    Jr. Nationals in Kansas City

    The rains around kc have been very light and spotty.  Flooding in KC will NOT be a problem.  The forecast is mid 90's and humid. Let's face it the AR facilities and location are not that great. (I'll refrain from using stronger language.)  They should have partnered with the race track and...

    #1 issue in animal production right now?

    Extremism...in everything. My ways right...yours is wrong. No compromise...no middle ground. No discussion just yelling. Other issues: Negative attitudes towards financing education. Pseudo-science creeping into everthing...emotions guiding too many...

    Freezer Beef

    The meat trade was as high as $1.70/lb on choice carcass last week. Haven't seen the latest. If you are delivering te beef to the locker and you feel you have a top notch product you should be at least $.15/lb over market.. I had a school secretary say someone priced a side of beef for $2.10 a...

    Sale Barn Designs

    The one I liked was the BOHI facility here in Kansas.  They wasted a lot of money by not making it dual purpose but with some simple overhead doors would fix that.  They also built a seperate "show" barn that easily could have been incorporated into the sale facility.  I have no idea on the...

    True Grit

    For those who say they won't go because you can't remake it...your loss and very narrow minded in my opinion. It's a darn good movie.  While I like the Duke, Jeff Bridges does a great "Rueben" Cogburn.  This one is much closer to the book.  Someone said Bridges just played a drunk....uuuhhhh...

    Ag Sales CDE

    They key is to pick a product that is something that can be demonstrated.  You should explain how it operates and then...and this is key...let the judge do it.  Read the scoring rubric.  It clearly explains that you need to involve the "customer"...the judge. We have used Quest Horse dewormer...

    Since AJ isn't here to start it... KSU got SCREWED OVER!!! (NC)

    You mean as exciting as game as that was and you just scored a TD that could put you into overtime you wouldn't show just a little excitement???  A simple salute is over the top???  Not buying it...  To throw that flag at that point was in-excusable when no previous warnings or flags were given...

    Steer opinions please.

    37th out of 44!!!!  You must have had some good calves to pick from because he is a nice calf.  He would do well in many county fairs in Kansas...

    ~~~~Thoughts on this heifer?~~~~

    terminal looking = lacks femininity....long clean neck blending smoothly into the shoulders, longer head from poll to muzzle When the push came to the extreme depth and width we gave some of that up....also giving up some calving ease with those bold shoulders...You can tell this when they brag...

    Alfalfa hay

    You got it slowburn.... You could remove most of the protein from your grain feed and feed a flake or so of high quality alfalfa...but run the numbers first.  You can feed it to cows along with the coastal grass or other grass hays just a couple of flakes per cow...it can again replace what...

    opinions on steer

    I am assuming you are wanting to do this on the less-expensive side...that's okay...but you do need to improve the nutritional plane your calf is on.  Get some sort of scales...even a kitchen or bathroom scales.  Mark your bucket at different increments.  say at 8 pounds, 16 pound 20 pounds. ...

    National FFA Convention

    Not sure what you mean here but the convention will be in Indy for 3 more years.  A 7 year contract was signed and I believe we are in the fourth year.  It will then move to "Loua-vul" for 4 years then back to Indy for 4 years... good luck...keep your head up. This has been a strange year for...

    National FFA Convention

    I'm bringing a Food Science team!!!  Great CDE if you have never participated... What I'm pissed about is the American Royal has put the youth shows on the same weekend.  I honestly don't care about the AR anymore.  Crappy facilities, crappy location,....blow the thing up and move out to the...

    Distillers to show calves

    WOW... the ignorance shown on this website tends to boggle the mind! Calling DDG's, soybean meal, corn gluten, wheat midlings, beet pulp, and cotton seed hulls all inferior feed products is just unbelievable....but not surprising for I have seen people promote genetic defects and cheating in...

    Mineral Program

    If you have alot of red haired calves in your black cattle  (not genetically influenced) the nutrena "colored" feeds are the highest in copper that I can find.   It has been proven that low copper can cause the red cast to the hair.  We have been feeding it and have just about eliminated the...

    Oklahoma Youth Expo Breed Champion Carcass Results

    9,1,5,7,2,10,11,4,3,6,8 The prime goes top....the select with a high yield grade EASILY goes bottom.  Granted the past two months the choice/select spread has only been a couple of dollars.  Come grilling season it will wdien out. Bet they been holding the Maine steer for a couple of months.

    Wow, Taylor Swift n/c

    Many of you obviously do not know what "Entertainer of the Year" means....putting together a year's worth of top hits, having a successful tour, getting lots of radio play...Taylor was far above the other candidates in those catagories.  If you don't like her music then of course you will...

    When Did Cattle Start Getting So Expensive?

    I know of three people Bonham still owes money from LAST YEARS sales....yes believe it...thousands of dollars. Might write a check but it ain't for the full price bid. Bet he won't be back to these people's cattle this year.
