I've read a considerable amount of agricultural literature over the past decades from many of our land grant institutions and have benefitted from their information. I attended Auburn University in the early to mid 1980's and I received a quality education. I was given the opportunities for a...

The reason for the move to Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention was twofold. One, the National Headquaters are located there, and two, Kansas City was no longer able to accomodate the delegates. FFA has changed over the years as has Ag Education. The changes were needed to keep programs...

"Funnel Butt" is a Space Cowboy term. Nice photos, Old Timer.

Hereford and Shorthorn.

I saw a documentary on Hawaii a couple of years back and there was a segment on the Parker Ranch. The documentary said the ranch was the fourth largest in the US. Seems that they were running Herefords.

I agree, S&S. If we clone plants or animals we are maintaining the status quo. Another problem is resistance to disease. As one agronomist explained to our forages class many year ago concerning coastal bermudagrass: it is a clone and it is sterile. Propogation occurs vegetatively and whether...

Nice calf, too.

Braford.

No, I don't think Doc can judge the bull's BW by phenotype because of the wrong camera angle and besides, he's got all those flies on him! 8)

That's the epitome of the word "BULL".

I guess this thread is officially hijacked, but if 3-way got his hand slapped and told that he can't respond to someone's post for making a sarcastic (albeit FUNNY remark), I don't know if this forum is a place I want to visit. Isn't free speech guaranteed in the Constitution of the United...

"Bambi-boy"? :shock:

Brangus. No-nonsense cattle, adapted to my climate and grass, hardy, easy keeping cattle, eat vegetation refused by some other cattle, and as Caustic said once about his tigerstripes, they brought me to the dance so I'll stick with them.

I like the American breeds (Brangus, Braford, Santa Gertrudis, Beefmaster), especially the individuals that exhibit a lot of Brahman traits like loose hide and pendulous ears.

Are these cows getting Geritol in their feed? Another nice old cow! Just on a side note, wouldn't it be nice if producers who give an old cow some "vacation" time would get some press. The media is all over the bad aspects of our industry, but cowmen and cowwomen who go the extra mile to see...

She looks an awful lot like a reg. Brangus that I own that is half her age! She is a fine looking animal!

Some of the highest quality calves I've seen came out of registered Braford cows bred to Charolais bulls. The calves were thick, fast growing, and structurally correct.

I wonder if the "hard keeper" gene could be spliced into the human genome? I'd take advantage of that!

How right you are. I stand corrected.

The only purebreed of any specie of livestock that outperforms any hybrid is the White Leghorn, according to Ensminger. The purebred White Leghorn has no equal in egg production.
