They are a great mix. In Fl at the actions we get lower prices always because of not enough water to much water or too bad a winter but ever since we started mixing are angus we have started to see higher prices at the sale barn and the cows have started to show up with bigger butts and thats...
You did ok
BULL 900
OPEN COW 500
BULL CALF 500
HEIFER CALF 500
2400 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE PAID UNLESS THEY WERE AWESOME AND YOU WOULD NOT OF SOLD THEM IF THEY WERE.
I think you did great cause you never know what your gonna get a the aution.
I also went with the WW system I spent alot of money and I hate to say it but it was worth it. I have solid sides on the alleys and plastic on the sweep and catch pens. I never have a problem with the cows in the squeeze with the palp cage but sometimes theres to much room for the calves. I know...
She looks good for your area. I have a neice and nephew in that area Bobby and Robyn Watson that have shown and done well at Lake County. Most of the people that tell you about weight have poored the feed to theres year round and as you know you will have to supplement here also to compete. Who...
The nice thing about a little lady like that is that you can breed her to any Funnel butt bull and still get good results. Finally a reason to own a good funnel butt. All kidding aside I would love to have 20 just like her. We have bread to get rears half that good and only come up with a 1/4...
I always love hearing the funny stories on this subject. I have in the past bought some really great cheap bulls and some really exspensive junk bulls. Here Central Fl we have every thing agaist us bad quailty of grass, heat, flies almost year round and to many markets to skrew up the prices. I...
I use Ivomec Plus in the Spring and Curatrim in late summer and it has worked for us. Our neighbors that are around us hear in Fl choose not to and you can tell the cattle that are on the program. Most of are pastures have flag ponds in them and with black hided cattle guess where the love to...
I took 6 steers Monday. I noticed the market was good now and mine were in good shape so I took the gamble and also went to a different auction. I did well from weights 500 to 590 I did about $108.00 a pound. If you wait the market can drop and with the extra weight you get less per pound. I say...
If your neighbors are not using the IGR it will not work for you. I live in Fl and tried it. I had no sucess but I have friends that swear by it only because the other ranches are using it to around them.
Dusty,
What do you guys do in Tx with the remains.
We also in Fl dump are remains at the edge of the property. It would get offly expensive to dig a hole or call someone to carry the dead ones away. Why not let the vultures do there work and yes I have seen them take a calf before.
I have 7 Limo Heifer calves to be shown.
They have names in there pedigree to Cookie Monster and Lodestar from 1 year to 6 months.

I went with the Big WW with Palp cage and in all I am very happy. I only changed after my father and I were almost run over when hepling our neighbors with wild crackers. You can get an old chute to work great but its alot of work.
You cant put a price on safety or good health. My father is 67 I...
