    Still alive

    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...

    Surprise

    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...

    First calf of the season

    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...

    Limping Calves

    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...

    Advice on bulls

    I saw an ad for beefmaster bulls and was wondering if anyone had any advice or opinions. I'm a little worried about their birthweights and calving ease because I emailed the owner and he said their birthweights weren't recorded. I looked at their EPDs, but I'm still not sure. Right now I just...

    First baby like clockwork

    Went out to check the cows and seen this fresh, new baby out of our new bull! This cow, on her third calf, has always had the first calf of the season like clockwork. It is a black heifer! I've been dying to see how this bull's calves will turn out and hoping they're as good as out last bull's...

    Experience with Rat-tail

    *Picture Heavy* I have been asked to post some newer pictures of my rat-tail, so I thought I would just make a thread showing my experience with my rat-tail bull calf and pictures as he has grown. This is the first rat-tail I have had experience with, so I thought I would share it and ask for...

    Got him up

    Well today I got that big bull calf that I have been trying to get up for about a month. :) He wouldn't come up as usual, so I went out and walked him up slowly. Took a while, but he was very calm. I will post pictures of him when I get home because I'm currently on my phone. :banana:

    Advice for getting calf up

    Anyone have any advice for getting a stubborn calf up? :roll: I have a bull calf I need to take to the sale but he just won't go in the corral. He is not skittish, very calm tempered and his momma is probably my gentlest cow so I can lead her anywhere easily with a handful of feed. I have my...

    Tail head/tail set

    Out of curiosity, I've wondering if anyone here has any examples on the correct way a tail head should set? And if there are pros/cons of having one that is high and one that is low, or is it just opinion? I've been trying to find information and examples but I haven't came across much yet, and...

    Herd Information

    Wasn't sure where to put this, but oh well. I'm re organizing our herd information and I was curious as to how everyone else here does it. What do you guys put on your individual cow information? I would like to put, age, color, calving date, etc(Sort of like a profile?) but I would have to...

    Sold the first calf of the season

    Sold the first calf of the season today :) 7 almost 8 months, weighed 685, brought $1.975 per lb. I would say I got a pretty nice check, even after commission. I have 8 more bull calves to sell, so I hope they stay up. Slaughter cows were bringing over $1k a head. Him a couple weeks ago. Momma...

    That one cow that hides her calves

    Anyone else have her? That one cow that always hides her calves and you can never find them? :mad: This is a first calf heifer. I was originally going to sell her, but I gave her to my grandfather as a Christmas present. She calved the same day as her sister but we could never find a calf...

    Some spring pictures

    Took some pictures while I was checking the calves today. 3 more have yet to calve. 2 are bagging up. 5 month old angus x brangus type moma bullcalf from my oldest, but probably best cow. So far he has grown like a weed, but I think he will have horns. Most of his mom's other calves have been...

    Some of the younger calves today

    Found most of the younger calves in a group and thought I would take a picture. :D All are from a black angus bull, and are mostly black. Black and white spotted heifer is a longhorn cross, but she should be polled. Her mom is polled and last year's calf was too, but she may be a wild card...
