I am selling a registered Angus heifer next weekend to an out-of-state buyer. First time I have sold a calf directly to an out-of-state buyer. Usually sell them to in-state buyers. I know in our state and to travel into the state she is going to we need a vet inspection certificate and a brand...

Never know where to post questions like this (under which category), but has anyone ever heard of Uppro Limited Livestock Equipment and their manual squeeze chute? Came across one yesterday and had never heard of them. I'm pretty sure they aren't made in the USA. Had some nice features for a...

Found an unopened 1-gallon bottle of Crossbow hiding in the back of the barn the other day. I'm guessing it could be 10 or 11 years old. Is the efficacy still good? I would hate to waste my time spraying and it didn't kill anything? Thanks.

If you were in the market for some very good quality, heavy-duty power/rechargeable battery hand tools like a drill, impact driver, cross-cut power saw, grinder, etc., what brand and models would you buy and why. Milwaukie? Dewalt? Craftsman? Makita? Bosch? Ridgid? Porter-Cable? Kobalt? Ryobi...

For those of you who have used the Angus bull MGR Treasure, I'd love to get some feedback on your experience and the type of calves you have had out of Treasure. What did you like? What did you not like? What type of cows/heifers did you use him on? What were you trying to do/improve in your...

I preface this post by admitting I've been out of the loop recently, but can someone please explain to me what is going on with Hoover No Doubt semen? I saw on a couple of online classifieds that his semen is listed for $2,250 to $3,300 PER STRAW ... and some of it was marked as sold. I don't...

Has anyone had experience dealing with Bull Barn Genetics (Nebraska), Cattle Visions (Missouri) or Universal Semen Sales (Montana) and be willing to share your feelings about them? I have never dealt with any of them but am considering ordering my semen for this year from one of those three...

I would love some feedback from those of you here on Cattle Today who have used the Genex Black Angus bull S A V Ten Speed 3022. Have you kept any of his heifers? How are they doing? What kind of cows are they turning into? I'm especially curious about feet issues, given Ten Speed is sired by...

Wasn't sure where to post this, but ... Does anyone have any thoughts and/or experiences using either the Gallagher W110 Entry Level Weigh System or the Tru-Test EziWeigh5i + their loadbars. Thinking about investing in a scale this spring and these are two options being considered. The loadbars...

For those Black Angus breeders out west, the Washington Angus Association is hosting its annual Evergreen Exclusive Angus Sale on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 12:30 p.m. PDT at the Grant County Fairgrounds in Moses Lake, WA. There are open heifers, bred heifers, commercial AI bred heifers and a few...

I'm curious if any of the Black Angus breeders out there -- or anyone else for that matter -- have used either K Bar D Joe Canada 18Y or Ponca Creek Pepper. I've considered using Joe Canada (available through Universal Semen Sales) for a couple of years. Have seen some of his calves and they...

Kind of a dumb question, but is it safe to use Ivermectin pour-on on bred cows and heifers? Some of my cows have had a lice outbreak the past week or so and was planning to use this. But I couldn't find anything on the packaging or label directions that said whether it was safe -- or not safe --...

Does anyone have one of the Behlen 6' x 10' V Bar Hay Feeders? If so, what do you think of it? Are they heavy duty and built to last? I have an opportunity to buy a "nearly new" one for about 65 percent of the cost of a new one. Thanks!

What would be a good pelvic measurement for a yearling heifer? For example, there is a sale here in Oregon this weekend with several yearling Black Angus heifers. These heifers were born from Dec. 17, 2013, to Feb. 23, 2014, and the pelvic measurements range from 168 to 224 (in centimeters, I'm...

Would love to get any feedback from folks who have used the following Genex bulls. These are bulls I have never used but am considering using and ordering semen for 2014 breeding. I have a small herd of mostly registered Black Angus. Calving ease, growth, maternal, docility and good carcass...

I wanted to see if some of you out there would share your thoughts on brands of squeeze chutes and which ones you would recommend or NOT recommend. I am in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and most of the chutes you can find for sale new or used are either Powder River, Priefert or, to a lesser...

Would anyone who has used "Connealy Right Answer 746" or "TC Aberdeen 759" please share their thoughts on the calves they got out of these bulls and whether you would use these bulls again. I am considering using these two bulls on my small registered herd of heifers later this spring when I...

We're new to using A.I. on our small beef herd. We A.I.'d a young Black Angus cow early Tuesday morning after she came into heat Monday afternoon. Late today (Wednesday around 5 or 6 p.m.) I noticed the cow was bleeding lightly. Does this mean she has missed or do we need to wait to see if she...
