    sure champ?

    I have trouble with my cattle not eating the sure champ and sorting the pellets.  Anyone else?  Maybe I need to mix the Amaferm powder in the ration.  I have tried it and not seen the benefit.  What changes did you notice in 2-4 weeks?

    question about simmi cows milk

    Anyone that is familiar with dairy cows knows reddish milk immediately after calving is not uncommon.  Cottage cheese, clumpy is a problem.  That is mastitis.  The red usually goes away in a few days.  Dairy farmers see the milk, beef guys usually not.  Good luck.

    who is the best red angus bull

    How is Firestorm structurally?  He looks really straight in his rear wheels in his pictures.  Not bashing the bull at all, profiles real weel imo until the rear wheels.  Any thoughts from those that have seen him in person or the calves he throws?

    Charolais bulls on club calf cows to raise a smoke

    After all the input we ended up breeding the Golden Child x Mossy Oak cow to LT Bluegrass.  Here is her heifer calf about 17 hours old.  Weighed 90 lbs, up and nursing in less than 30 minutes.  Thinking Cornerview Xcalibre this year?  Not the best pic, but calf was pretty spunky this morning and...

    Great illustration to debunk "pink slime" fiasco

    A concern I have with the original photo is the ammunition it may give to our enemies.  Dealing with the media can be lose lose sometimes.

    Leasing programs for club calves - for kids

    One thing to spell out, discuss, and understand if the calf is housed at the kids place is what responsibility occurs in case of a death of the calf.  Can avoid an uncomfortable discussion later if not talked about ahead of time.

    Believe In Me Prospect Steer for Tulsa/KC- Undecided on showing or selling him

    He looks very good in my opinion.  Too good to sell, but letting the kids decide what they want to show and have fun it is worth a lot also.  Should be able to get good money for him.  MN deadline is Feb 15, weigh ins are sooner.  Too good for my checkbook probably.  Good luck with whatever you...
