We have both the International Beef Cattle Registry and the International Dairy Cattle Registry. This year 2023 we are celebrating 10 years of service to the dairy and beef industries. The process of registering cattle, the information should be complete and accurate and not be just a piece of...

Had read where exercise is supposed to be good for helping the knees, but it didn't help. I was bone on bone. Knee was hurting terrible. Had a shot put in which was supposed to last 3 months. Saw an ad on TV for stem cell therapy for knees. They had a free consultation so went to check it...

If you liked your Charolais, then why not consider a Black Charolais?

It seems that many breeds are in trouble for finding pure genetics. The Shorthorn breed is over 370 years old, the breed has been used in the development of over 40 breeds (both dairy and beef). Finding 100% genetics today keeps getting more and more difficult as so many breeders have been...

With the 840 tags, there are many fairs that require animals to have an 840 tag in order to enter and show. We use the 840 tag numbers as registration numbers. Some still want us to assign a registration number and list the 840 number on the papers. (our papers have several more fields for...

The Gyr does originate from India. There are several different strains of Bos Indicus animals in India and many of them are are in such low numbers that some are fearing extinctions. This has happened because of so much western genetics being used on them in India. The are also a lot of Gyr...

What they try to pass as country music today isn't. Gone are the days when the artists and their bands were dressed nicely. I listen mostly to SiriusXM to Willie's RoadHouse, Prime Country and Outlaw Country. But, the problem is that if a new artist comes along that plays traditional country...

Circle A probably has the most experience in crossing Wagyu on Angus. In their findings they found that animals that are 25% Wagyu will finish in the feedlot as efficiently as any other animal. But the thing with the 25% Wagyu influence is that a higher percentage of animals will finish in the...

I had a 269 hayliner twine tie, loved it. Did have to rebuild the knotter assembly once and pulled the plunger and replaced all of the bearings. We always ran NH square balers. The worst one we ever had was a 68 that had the wooden wad board, don't know how many of those we replaced.

Thanks!

Is anyone else having ads show up between post titles. This is very annoying and I can't seem to get rid of them. To me it detracts from a website. I know that some of these ads if someone clicks thru on them there is a commission. I don't mid ads at the side, but to be on top of the...

I have seen several houses in the process of remodeling that back when they were built they have a lot of sawmill lumber. We have a local sawmill and we also have a local person that has a kiln that can dry it too. The prices are crazy and the quality of the lumber is terrible. Boards are...
