Wow, excellent idea! Very interesting website as well. I hadnt seen that one before. We have allot of nurseries here in the Lake County area and I've seen allot of these types of shade screens being used but never thought it would be something that would block out enough of the sunlight to...

I have two 5 acre pastures that only have a few small trees and with the weather here in central Florida, I need some recomendations for additional shade. I thought about planting some additional oak trees but that might take a while to get some decent shade even if I buy some medium sized...

:lol2: :lol2: I knew I didnt ask that right. :lol: But you know what I ment. These two bulls are registered Brangus and they weigh about 1000 -1200 I would guess. They seem plenty big enough for most of the heifers but I do have 1 older heifer and a cow that are pretty big. Be interesting...

I have 9 heifers and 1 cow and have acces to two bulls that are only 14 months old. Is that too young? At what age do you like to turn the bull out on a herd for the first time? Thanks

Welcome aboard! :welcome: We're neighbors....almost. :tiphat: Good luck with your new herd. You'll find allot of great people and excellent info on this forum. Look forward to seeing your pictures of the herd. Rich

Excellent post. I decided to fence off ten acres in the four board with two electric wires. I'm going to look at the Equifence as well. Sounds like that would be the ticket for what I'm looking for. May even do that on the balance as well depending on how it works and the cost. Didnt want to...

Who makes the best one for larger framed animals? There doesnt seem to be too many used ones around.

I would not pen him up. If you can get close enough maybe dip his cord in iodine. My vet will come out right before two months and give him a shot and thats about it. Glad to hear shes taking good care of him. Good luck. :cboy:

Beautiful cow! Congratulations and good luck. I bet she starts giving you 3 + per day just because of the extra attention. :cboy:

Yak or wolly mamoth? :lol: They did fill out nice from the first pics. What kind of feed did you finish them on? Did you have them in a small pen? I just bought a steer from the FFA kids at the fair and brought him home because the processor cant take him till June 2nd. He's 1180 now and the...

Allot of great information. Thanks for all the replies. A Watusi Brangus cross would be interesting I bet. Not something I want to try though. :lol: Steel would be nice but probably cost more than the property. I guess no matter what you do, the electric wire is the thing to do. The farm...

I've got about thirty acres to fence and cross fence and I run Brangus cattle and may have some horses. I wanted to do a four board horse fence but they dont seem to hold up too well with the cattle on the property I already have fenced. Any other suggestions for that look but something that...

You know its funny but at first the calf was only on one side and it did make her lop sided till he got on the others. She does have one very small teet though. Hopefully its not a problem. His sire is #449 out of Wilson Brangus Farm in Umatilla Florida. I dont have his papers right here in...

Thanks very much for all the kind words! :D She does have good maternal instincts. She's acting like a pro for her first calf. We're so happy that everything worked out great. We thank God for letting us have a good first experience. This little bulls daddy is a beautiful animal with great...

Well, our first Brangus heifer had her calf yesterday and it turned out to be a little bull that weighed about 65 pounds. My youngest son upon seeing the calf decided, against his older brothers wishes, to name him "Spiderman". I will say that I learned allot from this forum. Most every question...
