What does the poor coat indicate? Does it have anything to do with fescue?

Logical thinking right there! This summer, had a heifer kicking her first calf hard enough to knot the calf's jaw up. Had a good lump for a day or two. But two front teats were awfully big. Sure it was tender. And the back two were getting a lot of action. She bagged up big time, a week...

Let us see a picture?

I would think there should be...

Dang right. I'd like to see a recent picture of this guy. Massive. How old was he in the picture?

Turned ours out on 4/20 :mrgreen: . He was 14 months. Turned in to 15 cows and 9 heifers. All open. He's done pretty good as far as condition goes. Still growing, hasn't gone down much. Seems to be growing nicely still. Haven't seen much action with him lately. So maybe it took the...

Good advice. And thanks.

Have two heifers (one to go) that calved their first. Taking decent care of their calves. Both calved past 24 months of age with no assistance needed. I have a couple questions. One is holding condition very well. The other not as good, but not terrible. I've tried keeping her up to give...

Does an odd teat make them worth much less? So long as teat size is acceptable on the other 4?

Truly hope it gets better for you...

Congratulations Brother!

I'm not in the Midwest, but we do live in the mountain. This will be our LAST year of it! Holding him out until May/June.

Thats terrible. Hate to hear of the loss.

+1 for your boy

I should not have vented on here yesterday. Does nothing good at all and probably makes me seem like a baby. LOL. That's been my approach my whole life, Dun. I'm 30 years young now. His peace of mind is my peace of mind. He hasn't seen his calves but one time since they hit the...

Yeah. A family friend was attacked by his bull during an attempt to load him. Brought new bull to farm. Had old bull in pen. Ran the bull onto the trailer. As guy was shutting the gate the bull stuck his head in gap and opened the gate. Came out seeing red. Was heading him into the ground...

You guys/gals have any tips/advice to loading a full grown bull (1800-2000 lbs). Our loading facility/chute is wood and old and fragile. I figure once he gets going just push him on in and don't let him stop. We have no back-stops just a head gate. Not sure if he will go through the head...

Ouch! What's the defect if I can ask.

Thanks all. How would a 7 year old healthy Limo bull taste? Anyone been there n done that?

What do you do with a 7 year old bull? That's getting to the end of service use, correct? We have heifers ready to be turned out soon. Need to move their Sire out of here though. He has an ear tag dated 2009. I figure he's too old for anyone to want to use him. He does fine here but...
