Have you talked to the oil company?  Do your homework first and ask them your questions.  Have an outcome in mind and if/when they ask you what you want, tell them specifically; example - I would like the oil company to create a water supply line from their water to my property, and I would like...

This heifer has learned that by bolting she can get away.  And so, when she has had enough, she bolts and gets away and therefore is rewarded for bolting.  I am not sure a donkey will help this situation as the heifer is not afraid of you, she just knows she can get away.  Once she learns she...

The cause of his behavior might be in his pedigree.  Triple bred heatseeker and irish whiskey.  Too many bad "gew gew" genes together.  As others have suggested, this type of behavior is often worse than one that is always wild because without knowing what to expect and when to expect it, the...

I am looking into purchasing a drone to check fences, check cattle, scare the poo out of trespassers, etc..... Does anyone on here have experience with them?  (Ok, and to have fun with!!) I have found a few in the $350-500 range that have a real time camera that you can hook up to the computer...

The procedure is basically using a collar on the donkey and hooking up the calf with a 3 foot rope to the collar via a strong rope.  Turn them loose and let the donkey boss the calf around. I have never liked this method for the same reasons I have never liked using a tractor, atv or other...

I have heard too many stories to pay for anything on a promise.  I will give them the check, when I get the papers.  And while it might be considered harsh to some, I certainly will NEVER do repeat business with ANYONE who screws me over, so that neighbor would have never bought bulls for me...

No aj, the epd's do not correlate.  But, the red angus have gotten together with the simmi's and now have epd's that can directly compare the two breeds.  From what I understand they are looking at including several other breeds as well, but not the black angus. The breed associations were...

I have been searching high and low for red angus water color prints, black and white prints, or red angus photographs.  They need to be frame-able, but I have a frame. Does anyone know of where I might find any art print dealing with red cattle? Thank you

I highly doubt if the two associations ever merge.  The red angus already are working with the simmi's and a few other breeds.  The two associations seem to have different goals and projections of which are not mutually exclusive (meaning the two ideas probably would not get along well...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  I hope everyone has plans to be with their loved ones, and that the weather allows for safe travel. Here are my "I am things I am most thankful for": 1. Family 2. Friends 3. My Mayo Dr's 4. Our Military What are you most thankful for? 

Black angus has been there, done that many many years ago.  Several years ago, it was the big thing at "exotic" sales to have these defective calves/cows.  They would bring pretty decent money. Not sure if everyone knows this, but red angus derived from black angus in the 50's. So more than...

I do not know the Alberta company, but Bev Johnson makes stuffed steers/heifers (even customized if wanted) and also has mini grooming chutes.  Bev is from Iowa and makes great critters..... let me know if you want her number. I hate to give out numbers online!

A couple of questions for those of you that are the renter or the rentee: 1.  If you rent a farm (crop ground and pasture) does that include grain storage bins?  Machinary storage barns? 2.  If you rent cattle pasture, does it go from fence to fence or is it just the cleared open ground in that...

OxyClean, Woolite, and Dawn to name a few I have had luck with.

I am not sure it prohibits anything, but the seller of the animal is reserving the right to clone any and all animals from that "cell line", meaning (at least scientifically) that they can clone any offspring from that animal on down the line.  Example - You pay $10,000 for a heifer.  You work...

I was looking for a side by side on craigs list and had something similar happen. 2011 John Deere 4X4 with 96 hours for $2000.  I had nothing better to do so I played.  Advertised in Iowa, but was a Utah number.  The number listed was a text number and when I contacted it got the reply "Yes my...

I sent you a message.

I do not buy anything that I do not control or own 100%.  I do not care who it is.  Many friendships have been ruined by doing that and I value my friendships more. A VERY "famous" shorthorn breeder retains practically everything but the feeding rights on every female and bull they sell...

I am really trying to put some solid thoughts together on this.  Let me ponder and think a few things out and I will get back to you.

Am trying to get a feel for the cattle market in the country. 1. What are COMMERCIAL spring bred cattle bringing in your area? 2. What are Registered spring bred cattle bringing in your area? 3. What are COMMERCIAL replacement heifer calves bringing in your area? 4. What are registered...
