Some of the old timers said it was ok the first time because they didn't take much stock in a heifer's calf. They usually kept a bull in the field year round. and let them breed when they bred. Heifers were to young, calf was going to be runty anyway so to them it was just a " get this first...

Best sweet corn I have raised is I plant 1 row of Silver Queen and 1 row of Golden Queen. It cross pollinates and makes bigger ears, also taste really good. The gold will stay gold but the silver will have silver and gold kernals.

What is the best age to let breed heifers. I am thinking around 15 months.

Yeah you are right there close to Baker County and Nassau. Know the area well. I pastor a church in Lake City.

Welcome. I am in North Florida - Branford/ Live Oak area.

I used a 1/2 Charolais 1/2 Brangus bull. Great bull over angus cows. All my calves grew well. I sold him last month. He was 6 and weighed 2300 lbs. Only reason I sold him is that I kept all of his heifers but 1 and will keep every heifer born out of him out of the next crop of calves. I replaced...

Sewell Farms in Chipley Florida has good Simmental/Simangus bulls. I bought a 3/4 Sim 1/4 bull to put over my Brangus/Char cows.

I have a Brangus Cow, about 5 years old with a swollen knee joint. She limps lightly on that leg. It is her front left leg. I have noticed that she has this come and go. Any ideas or suggestions?

What I like to do is find the calf usually on the second day after it is born and its mother has left and hid it. I put a band on the bull calves and put an ear tag. I don't have but 20 head so it is easy to keep up with who belongs to who.

I am in North Florida, gets really hot. I prefer angus cows to Brangus, I have both. The Angus tend to breed back sooner than the Brangus. Heat doesn't seem to bother them.

75% of my cows have ears. I keep every brindle heifer that is raised. I sold my bull last week at the auction (weighed 2285 pounds) and am going to pick up a Simmental Bull Tuesday to replace him with. Hope to get all black calved and less ear.

I am going to Chipley on Nov 7th to pick up a SimAngus bull to put on my cows.

Fireman W.E.T. farms in O'brien has some good Brangus Bulls. I am keeping all the heifers off of the bull I have in my picture so I am about to sell him. He is half Char and half Brangus. Both parents were registered. He turned 6 August. . Been breeding him over Angus and Brangus cows.

I sold 2 half brothers last week. One weighed 535 and was black with a white spot on his face, brought 245 a lb. The other was white with a black nose, weighed 615 brought 190. The white calf honestly was the nicer calf. The black calf brought $1310.75 and the white calf brought $1168.50. The...

I cleared 20 acres that was hay and then planted in pines. Rented and front end loader with a root rake after letting it set for a year. Use it to plant rye on but gras has pretty much taken it over. I used a off set harrow to take the stumps that were left out. They naturally rot after a couple...
