Why wouldn’t you breed for a perfect cow like I described? I raise Gelbvieh currently and Angus compliments Gelbvieh very well if I choose to cross them. In very few places you will find a lack of Angus cattle. Angus has there problems, but so does every other breed. Everyone starts somewhere...

Our pastures mainly consist of native grasses same with our hay. Our facilities aren’t the best but are fine to manage a cow calf operation. I plan to sell bulls and heifers that make the cut and the calves that don’t will be sold as feeder cattle at auction.

I am planning to add a few registered Angus females to start my registered herd. My question is what programs would you focus on to build off of? I am interested in Ohlde Cattle Company, Yon Family Farms, SAV, Sitz, and Connealy. I am wanting to develop an easy fleshing, good udder, good feet...

Has anyone bought or used Ohlde Cattle. I am thinking about adding a couple registered angus females from them. I have heard good things from their cattle.

I am curious to see what y’all think about creep feeding your calves. I can see it being beneficial in ways such as being in a drought period, getting calves preconditioned to feed, and helping cows that calves are dragging down. Is it economically worth it though is my question?

I am looking at building a corral over at a property we’ve been needing one for awhile. I am curious to what y’all think is the best low cost material to build with, other than wood. I’m thinking either panels with pipe at each connection, continuous panels, or pipe with cattle panels welded to...

He has arrived!

Will do.

I ended up purchasing a bull online from their auction. Every bull I saw that went through the ring looked good and if there was a problem with that bull they let you know right away.

I am curious to which calving season y’all like most and the pros and cons y’all have found? I am personally calving out in spring.

What are yall's experiences with raising commercial bulls? Would it be worth it to keep one or two of your best bull calves to raise for bulls? Is there any kind of market for them?

I'm located in Oklahoma, these heifers are balancers and are starting to calve now through April 15th. There are currently 11 and I'll be using a balancer bull. I also plan to pull these calves around the 5 month old range.

I'll have some first calf pairs this summer and my question is should I leave the bull longer than my desired 60 breeding season? I know heifers can sometimes cycle later than a mature cow would so I'm curious whether I should leave him for and extra 30 days to catch anything that cycled late...
