Theoretically yes but at the same time it is also easier to put things into a pellet that have no value to them what so ever. Not digestible. there's nothing wrong with pelleted feeds but you need to know what is in them just like you would a textured feed. Bovine are in great nutrient using...

You can make almost anything into a pellet therefore making it very easy to use subpart ingredients. JMO

Reassure her that it is not her fault at all. It's just how some calves are and whether she knows it or not she'll most likely learn much more from this calf than other calves she'll have in the future. This one will be the one in 10-20 years that when you are reminiscing with each other...

One of the things that happens if he's backing away from you is that when a calf does that the next thing that is going on is that the person leading him/her is that it seems like the rope person is kinda running at the calf with the show stick waving back and forth in front of the calf making...

Does he usually pull back and away or forward and down and away? If forward and away, keep him by a fence close on his right hand side and if / when he is going to go, step in so that he has to run into the fence so that he doesn't have any place to go. Good luck !!

One of the perks of living in a sparsely populated part of the country!! <party>I am from SW Iowa live in the least populated county of the state and know quite a few people that have tested positive. Our 5 year old granddaughter tested positive in late April and her parents have no idea where...

Just out of curiosity beebe, where are you from?

JMO so take it with a grain of salt. If you want to sell your bull at a livestock exposition it looks like the Arizona National may your best option. You'll send quite a bit of money transporting your bull to some of the other locations. Too far from your home. I think your bull is a very good...

I have to ask, was there no warranty on the product? I would think that there would be a year or at least six months on the air conditioning components.

ABS announced this year that they would be going to 1/4ml straws but not in previous years.

Yes it is possible and if he is eating that amount of feed daily he should do it somewhat easily. If his feed conversion is 8 lbs of feed per pound of gain that would make him gain 3.75lbs per day X 30 = 112.5lbs of gain. I would not start changing anything at this point because IMO you'll have...

Jconner, you are right, I think you and Knabe are talking about two different things. I think what Knabe is suggesting or asking is why not dehorn them one way or another on day one? I've dehorned 100 plus calves over the years with a scissors, a tongue depressor, and a $10 bottle of dehorning...

Mark have you seen a video of this bull? I have to ask because he looks pretty straight rear legged to me in that picture anyway. I would be skeptical without seeing him move or know someone well that has seen him move. JMO

Very nice!! They're poppin now  <party> <beer> <rock>

Milking ability is only 20% hereditary. I don't know for sure what the percentages are for udder quality and teat size. Just guessing I would say more inheritable than milking ability. That is strictly a guess though.

Firewater probably not good for dispositions. Some of them have plenty of attitude!! I've had some good Bohannons and Diablos.
