Do you do strictly market steers? Or do you sell them as,,,how to put it..."lawn ornaments"? My mom has always wanted one as a lawn ornament :P Do they do well enough that you can run a small herd and make enough profit? Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean about not being able to afford steak, tho' down here it is usually because we have to spend it all on the A/C! :P

Sorry, but what are F-1s?

Thanks so much for the encouragement! As I like to tell my older co-workers "I'm just trying to hold on to my youthful exuberance for as long as possible!"

I don't think I have ever seen her crib. One of they bays used to crib, but they haven't been able to since we took down the cedar round pen. Another way horses crib is by biting down wide on wood, then sucking air. I knew it caused problems, but didn't know it effected weight. I'll be keeping...

Thanks right back ;-)

Congrats on your marriage! I hope God Blesses you with a long and happy one! (now, from what my mother says, you can FEEL like killing them at times, as long as you DON'T go through with it....)

This place already has an ag exemption, as at one time it was part of a larger property. Also, it is hemmed in by 2 large ranches, so the fencing is recent, and really well done. We are thinking of this as a starting place, our launch pad. Really, We want to make enough to help pay off the...

Never thought I'd blush reading a bulliten board...thanks :D

My family has 3 Arabian Mares. One is 15 yo, the other two are 14 y.o.s. The two bays 15 and one 14 y.o are both sleek, healthy and happy. Then there is Angy, a sickly looking thing with screaming ribs and hip bones. She was the result of a neglectful breeder who fed Angie's momma "calf lick" or...
