Shorthorn Heifer Official Results Provided by, Coach Chris Cassady, Iowa State University 3-4-1-2 Cuts: 2-6-3 I placed the Shorthorn heifers 3-4-1-2. I think there’s a high-quality pair of females that need to sort up, who both bring forth a maternal, brood-cow look needed for longevity. Subtle differences sort the pair, and I like the added look and freshness in […]

Breeding Heifer Official Results Provided by, Coach John DeClerck, Texas Tech University 1-4-2-3 Cuts: 3-3-5 I ranked the breeding heifers 1423.

Specifically, from profile, 3’s stronger behind his shoulder, […]

Mark that Card: Market Hogs
Placing: 4-2-1-3 with cuts of 3-4-2 I’ll sort the market hogs 4-2-1-3 and in a challenging class, I’m still the most comfortable starting the 4 barrows extra width and product. The stout structured, heavy weight, blue barrow is the most opened up in his skeleton, he’s the boldest in his rib and this allows him […]
