I have not posted on cattle today for some time, but had to share an incident. A friend called me the other day, telling me about an problem he had with a cow. He was worming cows and using pore on wormer. He had done a few when one got stubborn and would not move after being wormed. So, he...

I have several stripes showing up in the Braunvieh x Hereford cross. Some are having calves now sired by red Gelbvieh. Looks like they will make good cows, don't seem to notice any stripes yet in the offspring.

Mr. Vic, those are some fine looking Herefords. Hard to knock animals like those. Thanks for sharing.

Snowball headed for hell.

When a man gets to were he can read a woman like a book, he is to old to start a library.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We had a heifer put up in about a 3 acre lot, to calf, along with some breeding age heifers and a bull. Went to feed them Saturday morning, and all came running to the troughs except this pregnant female. Saw her slowly approaching from behind the...

Have an F1 Black simbra cow. She was raised here and is about 9-10 yrs old. Always raises a top calf and calves within 10 months. She was from a PB black Sim cow sired by a V-8 brahman bull. Had several simbra cattle but sold most during the drought of 2011 or 2012. I had no complaints...

Try to get it soon. Picked him up Saturday and he immediately went to work. There was a injury in the loading process. Not to the bull but to the breeder. While closing the cut gate of the trailer, the bull kicked the gate. The cut gate hit the breeder square in the forehead, rolling him...

Thanks thommoos. These 2 bulls due share similar numbers. I'm glad to here of your success and sounds like you are proud of the calves. Hope to have some of the same success. With the beefmaster cows, you probably have not had any calving issues? Looking forward to picking him up this...

Not real sure on the frame score. I pick him up Saturday and will let you know. A guess would be maybe 5-6.

Thanks Greenjeans, I geehawed this afternoon. I pick the bull up next week. Maybe I can get a picture of him in a couple of weeks. His ultra sound weight was 1585lbs and he passed soundness exam at 95 at 20 months old.

I wanted opions on the bull, as I'm not real familiar with the breed personally. The bull looks stout,deep, well muscled, big footed, and eye appeal. He would be used on Hereford x Charolais cross, Hereford x Braunvieh, braunvieh and a few Brahma cross cows. The F-1's were raised on the farm...

I have been considering this bull 1280709, and would appreciate ya'lls thoughts. Will be using on herefordcross, Char cross, and a few braunvieh cows. All heifers have or will be bred by my heifer bull. So, heifers are not in the plan at this time. I usually sell at the barn, but may keep a...

It was a skunk that did that when I was a kid. We killed 13 skunks that year.

Mighty fine looking animals. What kind of pasture grass do your animals graze?
