the only brand we have now is Ritchie Waterers. We milked dairy cows up to 1995 and the waterers were installed two years before we quit. those waterers are still there today and are being used for show steers. being over 10 years old and still running great tells me there isnt another brand...

Hey i got to thinking and i started wondering if gomer bulls are still something that is used today and people still like using them. i also wondered if there is much demand for them like if someone got started in selling and renting out gomer bulls if u would be successsful at it. just some...

if u want a good cross do a charlais cow with an angus bull becuase calving will be SOO much easier even on a cow that has had a couple successful calvings. believe me. joe

A breed that i would not recommend getting involved with. joe

i no u can feed many different rations to beef cows but i want to know what you guys thinks works the best. like if i were to breed in june to roughly calve in March, tell me what u would feed them at certain times of the year. another question i have is how soon can u turn out replacement...

Hey, from people that have paid attention to my posts, they have learned that i go down and work on my neighbors shorthorn farm. well as i have said before he is very old, can barely walk and today him i and my dad sat down and it looks like within a month we will probably have that place...

Today i went down to my neighbors for chores and he told me he had a dead calf. now this calf was 5 days old, nursing and seemed fine. the only thing we can think of was that we tagged and gave a sellinium shot just the day before. do you think that had anything to do with it. this calving year...
