I am from Texas. I'm looking to purchase several head of Angus Cattle. Where is the best location to purchase them? I didn't know if they were priced better in some areas as opposed to others. I know the sale of cattle the price, is relatively consistent but I didn't know on registered stock if...

We are going to get into showing steers next year with my oldest daughter. She is 10 and her sister is 6. We have 150 acres of pastures and barns. If you wanted to raise your own show animals, how would you start? What bre do would you start with and how to breed. I've got the ability to AI...

How long is that? Does it dry all through? Every time I turn it over it is wet still.

I feed about 400 bales of hay. Needless to say,, there is a lot of hay spread over the ground. About 8 inches. When I scraped the ground, I have quite a pile of hay manure and urine. You can't just spread it. What do you do with this hay?

They suck. I have gone through 5 in 3 years. I have mailed back in and they ship back. Now out of warranty and when it went out AGAIN, I bought a Gallagher.

How to post pic? I will show my tentative plan.

I have a Priefert squeeze shoot. Last two crazy cows to be sold tomorrow. It was trying to get me and Iwas standing on her head. Once in the shoot,i loaded her on the trailer. I usually work cows 3 to 7 at a time. I get them all in my driveway blocked by gates and work them 20 at a timeto...

My dad sometimes helps and my wife does too, but there are those times.My cows are pretty gentle, so that helps. There is a lot of walking, but I'm afraid this is just how it's going to be. When I do get some help, it will just be that much better. There has to be one man type systems.

Needing advise on corral layout. Will work 100 head of cattle by myself. Any suggestions or designs will be appreciated.

You might as well say, we are in April. Calve say in June. Six months is in December meaning, you're already buying hay. 600 lb Mark may be hard to achieve during that time. I you just looking to turn over, the sale when calves are 3 to 4 months and repeat. 6 cows hay will cost 900 to...

They have been getting in there and laying down. Somehow, the ring got pushed over a leg. First one was back leg, this one was front. They could not pull leg out so just laid there. Trying to figure out how to keep calves out of ring.

Had my second calf get hung up in hay . First one died the second one did not want to stand. I got it up standing by itself, and now eating feed. If it is walking, is it better to walk it around for a while or just let it stand. I was thinking blood flow would be better, but stress may hurt.

I had some hay being stored outside. It got rained on. I now have some room in the barn. Is there any problem with moving it in th it had time to dry.e barn now? It was outside several months so it had Time to dry.

On, so if protein is all that "could" be needed. Can get straight rice bran for $170 a ton. What about just supplement3 - 5 lbs of that.

Going to have about 22 heifers to ai in Feb. My goal is to steadily improve my new heifers, or to produce heavier steers to sell. Those not breed, will be placed back with low bw brangus bulls. Heifers are brangus and a few brangus baldies. Can mix and match breeds (Angus, Hereford , etc )...

It may sound like my ind is made up, but it bounces back and forth. Like in the evening,I was running late and was like, I wish some tubs were out. Then I look at a couple of my cows and say, they need a little feed Then there is the lack of knowledge about which way would be better for milk...

Manually feeding right now is not a big deal right now. Have to check the cows twice daily. It would be 6 5 gallon buckets twice daily. Feed they sell in LA is cracked corn, cotton seed hulls, distillers grain, salt for creep feed, no salt for bucket feed. 50 lbs of minerals. Cargill feed...

We cut our own hay each year. Like everything else, there are lots of decisions to make. We picked up several fields this year and could not afford to fertilize everything, every tiime. About 25% of our hay is fertilized. We have over 1000 bales, but around here, nothing is selling this...

It is not about saving hay this year, it is more about condition. I never seem to be able to put weight on them before winter. Wean them, and they start putting weight back on then winter hits. It just seems that cows with calves need more then just hay These are brangus cattle, so they do...

I have about 30 cows getting ready to valve. I also have about 12 cows which have already calved . Due to drought or whatever I am calving 2 months later then normal. I just do not want them to fall off. There are also 14 cows that I am going to wean. Just want everyone feeling good and...
