Finally getting good cross fences up and splitting my pastures down to 30-40 acre paddocks and waterlines dug so each pasture has its own clean water or shared one on a fenceline...I have definitely seen an improvement on my grass production with longer rest periods but in the process of...

What has been your best water for winter energy free…currently have 2 cobetts that have been working ok except for today when I wanted to move to a different place to feed for winter and the one cobett is frozen solid…have no experience with tire waters and haven’t seen many around my area…I...

Two year old home raised sim/angus cross liking the calves out of him gonna keep on using him

I’m open to syncing everything and doing one round of timed AI then turning the bulls out it doesn’t matter to me who the sire is just want to get as many bred as quick as possible

What is the biggest jump you’ve made with your calving season and how succesfull was it…my current calving season starts May 1 and goes for 60 days have calved for 2 years now in May and am not as big of a fan as I thought I would be so with that I plan on going back to March 15…I am currently...

We still do that

I’m about a hour and a half north of Clear Springs Cattle Company and really like their cattle and am trying to pick what I AI to from stuff that is closer to my area and they definitely have a good selection in my own opinion

My thoughts on just one bull is I can select the offspring that works in my environment and still have em be all half sibs so down the road my bull selection is easier instead of having multiple sires every year…whatever doesn’t work for replacements get loaded on the trailer and hauled to the...
