I am getting ready to buy a head gate. I have heard different people say they have had trouble with the automatic head gates not working right. We had a homemade gate, but it has seen its better days, since a guy down the road borrowed it from my dad ten years ago and didn't do well with the...

Right now I have 12 cows that I am running with a 4 year old bull. 8 of them are going to be calving in about 2 weeks. The other 4 got messed up and I had 4 late calves last year. The youngest is just now 6 months old and I am getting ready to wean him. I am pretty sure 2 are bred back to have...

I am cautious when it comes to letting my girls help me with the cattle. We only have 20 head and I have been right here with each one since the day they were born. We got our bull when he was 6 months old and he is like a big dog, he does get rowdy though and I don't let the girls in the lot...

The only dependable help I have on my farm our my girls, age 6 & 9. I seperated cows and heifers today and put my girls in the lot to run out the cows. Everything went smooth, I put the heifers in one lot and told my girls to run the rest out, no problems....... That's why I like herefords. :)

Play "dumb" and then let them have it!! I know about that. Most people that know me "respect " me because I can BS with the best of them. No one intimidates me, hell if you can't carry on a conversation and be friends, then who needs ya!Life's a joke, laugh at it! :P If not you'd cry all the...

Ok guys, hold on. This is a "blonde" talking. Everywhere I go I get the "look". I can walk in a cattle sale and get the , "Oh she don't know #@#@ "look". But put me in the ring with a pen hooker and see who comes out smiling. Of course I used to date a "trader" so you know all of the BS I have...

Seems you are getting alot of different breeds, but do you notice they always slide in the Herefords??. We may be last now but just seems we can't be forgotten!! HAHA :lol:

Please explain, went to web site ???????? Here's how my papers read, Polled hereford "SIRE" - PROGENY Number Averages Birth WT 24 101.4% Weaning WT 14...

From my experience, of course I am a "dumb blonde", a trader is the guy at the sale who wants to "help you out" and flashes you some cash to make you think he is doing you a favor. I went head to head with a "pen hooker" this year at the feeder sale. I had to take my steers in myself. Of course...

I have read info on EPDs and kinda(??)understand. Everything tells me what they are, but my simple question(HAHAHA)is what is the best numbers for each category??? Is it different for every breed?? My friend bought an Angus bull at a Perfromance sale in Ohio a couple of years ago. Everyone told...

To pick from the list, Brahman. But my write in is Hereford. ;-)

I helped a friend of mine out on his farm last year. He bought 10 charolais and put them with 15 cattle,( mostly angus) he already had. They wouldn't run together either. At calving time it was a pain, I was looking for cattle everywhere. When we would grain them they would all come, but then...

Polled hereford. :)

We are installing electric fence for the first time on our farm. We have a five strand barb wire fence now, but we are trying to keep the bull from the heifers.He rode the fence over a few months ago and we had to put him in the barn. Trying to keep him to get a few more heifers. Everything...

We have the polled. My dad started out with 5 registered over thirty years ago . He says he has the papers and I have been looking for them. All of the bulls he ever bought were registered but he never kept up with the papers. I have the papers from the 2 bulls we have now. He has raised all of...

Hello, I have lived on a farm with hereford cattle for over thirty years, but have just recently decided to give it a 100% of my time. We have always kept them because they were easy to handle and kept the farm clean. I know the basics, but would like to know more. I have just began keeping up...

Hello, I live about 20 miles from Charleston, WV. I just live on a small farm and my dad has never given his cattle anything but hay, salt, trace mineral salt, and mag blocks in the spring. We had 2 cows not to breed back this year and everyone is telling me to feed minerals??? I have just been...

Hello, I know the feeling about the black to hereford talk. We have raised pure breed herefords for thirty years.My dad has never kept up with the papers, he just always liked the cattle. I have just recently began to help him full time with the cattle. We only have 20 head, but I am planning on...

I am located in West Virginia. I have asked around but there are not many people close to where I live that have cattle. Just a few small farms. Most people just keep cattle to keep down the brush. We have always had cattle but never fed any type of minerals. Just salt, trace mineral blocks and...

Has anyone used the "Right Now Mineral"? I am raising Hereford cattle for beef and I am trying to decide which minerals would be best to use.
