boy I tell you it didn't take long for this to head south - at the end of the day whoever writes the check has to be satisfied - I know the bull , have seen his calves and know what they brought at the sale barn - I'm sure he'd be hamburger meat to many . I'm not trying to put a halter on him...

didn't come here for validation, asking for opinions is just what it is - I agree the bull is off his weight but I don't think the picture shows a bull that's been living on dirt - appreciate the comments

That's a little much fella He's been on good grass, mineral, and good hay the last 3 years - the 65 cows calved in 10-12 calve groups throughout the year - he's been taken care of - he's got his working clothes on but is in good shape

I bought 919 from LSU's purebred Braford herd when he was 15 months old - I kept him about a year in which he bred around 12 head. I sold him to a good friend close by that used him the last 3 years on his xbred herd of about 65 cows...he's keeping a big group of heifers and I needed a bull so I...

new to the picture posting - this is the new pair and the red heifer that tried to nurse and claim the calf

knife cut everything on a farm I worked for - probably cut 300 calves throughout the year - spring and fall calves - never had any issues

Had a heifer calve yesterday evening - all went smooth. Had about a 70# heifer...only issue was another heifer (2years old & pregnant) started trying to nurse her and after that tried to claim the calf :bang: :bang: will the heifer grow out of this ? I don't want to sell her but prices are...

In southeast Louisiana - what is the common fertilizer breakdown for spring grass? I've read mixed info....some say don't fertilize in spring and if you do go light on N.

I have a set of xbred heifers that will calve this fall - bred to an Angus bull. I'm thinking of purchasing a Braford bull from a reputable farm - I know the bulls dam and sire (both are solid)....I won't "need" a bull until next April as I'm planning on rotating these 1st calf heifers into a...
