    All AI for small herd?

    I have reduced my herd down to 5 cows(at my current place) since I sold my farm that was about an hour away and most of the cows that were there. I was curious of y’all think that I could breed these cows with synchronized AI or would just have to borrow a bull or still use a cleanup bull.

    Charolais or Simmental diluter gene?

    The last two photos are of the grandma of the calf. She was a Charolais cross with a feint white face and droopy fuzzy ears that I bought from the Sale Barn as a calf and kept for 12 plus years. The first two photos are of her daughter and grandson (the calf). Is this the Charolais dilution gene...

    I separated a few heifers off yesterday to wean off of their mommas. How long would y’all keep them separate from their mothers before putting them back with them? I was thinking 30 days.

    A scope for my 308

    I just bought a new Mossberg 308 bolt action patrol rifle. I would like to get a scope for it that is plain,simple, durable, and affordable. I don’t deer hunt much , but I mostly like seeing how far away that I can hit something. Please include the average cost in your answers. This is my rifle.

    Straightbreeding Angus

    I love Herefords,Beefmasters,and think about Charolais sometimes,but it is hard from a dollar and cents point of view to stray from straightbreeding Angus. Again for the third year in a row, my solid blacks bought .15 to .20 cents more a pound than the black brockles,baldies, and blaze faces. My...

    Electric fence?

    There are a few places near me that I might be interested in renting and putting cows on in the future. Their fences are either dilapidated beyond repair or nonexistent. How many strands of hotwire would you use for the perimeter fence. I am looking for the lowest cost option.

    commercial Charolais momma cows?

    I have noticed all my life the large numbers of commercial Charolais momma cows in cattle herds in the South Carolina Piedmont where I live. They do not outnumber the black cows, but they are probably second in numbers. The Charolais are not supposed to be a maternal breed. I see the Charolais...

    Cow with retained placenta?

    I have a cow that is 8 years old and had a retained placenta this summer after she calved. This cow has been a good cow and I am well below stocking rate and I cannot afford to buy or gamble on replacement heifers. If she bred back in a timely manner, would you consider keeping her for another year?

    I'm bored

    IMHO, there's only four breeds of cattle that are relevant and proven to me. Those four breeds are Hereford,Angus,Brahman, and Charolais. I might would add Shorthorn via Gerts or Beefmaster.
