In general, is there much difference in quality between horned Herefords and genetically polled Herefords? If so, what are the major body conformation differences?

I saw a TV commercial for Kroger grocery stores and Nolan Ryan's All-Natural Beef and I was curious what breed of cattle he is using. Here is the website: nolanryanbeef.com The cattle I am curious about are the ones in the picture without Nolan Ryan. They look like they have some Brahman...

If a person had a lot of land and a cattle herd, will a cattle herd naturally split into two herds as the number of cattle in the herd increases? At what point will a cattle herd split into two herds? Or will the herd just stay one large herd? Does the number of bulls have an impact? I realize...

Can You Get Good Heterosis from a Crossbred Bull? Also, would you put that crossbred bull on purebred cows or crossbred cows?

Here is an ad from a guy looking for the use of grazing land in exchange for the use of his polled Hereford bull. He says there is just the bull and two heifers that will be grazing. This is near Waco. This seems like an easy way to get cows bred. A Hereford bull is also very versatile for...

I am curious about this. Which cattle breeds can easily give birth to large calves?

This ad seems fake to me. A registered year-old Brangus bull for $300? The bull in the picture also looks older than a year. They say if it is too good to be true it must not be true. https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/grd/d ... 00337.html

An Oregon woman found 14 cattle worms in her eye. It seems she lives around cattle and horses and the worms are transmitted by flies. She is the first person in the United States found to have cattle worms in an eye. Worms in your eye will creep you out...

Will a Simmental bull with two black genes produce good baldy calves? Will the Simmental bull X Hereford produce good black baldies? Will the Simmental bull X Charolais produce good yellow baldies? Also, what would be produced from the Simmental bull crossed with a Brahman cow?

More than 300 head of cattle were taken on Friday, Feb. 9, from an owner in Central Texas after 17 head were found dead. It states that another 30 head may have to be put down because they are in such poor condition. It states that most of the cattle are Texas longhorns. It is difficult to...

I was wondering which beef breeds produce enough milk to graft a second calf onto each cow. Are there any beef breeds that can easily raise two calves at the same time?

Cattle can be sold for more when they are a little older. I see yearling bulls selling pretty well and bred heifers sell for more. Does it make financial sense to not sell cattle as calves and keep them a little longer to sell as bulls and bred heifers? I am thinking the deciding factors are...

I was reading a market report from a livestock auction in Northern California. The report said recent rains had increased demand and drove up sales prices. They have had a dry spell for a while and I guess got rain recently. As an example, the prices for 600 to 650-pound steers was $135 to $171...

Happy New Year Everyone! What is the fastest growing breed cross? I understand that a cross breed will grow faster. If you could choose the breed of cow and breed of bull to have a calf that grew the fastest, what breeds would you choose for the cow and the bull?

I see on Craigslist that dairies often sell dairy calves and dairy crossed calves for little money. I see dairy bull calves for as little as $25 each. The dairy cross calves are usually more. I was curious. Has anyone used a nurse cow to put a few dairy or dairy cross calves on and then sold...

Maybe I am just becoming an old fart, but I was thinking about this lately. My father had a 1972 Chevrolet pickup and he drove it until the engine seized up at about 200,000 miles. I can remember even as a kid helping to change the oil, spark plugs, the alternator, the battery, U-joints...

I am planning to start a cattle herd and I am researching the best way to go about doing it. I have a few questions. If I have a group of cows and a bull, is it safe to keep putting the heifers into the herd and breeding the bull to his own daughters? Is it best to change out a bull? How long...

Hello, I just registered on Cattle Today, but I have been reading about cattle here for a while. I signed up to discuss an interesting idea that I saw on the Internet. I see a cattle breeder in New Mexico is selling cows that are Angus crossed with Texas Longhorn to get all-black or mostly...
