Maybe I just don’t have the nerve or the patience. But the nitpicking on this website is absurd. I’ve lurked for years. And try to join in every so often but each time I read the posts and step back. There’s so much so many can learn but the air is wasted on hard feelings and personal attacks...

Show me your why we do it moments!

I’ll always be a beginner compared to some. But this made me smile tonight. We all have those images and moment.

I've decided to strip graze my stockpiled fescue this fall. Being my first time with the daily moves, I'm not very confident that I'm fully utilizing my stand. For those of you that have strip grazed what do you base your movements on? Being fall, is your goal to take it to the ground or leave...

Brute what brand lights were they selling? I've got a 2440 that I'd really like to do. Haven't called dealer but found the round fender lights for about $60 each on amazon. There is even a set of two for something like $75. Just not sure how much I trust them. In on this one for the info.

Good call fence. I see a lot of activity down there. Nice buck Caustic. I'd take one like that!

I'm getting geared up for muzzleloader season here in my great state. I bought a new ladder stand last week and I'm trying to decide on a location to put it. I've got a couple stands already out, but I'd like your opinions. My fences are marked with the white lines. Anything within them is...

Attached is a link of information published by the angus association. Hopefully it helps https://www.angus.org/AGI/Single-stepGe ... stions.pdf

Harvesting corn for variety trials. Have to admit I get a big kick out of it. Takes a lot of time, but the information is well worth it.

Just looking for opinions from those that have used them. Using American classic on older cows and a shorthorn cow to make some fancy heifers. Sub zero to use on some smaller heifers. Looking for calving ease. Any experience or pictures?

You're right about the epds. He was a different bull before July! Over all I'm happy with the calves. Average docility. They've been through the chute once with no issues in the chute in pen whatsoever. Unless the randomly develop an attitude in the next 6 months, I wish I had more. My...

I just have two angus valley calves on the ground. Just a month old, but have grown well.

Ps. I had no idea where to put this. Figured my cows ate grass. That's why it ended up here...

I love seeing everyone's pictures. The view out my backdoor is why I enjoy having cattle. What picture shows why you love what we do?

The article seems much more suited to inciting a riot than giving good advice. I'm a believer in EPDs, but also think they should be utilized in conjunction with all the other information provided. Epds shouldn't be the end all be all, visual appraisal shouldn't be the end all, but ignoring...

Boondocks, I think you're right. The amount people look at epds varies. It also varies breed to breed. For instance, it's hard to find a Shorthorn bull with decent epds to use AI. To the point it's frustrating. I can't promise, but I think at the Angus jr nationals they look at a calves epds...

I've not contacted my salesmen, but when I bought SAV Angus Valley last year he was a calving ease bull. Today he is below average for the breed. He's not a new bull by any means and only the epd calculation changed. Boot jack has a point. I don't mean this argumentative by any means, but this...

You make good points and I totally agree. There are a lot of bulls in stud catalogs that I would never consider using for one reason or another. He's one of them. The thing we all love about the industry ( the ability to make our own breeding decisions ) is also one of our biggest downfalls...

I understand the frustration with the show ring, but have a different opinion. First off, I will readily admit there are a lot of holes in this bulls epds. I wouldn't use him personally, but in all reality he is top 15percent in dollars weaned. A cow/calf producer might find this appealing...

I actually bought a Honda pioneer 500 last year. It's a smaller utv that fits nearly anywhere a 4wheeler will. Automatic or manual transmission (selectable) and can be had for less than 8k. It has a bench type seat and atv rack that I mounted a toolbox and drop down rack on. Biggest drawback is...
