    EPDs - Just Out

    I hear about these $400. low maintenance type Corriente cows but so far real world data confirming such has been slow coming. Not sure that dog will hunt,

    Rocfarm> You can do better. < (Read that again and remember it) By your own numbers you are willing to settle for an 80% calf crop. Grow your herd from calves born in the 1st cycle of the calving period. Try to maintain at least 2 or 3 cow families which means as time goes by and a family...

    How big is a 500 lb calf?

    Won't work. Things weigh more down there on the bottom of the blue ball. Want proof? Just drop a marble in a bucket.

    Graining One

    Yes, when there were more than one or two at the table which is why I ask. Did butcher a cow, saved the ribeye, very good, and ground the rest. There were some elk, and a lot of deer salami, saved the steaks, I have had good meat from the farm and some that took a while to wade through...

    Graining One

    Did not look to see how many of you were eating on that animal but all things considered (they never are) wouldn't it make about as much sense to just buy the meat and bypass the road to Damascus? (or Twin Falls if the other upsets you)

    Do red hides get discounted?

    Your time is appreciated. Obviously the photos were taken earlier in the fall. I am sure it has been discussed ad infinitim (sp) on these pages but it is hard for me to grasp selling at such a light weight. [Unless of course it is a one and done venture with the cows and weight on the cow...

    Do red hides get discounted?

    Mr Allison's foopah aside I can but agree with Travlr. I do see a wave of Red and non black cattle coming across the south in the next 5-10 years. Perhaps more as a management issue due to heat tolerance more than marketing. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Do red hides get discounted?

    Seems like things are so until they ain't! I have some Red Angus / Corriente cross. Some of them are spotted. In the same cow family some are solid black, some are solid red. some are red and white spotted, some are black and white spotted. The bulls are from a nationally recognized Red...

    Do red hides get discounted?

    Nothing stays the same including the Tide of Opinion. I would guess CT Today to be the big kid on the block when it comes to cattle forums and general conversation.. It goes without saying there is a divergence of opinion on most topic with politics and cattle genetics (color especially)...
