Thanks, I probably will pop in more often when I get the chance like today.

Not sure if anyone is still around from when I was on here frequently around 2014, but if anyone does I’m still kicking! I joined here when I was in middle/high school(I think I was 13) and I’m in my 3rd year of college now, got 3 more until I have a masters for a day job. I think most of what I...

here is a picture of the calf and heifer a day after he was born. Heifer is angus x f1, calf is 3/4 black angus.

I guess I should stop making posts about everything going good. Bull I bought in august hurt himself breeding a cow sometime since saturday, closest vet does not see large animals and the closest one that does can't see him until wednesday. Small animal vet went ahead and sold us medicine until...

Thanks!! I have been online, just not posting. I think I jinxed myself lol. Today that heifer finally calved and calf had to pulled. Big black bullcalf but wasn't a hard pull and it is alive and both are doing really well. I don't think the calf was 100+ lb but birthweight was more than I...

I have 5 heifers due soon and have been checking every afternoon. One bagged up fairly early and has been looking like it'll be any day for about a week. Two others were just beginning to bag up, weren't looking close. Today I checked the one who I thought would be calving any day now, but still...

Calf is a day old, and definitely has more white on him than either sister, including the full sister. 2 weeks ago at the sale I watched calves with white throats/bellies sell for a good price, I'm hoping next year will be the same. Prices have definitely dropped in the past few months here, I...

Thanks, I'm hoping I will see one or two this spring.

I am. I have 2 of the cow's daughters, one will calve this year. She has white on her also.

Yesterday the first calf was born of the season, very healthy, active and nursing. :banana: 4th calf, black bull calf with white on throat and belly like Momma. Mom is angus with a touch of shorthorn. 14-15 season weaning weights were down by at least 50 lbs. None of them hit over 600 lbs...

That sounds really good. I definitely will try to keep heifers out of him.

Thanks guys. I think this is the first beefmaster bull that has been in our pastures, but I'm certainly excited to get some calves out of him. From my last bull, black angus, my weaning weights were down of an average of about 50 lbs, but the bull was also a good heifer bull so that's probably...

Thanks!

Thanks! The guy I bought him from was George Rappold but I think he is kind of joint with his Dad/Grandad. I would have to look again when I'm home because I can't remember right now.

Just thought I would update this. I put an add up for my bull online and sold him in 3 days. :) I didn't end up buying any of the bulls posted, and I had just about decided to just buy a black brangus bull. I saw an add for registered beefmaster bulls, so I called the guy. He had a 17/18 month...

Thanks for advice! I let him be for the weekend and went to check on him today and he is putting much more weight on that foot and isn't limping much at all. Still a little stiff, but toes looked fine, were not splayed and I didn't see anything in between them or beneath them. I'm going to wait...

As always, very thankful for the advice. I have not bothered messing with him because it's been very hot for the past couple of days and didn't want to stress him anymore than I had to. I will update in a few days after I catch him and probably give medicine, hopefully when it's cooler. It was...

My cows are staying in the woods by the creeks during the hot part of the day, and I'm beginning to think a couple of the calves have been snake bitten. One heifer started limping on her hind leg at 3 months old, so I watched her close but eventually over a few weeks she acts just fine. Now I...

I usually keep the calves in the corral to wean them, but I'm currently using a nose piece with one of the calves and I really like it. Eats and drinks fine and neither the cow nor calf are stressed out. Hasn't been nursing at all, and the nose piece was pretty cheap at around $4-5 I think. I...

Thanks for posting those charts guys. I think you can probably find exceptions to any breed. I know the angus Bulls we've had average birth weights under 70. Thanks Waco. That makes me feel a lot better about the birthweights. I'm looking at others now to hopefully find a polled one. I will...
