    Close to $2.00 killer bulls

    Losing 10% over 24 hours is very possible with a large fleshy animal with a rumen full of green grass. Unless he was penned alone those big bulls are in constant motion at the sale barn trying to establish themselves and/or trying to breed anything that will let them. I know its not...

    Feeding calves for weaning/ holding

    A lot of our sale barns don't have the pen space or the people to sort calves properly to sell in groups not to mention the fact that a lot of them come in on sale day while the packer cows are going through.

    Feeding calves for weaning/ holding

    That would be interesting Dave. On straight grass like that, they sure won't shrink much. I would bet 1.375 lbs per day gain.

    Aborting Calves

    Is she the only one in the herd that has these abortions? Is your herd vaccinated for Lepto?

    Feeding calves for weaning/ holding

    So you are not sure of your average daily gain? Growth genetics can come in all shapes and forms. I weaned, backgrounded and sold 14 calves in mid April and the top performer was from a sale barn cow of unknown breeding but appears to be a red angus jersey cross. Bred to my Limousin bull her...

    Duracor??

    Yes Rifle D is the same as Brash. The surfactant I use is nothing special, just a decent quality 80/20 non-ionic product from Winfield called Valcheck. It cost me $56.25 per 2 1/2 gallon jug. My sprayer holds 335 gallons so I use 3 quarts per load. Using the Brash and surfactant and...

    What have you done lately that made you question your intelligence?

    I was worried about a old cow. She should be bred but seemed to be back in heat a couple weeks ago. The bull was interested. I put her with some others to draw blood from to preg check them. This was Thursday. She had a nice heifer calf this afternoon.

    The “free” ones

    I really have no idea Jan, it was just mentioned by someone "smarter" than I. His name is Waldo and he is a laid back friendly fella. I gave him away once on the condition he could be brought...

    The “free” ones

    My dog died a few weeks back. I was going to go a while before I acquired another one but the good Lord decided differently and these three wondered up over three days time. Two mostly Catahoula females and one that looks like a Great Pyreenes/ Anatolian male cross. One of the Catahoulas has a...

    Irrigation water.

    Lakes Stillhouse Hollow & Belton for those of you that wonder what the heck he is talking about. Two lakes that are low for years at a time and are only get worse with the large influx of out of state'ers moving to the area. Good bass fishing in both though.

    Marijuana

    Pot is a wonderful drug for nauseousness for cancer patients on chemo.

    Yearling bulls

    GoWyo is right for our area as well. I saw one last week at West bring $1.78. Around 1100 lbs if I remember correctly

    We had hoped for two.

    Not questioning your wisdom but why would you not just leave the calf on the cow to raise and not let her get bred back? Or even if she did, she would just be short bred at weaning time.

    2024 Stocker Project!

    Put them on your grass and leave them alone until July or so and then see where you are at grass wise. 1 1/2 lbs per day is obtainable without anything else but I give mine feed about once a week to look them over and spray them for flys. Implant them and don't worry about the replacement...

    Red angus or red baldie heifers?

    Here is a nice set at a pretty good price. https://www.jjcattleco.com/catalog/5827?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3MBIsha8Ldf6aDomQrTr-nWyy6tziHVWRUJdEBGpyYNnNQVrDuoQM3tYE_aem_AdmZ4pKdNvj3rmI1GGPEItrnkosImQIa4lqGfS5X35ru9W5vjreCkvJCXLtl7Bw964EFY6s9gdWvQmMd5mnZGAQB

    Need working facility

    TNTrout, Drill stem is a catch all term for oil field pipe. Its usually 2 3/8 or 2 /7/8. Its almost always used pipe of various quality determined by how it was used. A lot of the pipe called drill stem was never used as as true drill stem. More often than not it was used to transport oil...

    Fertilizer with Grazon next

    One of the experts around here (mostly for turf) has always had a mantra, "never use weed and feed". "You will not get the desired results from either one." "Kill the weeds first, than fertilize a couple weeks later.
