I have a full-blood (supposedly registered) Red Angus bull. He has a tag in his ear with a number and "Red Angus" printed on it. Does anyone with registered Red Angus that might know more about what the tag number might mean? Thanks.

There was a replacement sale yesterday at our local sale barn in Charlotte, Arkansas (Northeast Arkansas). I sold two cull cows. One was an old yellow brindle cow that was about 15 years old. She got long-toed last summer all of a sudden and was acting like she was having trouble getting...

I don't have any pictures right now, but I would like some thoughts. I have an Angus X Longhorn heifer that is less than a year old. She has been on pasture but being fed since she was weaned. She has been dewormed but is still losing weight/not gaining. Could it be hardware? What other...

Do you test your mature bulls yearly or just when you have a problem? I had a cow come up open. I checked her this week after all her herd mates had calved and she didn't look any closer. The bull has been running with a different group for four months. One cow in that group was bulling last...

I don't post often, but I thought I would post some recent calf pictures. I had 5 calves in the fall, out of a Saler bull and Saler cross cows. This spring, I have 6 calving, 4 done so far. I got pictures of three of them this evening. All are out of a Charolais bull. This first pair...

I am a completely commercial hobby farmer. I try to keep between 5 and 10 cows, and they are more for my own enjoyment. I like to buy calves and grow them out. I saw this little heifer on Craigslist, and I felt that she was at the right price. She is off the cow, never on the bottle. She is just...

Had a calf born Friday morning. Black bull calf. He is out a black, Longhorn cross heifer and a red Saler bull. He weighed about 50 pounds. (No exact weight, I just know he wasn't that heavy when I picked him up.) She was a younger heifer, but she seems to be doing a good job. I should only...

Here are some pics of a heifer I bought through the sale barn today. No idea what type of cows she is actually out of, but she sure looks like a Brahman to me. The black heifer is one my uncle bought while we were at the sale.

I am going to go ahead and put up some pics. They are off my phone, so they aren't the best, but I am going to eventually remember the camera and take some real pics. These are three of my breeding age heifers. The first two are out of a Shorthorn bull and 1/2 Gelbvieh, 1/2 Holstein cows. Their...

Does anyone use Salers? I have (3) 1/2 Shorthorn heifers and (1) Longhorn heifer. They all ran with a Red Angus bull and should calve between April and May. I lost access to this bull because his owners have increased the size of their herd and are not allowing outside breedings any longer. My...

I bought some calves Wednesday. I have been wanting to buy some calves to grow out for a while, so I finally did it. I bought 10 head, 8 heifers and 2 steers. 2 blacks, 3 yellows, 1 red, 2 BWF, 2 RWF. (4) are weighing about 250 and (6) are weighing about 350. As of this morning, no coughing...

I have an 8 year old QH gelding who is running on pasture right now. He has worn his hooves down pretty short, as in almost too short to shoe. Is it bacon grease or corn oil that you can put on their feed to increase hoof growth? I can't remember which.

:cboy: Well, I have been roaming the Horse Talk and Cattle boards and decided I would introduce myself. I am 21 years old and a college senior. I am doing a student internship in a local middle school and will graduate with my teaching license in May. I have always had horses and cattle and...

Does anyone on here have mules? Do you ride them? What kind of mules? Why do you like them? I have personally always had horses, but my grandfather has raised mules and I have considered buying a mule to trail ride and work cattle on. My dad has always been one of the "stubborn as a mule"...
