I had it out today with some help who was putting out round bales and didn’t listen in regards to placing them where the cows couldn’t see. I didn’t want them to rush up and start eating the net wrap while it was still on the trailer. Next thing I know a water Buffalo has a huge mouthful of net...

My pastures are overgrazed and I’m getting ready to sell 3/4 of my cattle to help restore things and cull. I have a bull and cows 22 head. I was thinking of maybe selling them all and buying weaned calves in the spring and growing them out and selling them the next fall. I should be able to...

I bred my mixed angus (all polled black heifers) to a commercial polled angus bull. Good looking bull but I have calves growing horns. Got rid of him and got a registered angus bull. I have some calves I never got to Banding and some steers with little horns. Question is do you all...

I need a small corral but don’t have the time or help to do it myself. I want a 30x30 pen with a small catch pen leading to a 30foot alley. If made out of 2x6 boards and posts what do you all think a fair price for would be to have one built?

People who have already committed to this breed will likely defend the pros listed on most websites in regards to their efficiency. I find it quite funny they omitted the truth. Either way to each their own I just would hate to find that niche market of homesteaders looking for one or maybe...

It’s hard to find a bigger sucker then me. So I guess I’ll stick with the full sized angus I have. Thanks for the input :tiphat:

Do they have any value at the sale barn/beef buyers? Or are they like zebu cattle mostly for pets/showing?

Her jaw has looked a little loose but not persistently. I’ve seen goats with bottle jaw and she doesn’t look like that. I think either way she’s gotta go was just hoping to get a calf before then. I wormed the whole herd with the safeguard mineral wormer for a week. She ate it good I wonder...

This older cow I bought has always had really loose stool. I’ve had her a few months now and she isn’t getting any skinnier I think she’s just old. I don’t have a chute yet to even test her. She’s lost her horns due to banding and obviously she’s been stressed from the move. Do johnes cows have...

I bought an older cow who broke her horn during loading. Broke right at the skull pretty clean. Since getting her home she likes to stand with her head down and lays down with her head down. Is this due to the horn missing? Anyone ever see this?

They could be Corriente I don’t know. I just wanted to breed them and if I didn’t like them sell them quick. I have a reg angus bull I was going to expose them to right away. Here is a pic to give you an idea of what they look like. At 150.00 each I’m not sure I can go wrong. 188

I hear you. I tried to get one to buy property and the guy I had to go through barely spoke English. I dropped it about half way through from pure frustration not understanding this guy.

Someone in my area is selling three cows. Look like cracker cattle for under 500 for the 3. They look fine in the pics not skin and bones. I was gonna call him tomorrow and see why they are so cheap. I can’t help but think something is seriously wrong with them. What do you all think of the...

Just means you allow a pasture to really grow up or even fully mature and then let the cattle eat it when there is nothing left in the grazed pastures. This can get you through a winter or drought without feeding hay if your stocking rates are correct.

Salt is the limiting factor. More salt less they can consume since they’ll self regulate the salt.
