I have used this before, I have never purchased from them, but did give me an idea of what i needed if I did go through with it. http://www.gobobpipe.com/online-corral-builder-gobob-pipe.htm I have a portable Preifert tub, corral, chute setup. All open sided panels and all chain together. I...

Don't know about Climax offspring but when I saw him at stud he acted like if there was no fence between you he was going to call you lunch.  Maybe I caught him on a bad day but if heifers acted half as crappy as he did they would all be hamburger at my place, not replacements.

Sunseekers were consistantly the best at my place out of any cows I bred them too. Now all my cows I can tag a calf in the open with the cow beside me with no troubles so that helps tremendously. Had my turns out of the same cows and completely different story there a few of them complete train...

I have not seen a bad upgrade calf yet all of them I like and all the bulls at sales my eyes seem to go right to the upgrade bulls.  Genex has a blaze faced son called Allegiance that looks like he might even top upgrade. http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1SM00139&lang=EN...

I have some 1/2 to 3/4 blood simm steers and heifers that are green and in the pasture, no creep. Calves all out my my purbred and 3/4 blood simm bulls out of HC Hummer and Nichols legacy cows. The top calves cows go back to meyer and I have some out of my turn and sunseeker that look really...

My step dad put in some Corbett waterers and they had a valve on the bottom with a steel float. They worked great but i'm not sure what brand of floats they used. They only used ground heat and i only saw one freeze up about 1/4 inch on the one that the 2 horses were on and no wind break. They...

Just looking through the barns at our fair cattle numbers are much lower from 10 years ago, and dropped some from last. But with cattle numbers dropping over the last couple years and lowest since the 50's I would say a drop in numbers at the fair should be expected as well. I think next year is...

I like the richie valves but tough to find them around me anymore or it takes a day or 2 for me to get time to get somewhere that is open 8-5pm and im at work then. I have swapped to franklin valves just because theisens usually has them in stock and are open till 9pm....I still keep a few...

I just sold some late calves at 550 and 600 lbs and they averaged 1100 dollars at the sale barn, I have some decent calves this year but won't even think about breaking and weaning early for anything less than 2K. I think that's the trouble you will run into this year trying to find a calf at...

I have had some Blue Bloods (hanibal son) the past couple years. They have really made the greatest steers and heifers out of my high percentage simmys. I have one heifer i bred this year that looks like she might be the best Clubbie bred heifer I have kept. We will see how she raises a calf...

The one think is maint. Brine = rust and very quickly. So you are really going to have to keep up with the maint on the system like a salt water boat. Otherwise in a couple years you might be replacing everything due to corrosion. I have seen a couple older ice rink systems and they all look...

I have raised some decent my turns in the past but dispositions were not the best. Same cows bred to other bulls the dispositions were fine. I do have a couple my turn heifers I kept and they are making decent cows but are def. the first ones to run the other direction from you in the pasture...

excell file i built.....can print it off and use that when working and not worry about it getting covered in crap. Then when i'm done i can put it on my phone if i want to look in the off season.

Most of my cows are sim angus cows with not to many clubby bred cows in the heard. In the past I have gotten hit mainly on the really harry ones. This year the only calf I took a hit on was a super thick angus calf out a first calf sim heifer that had quite a bit of hair but lost his tail...

I'm located just south of Des Moines if your in the area. Most of my steers are black but I do have a smoke One and Only heifer and a Red and White Salty Dog steer. Also have a really good blue roan shorthorn cross steer. Bob Dyer 515-210-0527

I am south of Des Moines 12 miles and would show you mine if your in central IA anytime. I have some awesome steers this year out of Special Edition (monopoly son),  One and Only, Eyes on the Money, Blue Blood, Salty Dog. Run 70 head of cows and AI 20-30 every year. These calves are out of...

The main problem you will have right now is whoever buys him are taking a big risk that he will produce. Just because he has equipment does not mean he will produce.

I have had great luck with Tony Hilberts/Kyle Sages Special Edition bull (Monopoly x Maine/Angus). I have one this year out a WMW cow that's prob one of the best I have ever raised and honestly the WMW cow is nothing high powered to look at. Have had some the past 3 years that have all been good...

I have had some good steers. The heifers I have kept back are more impressive. They are big framed and look like they are going to make some good cows that I think will work with anything you put in them. Have 1 with a calf right now doing good and another due anytime.

Should have a couple coming in a couple weeks. Bred to Angus/Simmangus cows.
