For many years we had some buyers, that bought a lot of cattle in the area. They disappeared and I have been running them through the sale barn. Not a terrible option but I need to try something different.

Hello to everyone that reads this. Third generation Az rancher, run a small operation in northern Arizona, and I am looking for buyers for my calves. Changing world makes changing ways of doing business . Just looking for options. Thanks

Steer is not real crazy about letting you get the rope. Once you do he doesn't really get to crappy, just a little concerned if I take off the halter may not be able to catch him to put it back on.

I put the steer in a chute and put the halter on him, I left it on so he can just drag the rope around. This was yesterday (Sunday) just wondering how long before I tie him up and when should I take it off. I appreciate all of everyone's information and tips. Thank You

Hello I am new to this board and somewhat to this industry. Just bought 20 crossbred calves will put them on a pretty good 300 acre pasture. Was wondering what type of supplements or minerals would help these calves. Average weight is about 300lbs and are weaned.
