    Daughters first project... please help pick calf

    Thanks so much for the input guys. This is exactly what I'm looking for. The Baldie seems to walk just fine. Not sure if there's some deformity I'm not picking up but as far as walking she's good. I'm located near Alvin Texas.

    Sale barn ?

    I don't like to sell anything at a sale barn if I can avoid it. I think that there are some insider shenanigans going on in many cases. A person selling cattle may be at that sale once or twice every seven or eight months. The order buyers are there every week. Who do you think he's going to...

    New Pasture in rough shape, where to get help?

    Thanks guys for the replys. I'm 40 miles from the gulf coast. I called the extension office. They are in between rangeland agents now but may be able to get a horticulturist (she's rangeland certified) to do a site visit. I'm hoping I don't have to disc and start over. If that's the case, does...

    New Pasture in rough shape, where to get help?

    So I run 47 head of Angus. I just started my operation a year ago and I've been paying a grazer to do most of the management so my forage knowledge is very limited.

    When to vaccinate and wean

    I have 9 calves that were born in November and December. I have 6 more coming in March and April. I'm hoping to sell the winter calves in June/July and I may keep the spring calves until I get another set of calves from the Winter calf momas. Anyway, when is the ideal time to wean and vaccinate...

    Hey guys, I'm new! Want to get y'all's opinion of my plan

    First of all, I'm so happy to see the wealth of info on this site. I wanted to get y'all's thoughts on the operation I've started. First let me say my goal is to be running 100-200 head when I retire in about 15 years. It'll keep me active and its always been a dream of mine. I'm hoping to...
