    Fully Automatic Opinion?

    I can't put a real hole in him from the pictures i've seen. really complete and just a good bull. he oughta add some bone and hair to something and that's a plus considering he's clean.

    College football picks. Winner gets 10 straws of Leveldale Mr Right.

    florida state 20 alabama 13 usc will falter at least once and alabama may too, but a one loss alabama will get in over a one loss usc. i don't really trust ej manuel but, he's got the defense and a running game and their o line should have gotten better since last year. just wait till ohio...

    Why more bone?

    I hope not to kill the momentum of this thread, but I just want to say that I am liking the way this thread is going. Constructive and intriguing.

    Why more bone?

    Studies have shown that the amount of bone accounts for less than a percent of the change in dressing percentage. anyways, bone adds to eye appeal and helps balance them up. it can be taken too far, a la some of the fit jobs of the lautner bulls from a couple years ago (they have toned it down...

    Best County Fairs

    It's been a couple years since I've watched the clark county fair (ohio) but there were cattle that won all winter that would get left standing there, and it wasn't because they were bad. there's money in that county. there's also some bad ones too though.

    Best way to re-fit legs

    foam works well if you haven't "maxed" them out already. if they don't have bunch of glue in the leg already,then it works fine but if you have a hard haired one that you already used a bunch of tail in, then you are better off breaking down and washing their legs on the way back from the show...

    how are the facilties at Grand Island

    my favorite thing was how the stall panels that you tie to are made with sections to screw side panels into them as well as fan hangers. it made set up a breeze, pun intended.

    Clones and breeding.......

    I think this is the greatest argument of all. how many full sibs are just as good as each other? why does a clone get judged if their calf isn't as good as the original? it's hard to get those genetics to line up right twice. that's when you know you have something special when they do.

    unstoppable

    I believe that's impulse. Bob Agle raised him. real correct and made well is how I saw him. he oughta be a good female and calving ease bull. lautner bought mega tron at obe if i'm not mistaken. he was stalled back in the opposite corner from impulse, under the stairs.

    The Ultimate Feed Lot Steer

    holstein steers are some of the most consistent for sure. that comes with the breeding though and the fact that just about all of them are related... it may be easier to guarantee profit feeding out dairy beef because they are so consistent but i don't know if the profit margin is as great as...

    what is your worst mating?

    calf is fine and runs around. he's straight fronted too and his "good" back leg isn't right either. it's a shame because he is a stout sucker. here's a picture. calf walks on the front hoof and it appears that there is another leg that is opposite facing to the main leg.

    what is your worst mating?

    really looked forward to one of the matings this year, and the cow decided to give the calf a little extra bone. so much that it has what looks like two sets of bones in the back leg that are fused together under the skin. it has 2 hooves on that leg as well. major bummer.

    MOJITO CALVES!!

    I-80

    i'm not sure where this post is going. there is no such thing as a throw away calf that is alive and well with feeder cattle selling for over 1.50 a pound. the most important quality in a cow is that she breeds and has a live calf. you can't sell a dead one and you can't sell a calf if the cow...

    Ohio Senator??

    kinda surprised he didn't go to denver. wonder why he didn't make it. had the chance to see him as a baby but a torrential downpour kinda stopped that. his sibs looked pretty cool though. i liked how consistent the set was and even a maternal sib bull to their mother was pretty good too.

    N-Charge / Flush?

    I think there were two bulls with the same name that year. also, n charge and tycoon were full brothers in blood but out of different cows. very similar breeding though.

    Team of Judges Better Than One Judge

    i think they do something like this at the maine jr nationals for the she's a lady futurity deal. at least as far as i understand from how someone tried to explain it to me. i've never seen it as it always is the same week as the shorties.

    Team of Judges Better Than One Judge

    that's interesting but i have a feeling that show would move at a snail's pace.
