Well we are going to try and find another heifer asap so if any one in our area has some we can look at please let me know. I usually dont leave them tied up like I did her I thought she had enough rope if anything happened I see I was wrong the thing everyone has said about having a knife there we keep one right there in the feed room but when I got there it was to late. Thanks for everyones condolences feel free to send info on calves that you have for sale. My daughter wants to start looking soon.
870-545-3343, JFR Angus, James & Billye Sue Roberts. 250-head Linebred Emulous bloodline Black Angus. Herd performs well, even on "Fescue and Rocks". Located in the Osage River Bottoms, surrounded by the ''foothills'' of the Boston Mountains ( the roughest, steepest part of the Ozark Highlands Region), just S of Green Forest, and NE of Huntsville, Arkansas. Hour and a half east of Fayetteville-Springdale, OR 45 minutes just south of Branson, Mo. However you look at it, it would be worth your trip from Oklahoma.
Never bred the 8-frame, skinny Giants (R&J Taurus, Harrison, etc), and stayed true to basic maternal function. when everyone in the Angus breed was breeding fir the showring, James was sending steers to CAB Feed-outs and verification trials ( Bull Gain Tests, etc). Had an 83% 'CAB' ACCEPTANCE RATE, WHILE KICKING BUTT ON CONVERSION AND GAIN. Currently, they are "working" bulls with all 8 DNA markers (per Genestar). They've only turned one bull out in the past two years with 7 stars ( he was minus one "tender''). Very acceptable phenotype, and, would be a good start  for a new "cow family'' at your place.

Very good, disciplined Breeder of Angus Cattle.

Sorry for the loss of your heifer, its always tough when you loose one, be it by birth, bloat, or any tragic event. I have had a few close calls but after my first I bought a set of bolt cutters, its a bit extreme but it slices threw them halters like butter.

You know what?  You just taught me a lesson.  This is our first year and I had NO idea that could happen.  We often tie our steer up high at lunch
and then my son goes out and lets him down after school.  NOBODY is around.  I am so sorry about your heifer...but thanks for waking me up! By the way
the only knife I own are the ones in the kitchen.  I will get one for the barn now too.  Our steer is a huge baby....but anything could spook him, you just
never know. THANK YOU !
