Yes, mom has been AI'd to In Focus. Thanks for the input. Bob

I've got a bull calf that's looking real promising. I was looking at his mother this weekend and she's losing some weight. He's scheduled to be weaned in about 2 weeks. Should I go ahead and pen him up so the cow can put the weight back on? Many thanks! Bob

I run registered Angus. I tend to think buying private treaty is the way to go. Get to know the breeder. Spend some time with potential animals. You also don't have the frenzy of competition at an auction. Best bet is to buy young bred cows or 3 in 1. Figure anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000...

Done. May God watch over that little one and keep him safe. My thoughts and prayers for your family as well.

I've got two weanling Paints that need some guidance. I'm new to horses. To be honest, I'm a bit intimidated by them right now. I'd like to get a trainer to work with them for a month or so to lay the foundation, give them some manners etc. Anybody know someone in north TX? I'm close to...

Stainless Ruger 10-22 with fluted bull barrel, Leupold 3x9 and plastic stock. Cheap and fun to shoot!

I have two paint weanlings that I have kept penned for a couple of weeks to get them used to me. I'd like to turn them out in the pasture now. I was told that I need to lead them around the property before letting them out. I have 42 acres, so that's a pretty good hike times 2. Is this...

I'd like to put an automatic waterer in the middle of my pasture. I don't have electricity. Does anyone offer one that won't freeze up? Maybe a solar panel or something? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Bob

I'm putting up a small run-in using Horseman's Choice modular shelter system. The stalls have wood inserts for all 4 sides. Can I use pressure treated wood for this or are the chemicals in treated wood harmful? If that's not an acceptable material, what is the best choice? Many thanks!

We just got two paint weanlings. They are about 5 months old. The breeder has been feeding crimped oats, hay and a mineral block. Will this diet provide adequate nutrition for youngsters? Many thanks! Bob

I failed to mention I will be using AI on the cows. Thanks for the input.

I gave all of my cows a shot of Lutalyse Wednesday at 6:00 PM. When should I typically start seeing signs of heat? What are the most obvious signs that they are ready to breed? Many thanks! Bob

Are any of you gives giving a shot to put your cows in heat? We are planning to shoot ours this evening. Hopefully they will be ready to AI on Saturday. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bob

I'm planning to take my first shot at AI. I have been looking at a bull called MYTTY In Focus out of Florence, MT. Awesome numbers. Does anybody have any experience with this bull?AAA number is 13880818. Many thanks! Bob

Did anybody watch Robert Duval in Broken Trail on AMC? I thought it was great!

I have a 3 month old Angus bull calf that has learned how to get through 5 strand barb wire. I was thinking of running a length of 1/4 braid hot wire about 24" high on a solar charger to put an end to his wandering. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Have you looked at Priefert? They have basically anything you might need.

Cattle Max software can be used on a commercial herd. The American Angus Association also offers a sofware package, but as expected, it's intended to be used with a registered herd.

Could also have some Limo to get the red or black. The bottom line is if it's not an exceptional bull, it's going into the food chain. I just sent two yearling registered Angus bulls to auction this week. Unless they have some strong bloodlines, no need to keep them as bulls. I know I won't...

I'm thinking of getting a few quality Brangus heifers / young cows in the next few months. Any Brangus breeders in North Texas out there?
