Thanks DLD. It looks like a pretty good product, just always used Honor Show Chow, but like you said, for that kind of savings it is worth a try!

Has anyone used Nutrena Show Edge Feed & Supplements? Always used Honor Show Chow, but Nutrena Show Edge is $6 Cheaper per Bag! Just curious if you have and what you thought of it. Thanks!

Yeah I talked to a friend the other day that was all excited, they bought some Holstein bottle bull calves the other day for $150 a piece on Craigslist, they were told that they were "prime locker beef calves" (whatever that means) and that they gave them a good deal since they were worth over...

Last 2 we have put in the freezer were both Shorthorn bulls. We slaughtered them at 18months old. They were separated from the main herd and fed grain the last 100 days. They have been some of the best, most tender beef! The only thing better was the SH heifer that we butchered at 20 months(she...

Thanks for the suggestion cfpinz!

Have the same thing. Driven many a wood post with it. Works Great! On ours, we learned that after you get the post started in the ground we have to angle the top of the pounder back a little bit to keep the post from driving crooked, but thats no big deal. Way easier then using a post hole...

Thanks Boot Jack Bulls - They both have great stride and form. The only thing that I don't like about #1 Johnny Cash is that he is completely tame and nice as can be, but once you put a halter on him and try to walk him, he locks up worse then a donkey and you cannot drag him around if you...

The metal structure is an old gas station awning. I was planing to put it on skids and use it as a portable Cover to move between pastures with the tractor.

This fall will start my sons first year in 4H, he is super excited and can't hardly wait! We only had 2 Bull Calves born this spring and we need to choose one to keep for his project and one to sell to help pay for all the expenses. I am looking for everyone's honest opinion and input. They are...

Cattle Visions is the best place to get Shorthorn Semen. SS & Genex both have a SH bull or two, but Cattle Visions has a huge selection and great service! Just like you I Love the Roan. The fun thing about SH is that you never know what you are going to get! If you want to make some great...

Being that it is National Ag Week, I just wanted to take a moment to Thank everyone on this forum! Most of you work day in and day out to support your families and provide quality food(beef) for others, with little or no thanks. I also want to thank you for all your input and support that you...

I have had great success with starting the show calves on Purina Precon 5 Creep Feed when just a couple weeks old. They will take to this like candy and it has helped them maintain/gain weight thru weaning. When they are weaned I just feed Honor Show Chow Fitters Edge and add Power Fuel vs depth...

We run a TAI program similar to Till-Hill. April 29th 6pm: CIDR & 2cc GNRH May 6th 6pm: Pull CIDR & 2cc Estromate May 9th 11am: TAI & 2cc GNRH Some people use this and wait for signs of standing heat before they AI. We run everything thru in a certain order and follow this order on breeding...

Prayers for little Gabriel and his parents (and grandparents too) coming from Oregon. We have had some scary things with our kids over the years and i know as a parent it can be soo hard to just sit back and wait. We serve a awesome God! He is in His hands.

Personally I do the following: Cows 4 Weeks Prior to Calving: Elite 9 / Covexin 8 / MultiMin 90 / Ivomec (alternate with "Longrange" every other year. Different active ingredients) Calves at Birth: Benefit from mothers Vaccination. I don't give anything additional. Always had good results! 3...

Thanks Tamarack! I will look into him. I was able to get my hands on some Saskvalley Stampede (half brother to Bonanza, Sire Ultra 12J) from Bowman Superior Genetics. Going to line breed my 3 Bonanza Daughters to him. I just love my bonanza daughters but only have 2 straws left :( I wish i...

Still looking for Bonanza Semen. If anyone knows of any or has any, I would love to get my hands on a few more straws. Message me, I am willing to pay!

When I find a new calf I go pick it up in the pasture and head for the barn. Mamma follows me and I put the calf right on the scale to get a weight and then put them in their own pen for a few days,to make sure everyone is doing good. But all my cows are super friendly, so not sure what to do in...

I'm with turklilley... Can't go wrong with wood posts and 4-strands of hi-tensil wire, every other wire hot. I put in 4-5in x 8ft treated pine at 12ft spacing, cheaper then 8ft HW t-posts. Did it myself with a post driver. Never had anyone get out unless the kids left the gate open.

I wish there was a camera pointed at my face when i looked and saw her giving birth in the pasture, I was in total shock and confused! Well @Black & Good and @TCRanch, there is still hope! If it happened to me it can happen to anyone!
