Good source of protein and cheap, do it. One guy in Missouri bought a semi just to haul the feed off by the ton. I dont know if I would go to that extream, but more and more I hear about what a good deal it is for the Ranchers.

Agreed. If they has the option to the calf would continue to suck on the bottle untill it was literaly about to explode. Do not overfeed! Just like a dog with food, you put a bowl infront of him full of food bigger than his stomach and he will try to eat it all. Is there not recomended feed on...

I had the same problem with my pontiac, overdrive apparently is not ideal to run on all the time?! I trust the man who told me this though and who showed me the slivers of overdrive in my tranny, keep it in drive and fix it asap you mabey have 100 miles or so left of it I believe thats how long...

Not a bad idea at all especially if you have cold winters.. which last time I checked, well I never have checked do you have cold winters? I know it rains allot up there but yeah get some highland cattle they have horns and can fend for themselves, plus the coat they have helps them through cold...

I know for a fact you buy a dodge (none of my immediate family members nor I have one) and you will go through transmitions before you go through a engine I know of two guys in arizona and missouri who have never been happier. One guy has gone through three trannies but has not had a single...

Advice? Read, read read read all you can. Knowledge is accuracy accuracy is money. You cross breed for specific purposes, and then there are diffrent types of cross breeding. To be successful cattleman you need to take educated risks, know what you want to do, with 200 acres you could have a cow...

As a guy who works around longhorns and now is learning all about the beef buisness here is my answer. If you want money through beef prod dont go long horn they have lean meat, low cholesterol ect. Longhorn are good for dry and tuff areas (Longhorns originated in Spain I believe) most long...

True thats a nice set of nuts! Good maturity!

I would not be supprised if buyers dont want to talk infact that is how I am before I make a purchase Im thinking about the investment Im about to make. If buyers dont want to tell you what they see in the cattle up for bid its usually b/c they know soemthing that you don't, why would they want...

2 year old is under control, he no longer barks at the ladies.. or the bulls.. infact he is now too quite he stays at my heals, but other than that I believe I will keep him at home and train the little one from the get go. Thanks for the advice! :D

:clap: BEEEUTIFUL

No problems here In KC MO, although the cows dont like tha pasture grass anyway I've been told its sour? Well that will have to do untill we move more south or closer into Kansas.

Is there any secrect's you could tell me to teach my 4month old lab and 2 year old labrador retriever. As of right now I do not live on the ranch, so its usually 3 days a week Im there and the older one keeps barking at.. every animal. He likes to chase the heifers out of formation instead of...

Any time you move the bulls in from my experience since I am the chore man, they are always pissed at me, pissed at the world. You try living with 30 women of your own, being able to go anywhere you want then be put in solitary confinement with no women. I know Id be mad as hell. Just be nice...

Some of our calves as soon as they get the embryo off are already trying to get up and run around some are just lazy, just like people everyone is different. Congrats on the newborn. :D
