave daughter out of an extrememly productive Sim/Angus dam.  Are we fooling ourselves to even try to breed her?  The person we bought her from whom I trust and respect greatly thought if a Heatwave daughter ever had...
