Ok, let me know if I am wrong, but when looking at shorthorn BW and CE you want: BW:  the lower the number even into the negative is better CE:  the bigger the number is better here I try very  hard not to use anything over BW 2.00--- even on cows if I am A.I. or choosing sires for flushes. ...

There was another thread on here this fall that had information about the ASA easing up on the Data requirements for the Durham Reds-- they are accepting Durham Reds for the special registry without Yearling Weight and TH testing now. You still need to provide BW and WW and the animal has to be...

the Gerts intrigue me because of their Shorthorn lineage-- do they do well in colder environments like Iowa? A Gert/Shorthorn cross could have potential. Emily

I have been in the habit the last 2 or 3 years of breeding heifers to Red Angus and then I have the potential to get some Durham Red eligible calves.  The Durham Reds I have been getting have been extraordinary-- cowy type females and steers that are feedlot sensations-- my son showed one 2...

Jody- How long is the wait for approval?  Are they pretty good to tell right away to go.  I also found some info today about the trees they are most interested in saving-- hickory, cottonwood, several types of oaks, silver maples, American elm. I have mostly "junk" trees in the fencelines and...

Ok, so my husband has been working on getting our farm plans updated at the NRCS office for next year and yesterday they pull out a new document informing farmers that US Fish and Wildlife Service has amended how to handle this endangered species in our area of Iowa.  This animal has been on the...

Sounds to me like his diet is still a little too "rich" if he is loose. If he was mine-- I would back him off the corn some and add Purina Receiving Chow or some other form of creep feed that has fiber.  this should help firm him up and then you can start adding a little more corn after he...

Can anyone give me any information on when they banned Fulvicin for use in food animals-- even the breeding animals. I tried to get some for ringworm today and one of the vets I use for meds would not sell it to me due to no use for cattle anymore. Any help is great or where you can still get...

Calves weaned and looking good! check us out! :)

Sullivan's have done a tremendous job of promoting their product over the last several years at the shows and now they have a demand for their supply.  I do not be-grudge anyone today to make money on their product- that is capitalism. Due to the fact that they have a huge demand and limited...

Most school lunch programs are subsidized or required to have their menu content approved by the USDA-- lots of schools get discounted USDA food to put in the cafeteria.  I am guessing it not that easy to just say one day-- no meat and still expect to meet USDA standards for school lunch...
