This is the stubborn mindset that will keep you from making progress. All 3 points are BS, honestly. Nobody has "enough" land - more cows per acre in a profitable operation is called "more profit" Some people have too many cows but generally because they don't move their cows regularly. You...

I have been to two of Greg's schools and his methods are the best plan for anyone in the cow-calf business starting out. I like him a lot and found him to have a generous nature and is really working because he likes helping people. Almost everybody should start here to learn or re-learn...

Why is the first one missing hair on her face?

All it takes is about 6 multi-millionaires that like cows. They can trade money back and forth for a while then sucker a mere millionaire to put his money into it. If you added up all of the money made and lost on AI bulls of any kind I would be surprised if the total is positive. Those two...

Sometimes you see them hauling butt unrolling in Greg's videos. Seems like it would have to come apart.

By that reference you now know the dam and sire are carriers. Bought or raised bull?

My problems with the Rubbermaid tanks appear to be self inflicted. Moving them at all is a risk to cracking. I just dont move them anymore.

Snorty cows are on deck for the cull list. One more offense and they get a ride. Even if she's 90% likely to never hurt me, that 10% can impact my life too much.

How do sell your AI calves?

My experience has been that red angus breeders are more likely to be concerned about real traits that effect producers and not just chasing numbers and carcass. If color isnt the premium, the game changes completely. If the pendulum swings the other way, I would bet the current red angus...

I'm on the same fence. We dropped off a cow and a steer to pack for direct sales. The cow including transport/pickup costs (90 minutes each way) ended up at $3.28/pound of product just for processing and looking at the cull cow price average at the sale barn, my total cost on 330 lb of...

I am not an expert on Bud Williams but it looks like that tub is the opposite of the Bud Box concept. I don't think Bud was a fan of direct pressure and crowding/squeeze.

Why would a Corriente have a lot less efficient gain? If they arent going to marble, there isnt a lot of energy used for that and their intake is processed into something - it doesnt just evaporate due to inefficiency. I can't imagine they are inherently inefficient if they can stay in shape in...

FYI: The effect of the artificial environment has as much effect as the genetics. Try this same animal on straight grass finishing.

It might be 50%+ black...
