Hi everyone, How’s everyone dealing with the cold? We had our first “snowstorm” of the year here in nyc about an inch if that! 😂 I was wondering if anyone uses implants on new born calves(one month old) ? What experiences have you had? what brands have better response? I’m mostly wondering if...

New bulls delivered this morning after a long road trip. Registered Gray Brahman. 23 and 24 months old. Sons of Mr. H Pride of Maddox. 684/8. We’ll see what they produce in the fall. 🤞

Does anyone know if it exist? Can someone be kind enough to break it down for me layman’s terms how to calculate based on the coefficient % already available on the registry? Thanks in advance! Happy holidays!

one of our older cows had twins. Females 61 and 67 lbs. all three are doing great. 😊

Just to update everyone, family cattle farm is in northern Guatemala and it’s all monoculture throughout this month since it’s our rainy season I spread some arrowleaf, strawberry and crimson clover and it looks like it’s germinated, it took about 5-9 days. I didn’t add anything to the soil, I...

Hi everyone I hope everyone is doing well. As some of you may know we have a cow-calf operation in northern Guatemala. Our pastures are monoculture, brizantha, humidicola and cayman grasses. Cayman and humidicola we use because they are resistant to flooding. A few weeks ago I started watching...

I don’t know if it’s the right forum but Can a drone with a special type of camera determine the nutritional value of pastures??? A few weeks ago I had a representative who is trying to get me to buy their minerals sent someone to do an assessment free of charge to check the condition of the...

Has anyone had it in their herd?? What’s it look like??? The green circles on this one cow which looks somewhat healthy is where the parasites “supposedly” make or dig a “cave” these two cows died one in Friday and yesterday morning. They have plenty of grass even though we are doing intensive...

we had a calf that was born Sunday between 8pm-6am which was found dead Monday AM. This is the 2nd time it’s happened in 3 months. This morning around 10am a coyote was spotted at the edge of our ranch, which we assume was the same Coyote that ate the calf. We also had a dead calf that was...

I’m in the process of finishing up the rest of our minerals that we have in stock. We are switching from a brand called Rolf minerals which the mineral content is based on 2kg VS Balanz Mineral salts which the mineral content is based on 1kg. I’m basically doing this based on the fact that...

Hello everyone. Has anyone used the product above and if so do you still give your cattle vitamins and supplements through intramuscular injections or would this satisfy their needs. I was thinking of adding it to their water?? Btw I’m doing mob grazing so their water is replaced everyday.

Just wanted some estimated times how long do you leave it in for. It’s being used on Brahmans. 6hrs 12hrs 24 hrs??? Thank you

So this is our 4th and 5th one this year. I have a feeling the two bulls we had before were somehow related to the heifers and cows we have. I’m so annoyed. I also had another calf born a day later looks fine and all except she’s 56 lbs. my dad originally blamed it on the moon I said that’s an...

Has anyone ever used this device??does it work...

Hi Everyone I was introduced to two new kinds of grass that were suggested to try out on our farm. They are both hybrids One is called Mavuno grass which during the dry season produces around 14% protein and if it rains plenty between 17%-21%. The links are in English...

Hi everyone I want to give a big thank you! To everyone that gave feedback on how to get the cattle used to the temp poly wire and rotational grazing suggestions. The first pic shows 42 days rest period. And the other three pics show yesterday’s grazing, today’s grazing and the paddocks for the...

hi everyone, I’m trying to lower my cost because ever since January I’ve spent out the wazooo in either upgrades or things that are necessary for the cattle operation to move forward. As some of you know we are located in Guatemala I’m in NYC. Our pastures are divided with either barb wire and...

They are trampling a lot of grass. Here is what it looks like after being moved. I am reducing the area Everyday just a bit. Right now we are using about 1 hectare. This is after 24 hour period. I would like to eventually move them 2-4 times a day with in the same area or less. I posted Before...

I’m waiting on my hitensile wire to arrive so I can use it for my perimeter fence. My guys revived post and all the goodies that arrived to make a temp fence. Since I’m not there I told them give it a shot see if it works. The pasture they went into is 800ftX3000ft they reduced it to...
