I bought one on sale once. They said it had a leak. I took it home and my daughter spotted the leak pretty quick. I used NP-1. My roofer uses it to seal roof vents. Seems to have worked very well. Just make sure it's clean before applying it.

Thank you for the honest opinion. I was wondering if those shoulders should be a concern or if they might catch up later. After looking at several pictures of him I can't convince myself that those shoulders are thick enough. Sounds like you had the same concern about them so I'll probably...

I guess I thought I had made up my mind to just put out black calves but I've always noticed how Beefmasters seem to flesh out pretty well on just grass. I'm hoping to produce calves that'll finish out well on grass alone so kind of thinking about going with a beefmaster bull.

The one in the pic is a half brother. Here's a pic of his sire. Not sure if the zoom is right.

Ooops. Forgot the pic.

He's a 10 month old Beefmaster. I am considering getting a young Beefmaster bull. Let me know what y'all think.

I have done AI before. A couple cows didn't breed. The biggest problem with AI for me is that I'm self employed and don't always have the time to check cows once or twice per day. There have also been times when I caught a cow in heat but the AI guy wasn't available. It ends up taking...

I think I'm about 2.5 hours from Bryan. I may check into it.

He sold his bull last summer as it was also really hot and dry. He only has a handful of cows and needed to thin down. I wish he still had him.

I have a few quarter ears and a few brangus mixes of uncertain breeding. They all produce a decent calf each year so I've Kept Them around. So mostly quarter ears. They're currently bred to a red baldie bull. I sold my Ultra Black bull at the beginning of the drought in 2022 and my...

Don't beat me up to bad guys. I'm still a beginner on this forum and although I feel like I've learned a bit over the last 4 years of running a small herd I've always been the type to be open to suggestions and knowledge. I've decided that I want to purchase a young angus bull that will be...

Sounds like each has their own preference and if it works then there's nothing wrong with it. My favorites currently are the quarter ears. I also have a few angus or Brangus mutts that produce a decent calf every year. I don't do this for a living so I do enjoy developing my own herd. As...

I totally understand the addiction to raising your own line. I happened to see my cows today. Figured I'd snap a few pics. The cow closer to the camera is my favorite. The honed heifer is going on 2 yrs old and due to calve in April. I kept her little sister last year also but she...
