I have some bred cows that will weigh 1400 to 1500 lbs, I have heard that there are some salebarns that will sell them by the lb. Was wondering if anybody knew of any that did . They would need to be near SW Missouri. Could be nearby states if not over 200-300 miles. Thanks for any replies.

I have a cow that recently had a calf. She doesn't act like she is feeling very well and she is hardly eating if at all. I put her up in the barn and am feeding her hay. She has diarrhea, way too thin considering she is on hay. Between the not eating and the diarrhea, I am stumped. Thanks for...

I have recently purchased some Gelbvieh cattle and I have 16 weaned bull calves. Any suggestions on bull development would be appreciated. I feel like they are getting a little pot-bellied. What could cause this? Any suggestions on feed rations would also be helpful. Thanks

What is the earliest that you have sucessfully weaned calves in a drought situation? I weaned several last year when the pastures were getting short at about 5 months and a little older. They seemed to turn out OK. Any experience with weaning any earlier than 5 months?

My calves have all been wormed and vaccinated for about everything. However they are not shedding off there "winter coats" I guess you would call them. I've never had this much trouble in the past. They just have that brown shaggy look. I'm dying to see what they should look like, but for now...

I realize that the calves will get some benefit from the mother's milk when they are vaccinated. What did you use this Spring for the cows? I have most of my cows{small and larger calves} all in one field. I have been rotational grazing this year pretty hard. I plan on working them all at the...

Which Titanium product do you use on pregnant cattle? I was getting ready to order some and I can't seem to remember. Thanks

Read somewhere that some will show a tuff of hair, kind of stiff like. But I don't think that all of them are that way.

Will they be discounted at a feeder sale because buyers will know that they are freemartins?

Does anyone know how much either the hair or blood test is? Do you know where I could find out anymore information. I would like to know how expensive it is and how long it takes to get back the results. Thanks

How old do they need to be before they can be tested to see if they are a freemartin?

I went to a dairy replacement sale the other day and was amazed at the prices that replacement Springer heifers brought. They was a guy there that was buying a lot of the smaller heifers. There was no way for him to tell which ones were freemartins. They were too young for them to test. My...

I'm in sw missouri (just west of Springfield} Howdy neighbor. I run mostly Angus or Angus cross cattle.

Made that my wallpaper on my computer. Beautiful!!!

I have several head of heifers that I want to vaccinate for pinkeye this spring. Is it too early to do this or should I wait until the fly problem starts getting worse. I know weeds and other objects can cause problems with there eyes. I just didn't want to vaccinate too early. Thanks!!

I have heard different opinions on how much ground feed to give your bulls when you have them pulled away from the cows. Some people feed them to fatten them up and others say that they will hold there condition longer if you don't fatten them as much. What do you guys do?

Thinking about feeding several bottle calves this year. How did you come out $ wise. What do you think was your cost per calf up till weaning off of the bottle? Was that 80 all at once or scattered through out the year? Sorry I'm full of questions but I have not had a chance to talk to someone...

Do you remember where you read about that test that was done by the university in iowa? I would like to read it. Thanks!!

Also I took mine down Wed morning because I had some cull cows to sell that day and then some calves to sell through a special select vac sale the next day. The calves were down there a good 24 hours plus.

tell me more about "built in shrink for the buyers."
