I have been told by a PB breeder that you can pour apple cider vinegar on bulls when putting them together. Was told it reduces fighting greatly. Has anyone used it. Do you pour it over the whole body?

Finally ordered what maybe the last semen for 24. Ordered Jet Black and Connealy Armory for heifers. Will use mostly Jet Black. Will have a lot of replacements sired by Growth Fund sons. Stock Fund and a son we bought. Been told Jet Black crosses well on them. Have a few straws of Stock Fund...

Has anyone used Riomax? If you have what are you’re opinions on it. Have heard some positive comments about it.

I did a search and found one thread about it a few months ago. Has anyone used it yet? Have heard a lot of good results from several in this region. Most who have used it say it works. One who buys 600-800 a week say they have dropped death rate from 5% to 2%. I ordered a bottle and applicator...

Sold some more cows this week. 9-11 y/o’s. Good shape but not fat. Weaned calves over 30 days ago. Where we sell on Tuesday there is another sale owned by different owner on Monday. We took ours Monday evening and after dumping them off stopped at a convenience store. One of the cow buyers in...

For those who have used the dart guns to treat cattle. What type of gun do you prefer. What is your impression of them? Looking at buying one.

So far a son of Brown’s Double Decker maybe the best calf we have raised. The Stock Fund calves are good again. A little inconsistent in type and frame size. We got one Bloodline heifer that is good. Disappointing so far have been the Baldridge Drag Iron calves. Bone has been lighter than I...

The Hitch enterprise in the Oklahoma Panhandle sold out. A few years ago they had 3 large lots, over ten thousand acres of farm ground, ranch ground, cattle buying services and a large hog feeding operation. Sold the hog operation a few years ago. Was formed in the 1880’s. Understand some bad...

We sold 14 fall calves and 1 big yearling. Was very satisfied. Had a few late calves that were weaned at less than 5 months. The fall calves were 40 days weaned . Had been on the wheat that was burning up. The big yearling had an abscess in his flank area when we sold his mates off the cows. So...

We have fed Anipro and Rum a Lic for the last 4 years. Anipro was a good feed and our most cost efficient option. Built a trust with them. Their billing is delayed. They made the claim they use a bitter and could control consumption between .5-1.0 lb per head per day. And it was that way until...

If this isn’t allowed please delete. Wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the path of Ian. I know Gizmom and a few other members of this forum are in that general area. I hope everyone escape with no or minimal damage. We deal with fires here. Know the anxiety they cause...

We could possibly have one more AI sired calf and we will be done for this year. Last spring we tried AIing again. Our first attempt resulted in no calves. This year was better. We AIed all to Exar Stock Fund last spring as I didn’t have a tank and used what my AI tech had. We are very satisfied...
