Years ago I worked for a retired school teacher that had him in her first grade class. She said he was the class clown and funniest kid in the school even at that age.

My experience over the years with Gerts is that the real payoff comes with the 2nd and/or 3rd cross. I've bred a lot of Gert cows to Hereford bulls resulting in weaned calves with just average market value. The advanage comes from retaining the best heifer calves and then crossing them to a...

And, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the Secret Service, Border Patrol, Customs, & Immigration.

When this is over, I would like to know where they were all taken.

Talk about the CAB getting ridiculous. Saw in the store the other day a can of Alpo dog food with an official looking seal on it which said 100% Angus Beef. I'm sure the old hounds out there can tell the difference. (didn't have phone with me to snap a pic).

Well said!!! :nod: :nod:

If I was to start a new herd in my small part of this world (the mid south area), I'm thinking I would want a cow herd of 1/4 Hereford X 1/4 Gert X 1/2 Red Gelbvieh then use a good Black Angus, Red Angus, or Charlois terminal sire depending on the market for black, red, or yellow calves. This...

My cousin told me his dad sold it about 10-12 yrs ago to some guy that wanted to restore it, but he thought the guy never did and parted it out and sold the rest for scrap.

I submitted the first pic. That was my grandfather's 1938 McCormick-Deering Farmall F14. The first tractor anyone in my family ever owned. He bought it new in 1938 for under $500. so I've been told. It was just one step up from a team of horses. It had about 15hp, hand brakes, no PTO, no...

The price the breeders are asking and the price the buyers are willing to pay are two different things. High quality bulls will always demand higher prices and lower quality bulls will always bring lower prices, and it has nothing to do with the cost of raising them. It's all about the...

Just like the C.A.B. All hype, promotion, and marketing. No real substance to the claims made.

I'm with you on that. Saw a bumper sticker the other day that read,"If we'd known grand kids were this much fun, we'd had them first". Pretty well sums it all up.

I am surprised the "Hollyood Powers" allowed this movie to see the light of day.

My choice for northern bermudagrass would be in this order: 1. Ozark - Most cold tolerent, Most production. 2. Tifton 44 or Midland 99 - About equal in cold tolerence. Tifton 44 may produce a little more. All are hybrids and have to be sprigged. Would not consider any others. Even if the...
