    Sale Prices@ smaller fairs

    I need to approach our county with this sort of "add-ons".  In our county, some communities support very well, and some (i.e. our town) do not.  After talking to some of the business people in town, I have come to the conclusion that they have no idea how the 4-H auction works.  They come out...

    Help with stiff pasterns

    We go to the fair with our steers on Monday.  We have one steer that has become very stiff in his rear pasterns.  The problem originated after a corrective hoof trimming in mid/late June.  Before and since then, he is tied in the barn on 8 inches of sand covered with 6 inches of wood shavings. ...

    what's your favorite summer beverage?

    After a long hot day, nothing hits the spot like an ice cold Summer Shandy from Lienies.  It is a wheat beer with natural lemonade flavor - just typing this is making me thirsty

    WARTS!!!

    Warts.  Where do they come from?  How can you stop them from showing up?  Is there anyway to safely get rid of them w/o calling the vet? Warts - I figgin' hate them!!!

    Songs from county fairs?

    kudos!!!  I don't know if this song is really tied to memories for me, or just gets me all warm and bubbly inside when I hear it.  Oh, by the way the girls in the office here are way sick of it ;)

    Dirt Track Racing (Not Cattle Related)

    If you like dirt, you aint lived until you've been to the Boone Supernationals!!!  But the most fun around here is a little banked (about 50%) figure 8 track on our fairgrounds.  The track is probably only 300 foot around the bottom and about 3 cars wide, but they reach speeds over 60 mph...

    Tips for keeping cool

    Absolutely on the water!!! Also, remember what type of clothing you are wearing.  Light colors especially on the cloudy days - then you can't really tell how much UV you are soaking up.  And avoid the synthetic fibers - a polyester or rayon shirt is just like wearing a plastic garbage bag, it...

    Feed Supplements for Hair

    We have used Show Bloom for the last 5 years and I stand by it's effect 100%  Now, understand that is not to say that it will add a ton of hair.  Rather, it makes the dilligent work you do on the hair and skin coat pay off at a much more consistant rate. Just remember - you get what you pay...

    FIREWATER VS. SHOW SHAKE

    Question: Has anyone used either and/or both of these products and can/will you make a case for one or the other. It appears to me that show shake would be much less expensive over the long haul with significantly less waste.  But, does it work as well? Or, is there another better product...

    Black cattle

    Lets all give a big thank you to them marketing geniuses with the certified angus beef group.  Here in the plant, all it takes to qualify to recieve an angus stamp is that the hide be at least 51% black.  You would think that that would open up for a multitude of cattle types to make the angus...

    How do you feed Hereford steers?

    HUH? Why would you HAVE to feed herefords differently?  Granted, genetically they possess the ability to fatten on grass.  But, this should not effect the ration fed to them.  Unless you are afraid of them putting on too much fat, then you would need to us a lower mega-cal ration.
