God blessed us with a couple cool days and some rain and momma started staying with her baby more and he is looking a lot better.

We have lost several calves this year after mommas got them out of hiding. One died in birth with mom (birthed overnight and both dead in morning, obviously not after hiding) One was doing great and then the next day dead in the middle of a field. Now we have a 2 day old that is sooooo skinny...

This 30 acres is in north Texas, north of Gainesville. Our south Texas ranch is about 900acres south of Cotulla In LaSalle County

Here are a couple shots from this evening

Yes they are my first group of “Fancy” cattle. In the past we ran cattle at out south Texas ranch but it was strickly commercial brush cattle. This is a new little 30acre piece of property I bought in the last year. It was in pretty rough and raw condition I’ve been working diligently to get...

I don’t have recent pics of all of them but here are a couple. We are still expecting a few more. Mommas are Baldies bred back to Hereford.

Based on that photo I would say it’s rescue. I finally took a closeup and it’s a lot more like your rescue pic

I thought that was a possibility. But the seed pods are a lot shorter on our grass. It also looks a bit like western wheatgrass but also same issue. Also thought it might be Rescuegrass

Howdy all! Can y’all help identify this grass that is prevalent on our property up in North Texas?

Yeah I kinda want to get a Kioti but haven’t found the right one yet

Yeah that’s my fear. $20k for a 7 yr old 60hp cab tractor isn’t a bad deal, but I am nervous. I really was hoping to find a good Kioti or LS deal since they seem to be a great bang for buck and reliable from what I’ve heard. I have heard mixed things on Mahindra as well so I’m a little nervous

2013 with just under 1500 hrs Anyone have experience with these? Reliable? Costly to maintain? Pretty strong for size? AC system reliable? Thanks and God bless

I have been checking out the sale boards but most of the baldies I have found are still 3-4 hrs away. I was hoping to find some good gentle cows, preferably with calf or bred, within an hour or hour and half from property. My property is north of Gainesville, Tx

What about just leasing the land you need and buying as you grow and can afford it? Or buying the small one and look at diversification of land (as you grow look at land in different areas to circumvent drought/storm issues hitting you 100%
