Hey guys, I might be trying to keep things too basic, nutrition is not an easy topic for me. Long story short, when do you want to feed a higher protein feed vs a lower protein feed? Long story: Last year we fed a feed with approx. 13% protein to my daughters show steer (red angus) and a...

we are going to be weaning calves in a few weeks. we will back ground for 60ish days. we have 3 heifers (1 keeper), 1 bull calf (keeper), and 11 steer calves. im guessing they weigh 450 to 600#. we will split into 2 groups, light and heavy weights. We can feed a grain mix (made by the local...

This is going to be long sorry! Monday night I started feeding Corid to treat for Coccidia (our bull had lots of it). Was feeding 1200# bred cows (due any day and next month) 1# per head. Wednesday (last night) put out 2 bales of sedan, 1 hay, 1 milo stalks (our norm is 1 of each). This morning...

I know there are a lot of posts on this topic, and I have read a few, but I wanted to tell my situation and see what you all think of it. Sept 12 and 13th we went to a complete herd dispersal sale, the owner is well known in the red and black Angus show and especially in the junior associations...

Hey new here, a little back story; my hubby and I run a very small (15 head currently) red angus cross cow calf operation. We calve Feb and March. We have a very close relationship with our vet, he probably gets really tired of us sometimes, lol. currently our "original" herd is 9 years old, we...
