Make sure your low level county fair rules allow you to show a dairy cross steer.  I know there is a rule on the books at my county fair that says, "Only steers exhibiting beef breeding can be shown."  You may be able to get around that with a large framed holstein and a clubby bull, but you...

Congratulations on the new addition!  I've been there, done that with the whole NICU thing when my twins were born.  Not a great experience, but definitely one that I'll never forget, nor one that I want to experience again.  19 and 23 days in the NICU was an extremely trying experience.  2...

2 of the best posts I've read on here in a LONG time.  I've got to think that RED would be looking down and smiling on this today.

http://www.fairviewsalebarn.com/ Not from Illinois, but I googled Fairview Sale Barn, and this announcement is right there on the front of there website as well. These are the lines out of it that make me concerned for the near term.    Their value will not be near that of the going market for...

Pretty sure it is JF AMERICAN PRIDE 0987X, ASA# 2573743, as he has 448 progeny registered. I'm guessing the docility EPD, as his is a 0.8, which puts him in the 99th % for the breed. I have no experience with the bull or his calves.  Just trying to put some clarifications out there.

Have you not heard of sales such as Frozen Gold, Embryos on Snow, or Donors on Ice, along with many others? http://primetimeagrimarketing.com/Sales/13-14/FrozenGold.pdf I attached a link to the 2014 Frozen Gold Catalog that was held during the Ohio Beef Expo in March.  Just a quick look...

There used to be a guy named Freeman Fry of Galaxie Genetics in Hilliard that would collect bulls @ Chan Phillips' place in Maysville, KY once a week.  You haul them in and take them home same day.  Not sure if he is still doing it, or if he is even still in business, but it might be worth a...

We have the same rule, only immediate family members can groom, @ our county fair show.  All grooming takes place in the vicinity of the steer barn, so this rule is well policed by all of  the steer exhibitors.  That doesn't keep the pros out of the barn, but it doesn't let them touch any calves...

You've got to look on the Canadian Simmental Association to find him.  http://search.simmental.com/anisch.aspx

If you think the trader can add value to the sale of these calves, it's well worth it.  If not, then you have to evaluate it from a some different angles, such as: do you want to follow the calf and help clip/fit it every show weekend, or do you just want to be listed as the breeder of the...
