    20 good bred heifers for 2ok

    Are they registered gizmom? I'm not looking to buy anything right now but if you wouldn't mind sending me the price I'd appreciate it. Considering in the future adding angus cows in our herd to make ultrablacks and ultimately brangus.

    Starting a Small Cattle Operation HELP!

    ^ What he said we've learned pretty much all the lessons the hard way. If you live in round rock I'd be looking hard at mart and mexia for land. The properties are larger up there and if you hunt around you can get pretty close to paying $2000 an acre. It's where we're looking to expand when the...

    Hey y'all I've been posting on the boards for a while now. I wasn't really sure where to put this so I put it here in the beginners board. I'm in my mid twenties I have a pretty good income off the farm and no debt. It seems like every time I have some money set aside a new super cow is...

    Looking at getting into cattle... again..

    I'm still new myself I personally went commercial first and then switched to registered brangus. What part of Texas are you in? You have a lot more grass then I do so if you start with a set and retain the nice heifers you throw ever year you have room for growth.

    Livestock Trailer rentals

    They're just registered bred heifers that are pretty nice and not extremely expensive.

    Livestock Trailer rentals

    I have a 14 x 6 stock trailer and I would like to go pick up four bred heifers out of state in November of this year. I don't want to cram the heifers for the better part of a day in my stock trailer. Are there any places that y'all know about that rent trailers for a daily rate?

    PTZ Cow Camera

    Out of curiosity how much do those run for? Seems like it would be nice for checking what's going into heat and watch it for when something is about to calf.

    What to buy starting a herd

    I'm new to this as well I currently have 10 head. I started with two and have gradually increased my head count. I didn't have as much capital investment to put in as you do. Are you willing and or do you have the equipment to pick up heifers or cows? If not that severely limits what you will be...

    Brangus temperamant

    I haven't had any issues with her charging me she's just flighty around me if I get too close, I penned her easily I just poured cubes in a feed bunk in the pen and opened the gate and she was one of the first ones in the pen so I closed it off for less sorting of my other ones. I have two that...

    Brangus temperamant

    The AI guy I used last time wasn't available this time and I only have two that are open so I just figured taking them to the vet would be the easiest route, I always handle my stuff easily because to me cows are so big it doesn't matter if it's the tamest one if it get's going in the wrong...

    Brangus temperamant

    I'm sorry what exactly do you mean by that? I looked up Bos and it seems like it's just referencing to cows in general.

    Brangus temperamant

    Hey guys I bought a brangus heifer about a month ago that I posted a picture of her in the breeds board, and in terms of quality of animal she's the best that I have. I took her and one of my other open heifers to the veterinary hospital yesterday to get them AI'd. I called the vet today to see...

    What a day...

    I'm by no means an expert at backing up a trailer, but I find it much easier to do if you can line up straight to where you're trying to back up and just slowly making your way there, also try not to overcorrect the wheel because it doesn't work very well with the trailer in the back.

    Needing Direction

    I bought an 8 year old registered brangus cow that is bred to guardian for $2200 I'd say she's 1300-1400 pounds, full set of teeth and her udders look good, I'm fairly new to this and this is the oldest I've dealt with, everything else I have is a year to two years old. But at the 1500-2200...

    Minimum facility for AI

    I would at the very least setup a small pen so you could load them up if need be, if you hunt around enough you can find somewhere that boards your cows for the whole 10 day process while they get AI'd.

    Not trying to hi-jack your thread, when y'all are talking about buying older 3rd period cows, I'm guessing it's from the sale barn? What are those classified under the sale barn? Also what do y'all expect to pay for something decent?
