I started a tradition with my wife during our first year of marriage. Every spring I fry up some morel mushrooms and grill a couple big juicy T-Bone steaks--From the steer we bought at the local Co Fair.  Washed down with some chilled wine and beer. Beer for me and I usually finish off the wine...

Here is one....Its easy and not homemade from scratch but Our family likes it even though it's made with chicken  ;). Cashew Chicken Casserole 1-chicken breast cooked in butter or pam and cut up into cubes---or if in a hurry just used canned white chicken meat drain the water. 1-can cream of...

CAB--how much GnRH do you use. dh

I live east of KC Missouri. The winter was hard this year for around here we fed more hay than have in years and years.  Ran out of hay and had to buy some which haven't done for at least 10 years or more. The cows ran pasture and were fed hay with free choice mineral and salt until april 20...

There is no doubt that getting a vet to surgically dehorn is your best bet. If you mess up you may take an average steer with horns that can be sold to show in the county fair to a steer that is sold at the local sale barn.  Could be quite a differnce. If not wanting to spend the money to...

I agree that most times cows don't show good heat signs during the middle (heat) of the day. But here it is still 65 to 70 degree highs and a rainy spring I've seen cattle come in and stand at all hours if its not to hot. Yes I normally would give another leut shot after 10-12 days but since...

Here is my situation. I got up 11 cows to AI.  Gave them all a shot of leutolyase 5cc's in he muscle. 3 came into standing heat Ai-ed all three and turned into seperate pasture for a week and now is with the clean up bull. Since none of the rest came into heat I can only assume they were not...

Not sure if its right but I thought my vet told me to qualify for the Show-me select hefier sale you need a 180 pelvic score.  My vet thought that 180 was about ideal this was on a  900 lb 20 month old.  According to this data if I'm reading correctly that seems kinda poor to average. dh

This is what I use and have always used may not be right according to the book. Sub-Q (under skin) 18 gauge 3/4 to 1 inch Intermuscular- (in muscle) 16 gauge 1 inch recently the only muscular shots I've given are letulolayse. Most all the rest go under the skin for Beef Quality assurance. If...

bred three so far to Muridale Buster, plan to use some sin city, and sinister Have a couple of left over Polar Express may end up using. Also have some Dr. Who just not quite ready to use it yet. dh

cut cattle, pigs, colts, only thing we band is sheep. dh

I've always been under the impression that stud semen does not respond well to freezing so its shipped fresh.  Stud semen also doesn't have as high of a sperm count per vol like a bull does. I know from AI'ing pigs that their semen is shipped fresh as well most of the time. Not sure this is...

I've fed vita-zine, vita-ferm, purina wind and rain, Cargill emerald, gold, bronze, fescue balancer and crystal-lix in the past.  I keep free choice loose salt in front of cattle year round. I  rotate my minerals to the time of  year. Right now High Mag minerals for grass tetney. I've always...

Been round lots of horses in my life.  This as stated above isn't that uncommon for a middle aged horse to sour. Anyway you can walk a horse down.  What I mean is that since he is broke and has been handled you can just start after him (not chasing) but when he goes that other way you just...

Dr. Who? would that make a good cross. JPJ-would downsize good luck don

good ideas Knabe....I try and stockpile forage fields every year for the early winter grazing.  Why not do it on Frosted Flakes. If kept in the cupboard should keep a while. Most food stuffs is going up still and wiith oil bumping $120 a barrel ahd the shipping cost rising its bound to go up...

Is this where we are heading?  I see where here in North America there are several experimantal plants up and running and under construction.  Wow...as if hay cost isn't high enough now I'm sure it will go up even more if this is our future. They can make ethanol from the corn stalks, wheat...
