    9mos old bull still able to steer??

    Is this the same one as in the other post?  If not, off with his nuts too and best to just feed them out and never take them to town.  I am not a fan of BIM and his progeny are hard doing bad attitude crap.  I have a good Walks Alone cow, but made the mistake of keeping three BIM heifers from...

    Steer or keep as a bull?

    I would not keep any animal for breeding that is a descendant of Believe In Me.  They are terminal cattle.  Off with his nuts. <cowboy>

    Late term abortion in Beef Cattle

    Missing hair in several places might indicate it has been dead for a couple or several days.  My understanding is that the fetus will die from whatever cause (nitrate poisoning, pine needle consumption, birth defect, BVD, but mostly unexplained causes) and then the cow shells it out within a few...

    Flush Option for Angus Cow?

    Nyk - how big of BW and shape was your Blaster calf?  He looks to have some substance, but may be a little to high maintenance for our area.  Have a couple of Torque calves coming this year.  Cows not due for 2-3 weeks, so will not know for sure which of the 4 cows stuck to him for a few days yet.

    S & R Rountable

    Northern Improvement semen can be a little hard to come by or is fairly expensive when you find it.  Would use it once in a while if I had it.

    Feed is too dry.....what can I do?

    Get a 5 gallon pail of feed grade molasses and mix it 1 part molasses to 5 parts water and stir it well.  Then once you have your feed in the bucket and ready to feed, top dress the molasses water on it and stir the feed until it has the desired moisture level.  We use a mortar mixer on an...

    NAME THE BULL!

    Guy at the table has a ball cap as do some in the crowd, showman has a cowboy hat, and another fellow standing in front of the bull has a scotch cap with the fuzzy ball on top.  The other guy at the head of the bull has a driving cap, but he appears to be an outlier in the headware department. ...

    calf table

    Second the Johnson tables.  They have hold the calf well with less hardware getting in the way of cutting and branding.  A couple of guys can load them in the back of the pickup.

    Docilty scores

    Was helping friends video breds the other day.  There were a few Simmentals that when put in the picture pen by themselves were downright waspy.  Big ol' white eyes and snot and lots of fence climbing by them and us. They weren't bad in a herd though.

    Multimin 90 @ A.I.? Or @ start of synch

    My vet thinks Multi-Min is the biggest scam going.  Thinks they pee it out the next day.  Advises to just get them on a good loose mineral program and keep them on it.

    I-80 Steer Input on Feed/Fullness

    1. What keeps cattle full-looking at shows? He probably won't drink the water there.   #Get an RV water filter for filling water bucket to remove chlorine or other off flavors and smells in the water or haul water from home in jugs.  Start mixing in 1/3 of the ration as Ruma Fill or similar...

    Free Martin heifer-with penis in vulva?

    I have a freemartin that could use a little more "grow" that I will probably just feed out.  If I use an implant, should it be the one for heifers or for steers?

    Line breeding

    Wouldn't you get quite a few instances of monkey mouth and spastic paresis with Whiskey?  He has so many boogies in closet it seems you better be ready to have a lot of failures to get something good.
