This is what i've done in the past. higher protein after weaning, and even using this as a finishing ration, ending on straight WSC (free choice hay of course). Seems like it works pretty well. I have a yearling bulls I'm holding back to cover the herd this winter. I currently have then on about...

Also, will disk up easier if you carpet bomb it with roundup a month or so before disking.

Rainfall, comrade.

It’s surely gone to seed already right? If so, there’s no advantage to spraying the mature plants.

Fenceline weaning works for us. Calves don’t fight fences as bad when they see the cow occasionally. They only bawl for a couple days.

Follow up here. I used the zip bandit for the first time this year on 500 pound bulls. I’ll be using them again. Simple, clean and easy.

Also, as a side note. And maybe you know this, but it was helpful for me. To get cattle to walk down the alley, start at the chute and walk right next to the alley toward the tub, once you get past the cattle they will move forward. Works way better than standing behind them and pushing. Kinda...

I have a priefert tub. It’s a 180° sweep, and is open sided. We tried putting tarps up to close it in, and it didn’t really change the effectiveness. The biggest change was only putting 3 or so head in at a time. Our cattle are tame, and if we put in 5 head, they all just stand there. I think...

I personally had a heritage rough rider 22, about 15 years ago, and it was a serious piece of junk. I bought it new, and parts would literally come loose constantly. Now, they could be gems now days, I don’t know. I carry a ruger bearcat if I want a .22 and a bond arms 410/45 for snakes. I love...

Next up is an alley and some kind of tub? We got one a couple years back after my dad had his leg broken by a cow. After years of squeezing cattle between panels and fences by hand....I would never ever go back. So safe, so quiet, so much less yelling and wanting to kill your friends family and...

Looking for moderate size and easy fleshing, who wins, cap 028 or his son patriot. Anyone have experience with both? I have heifers from 028 born last fall and I like the, so far.

Jersey has good fat and marbling, but tiny steaks and the fat is kind of yellow colored, which some folks dislike! Angus is great! No experience with wagyu.

I was targeting about 12% protein up to about 1000 pounds, then went to 10, if I remember right. The last month or two straight corn is fine.

That’s great! I think the key to our business is more consumer direct sales. Keep it up!
