    Feeding Silage to Heavy Bred Heifers

    We have two heifers that are set to calve in December, will feeding silage to the heifers during the third trimester make the calves grow substantially and should I stop feeding them?

    Bulls to pick apart!!!

    I have recently purchased 10 units of Ten X so I am going to give him a go next year. I only have 3 registered cows right now so I may be on Ten X for a couple years depending on the calves. There have been a few others that I like the looks of but it seems as though Ten X is the hot...

    Thank you bigfoot. I have actually gotten rid of the big bull and have decided to go to strictly AI. The number 6 calf I feel like is twice the bull as the big one.

    I don't know what to do!!!

    Every one of our cows get minerals daily as well as a grain ration. When she started hobbling on her front foot I talked to the vet and he said treat her for foot rot and so I did per his recommendation. Then she started showing signs of heat and when we were checking the fence found a calf...

    I had a cow abort.

    I had a seven year old cow who was due to calve in September. I noticed a few days ago that she had some discharge but didn't think a whole lot about it. Then the following day she was acting as though she was back in heat. While walking the fence line the next day I found some body parts of...

    Bulls to pick apart!!!

    The young bull was on his mama when we bought her. He was right around 2 months old at the time of sale. So we have had him for a while. We have not ventured out into the AI'ING yet because there is nobody in my area that does it enough to be efficient. I have considered going to AI school...

    Bulls to pick apart!!!

    I will see what I can do about getting a better picture of his legs. I don't really know why his tail is cut, the sale that I was at when I got him seemed to have every cow,calf, and bull clipped. It was my first registered cattle sale and I thought that maybe it was like that at all of them...

    You all don't have to worry about offending me. I am a law enforcement officer and have been for 6 years. If you don't have thick skin you don't make it, similar to this raising cattle gig. This is actually the first bull that I have ever purchased. I get a little less impressed with him...

    Thank you for the feedback. The more I have looked at,him in the pasture the more I see his flaws. I knew he lacked depth and azz. The black baldy is my dad's first calf heifer. And she has been pulled down a bit. She was also a bottle calf which didn't do her any favors. I like the looks...

    Bulls to pick apart!!!

    I have recently got myself into a small registered angus herd which I am trying to build upon. I am located in London, KY which is about 70 miles south of Lexington on I75. The first bull pictured was born in October 2014. He is a direct son of Conneally In Focus and his registration number...
