    A little dissatisfied with the sale barn today.

    I could care less either way as long as its fair...if its not I'm coming in to talk to the owner about it.

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    Too the Waco cowboy...you have never seen a week old calf of any size weigh 180 lbs. I'd offer the guy 250 or he can bottle feed it twice a day for a long time

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    Not for 400... He will not get that at sale. She may or may not take that calf. Good luck milking her if she's never had it done. Her bag will go down if you leave her alone. Calf does look alittle deformed in that leg...if her bag is strutted as u say and that calf is only a day old...look...

    I believe I'd load her up and haul her to the sale barn

    Vaccination for calves

    All the above advise is good sound advice and with prices as high as they are certainly take care of your investment. However, in 44 years of cattle I've Only given blackleg and occasionally pulls/shots for scours. I really believe people go way overboard vaccinating and messing with their...

    Jiggs grass ?

    Sorry I wasn't very clear. I just had mine sprigged very recently. My neighbor had his put in (just tops) last June. His did well. Mine, not so good so far. Thanks for replies! All I can do is wait alittle longer...that won't cost anymore. A miracle can happen!

    Year round calving or not?

    I'd rather have all calves at one time but my bull runs with my cows year round so it will spreadem out. In central Texas the weathers not too bad so it doesn't matter much. If u only have 16 cows you'll need a place to keep your bull away from them until breeding time and hope he's not too...

    Jiggs grass ?

    He overseeded them with oats and I haven't been over to see if it's poking through yet. But, yes, his did come on big time last year. That's the luckiest man I know. He got about 2 inches of rain the day after he disk it in and we hardly ever get that kinda rain all summer around here. It got...

    Jiggs grass ?

    I live north of Waco about 25 mile on the Brazos river. Good dirt for it for sure. The fellow next door is where the sprigs come from and yes...he cut his sprigs green about June last year and disc them in. Good field now too! Mine don't look to good. Taking obamas quote," I hope it will...

    Jiggs grass ?

    Yes sir...dug up locally about 10:30 in the morning and started planting them with a 2 row sprigging machine with a roller attached at 11:30. maybe I'm jumping the gun on this but I've planted many a seed in my life but no spriggs of grass. Either way, I'm afraid that this was a waist of money...

    Jiggs grass ?

    No where, can I find anything, about having coastal spriggs and it not working! Had a sandy Loam pasture (that used to be a great coastal field) sprigged in Jiggs Grass. Ground was and has had plenty of moisture for sprigging! Nothing!!! Everything else around including coastal is coming out...

    Breeding bull to daughters

    Let's all just put this another way. I just hauled a bull, 2 long bred cows, and 5 calves to the sale barn and got a Chk Wednesday for 12,700.00. Pretty good for a line breeding commercial cow man. I didn't hear anyone ask if they were registered...in fact some asked me what number mine were and...

    Angus New Design 878 Info

    It's hot here in Texas. 105 during the day and 80 at night. She is young, the calfs hungry,and she's prob hot too and not eating much. I'd stay with her if you like her. Get rid of that calf around 500 lbs and keep her another year for conditioning. If she look bad next year I'd sell her

    Breeding bull to daughters

    Been doing it for many years! If there are any genetic flaws you will see it and cull it at sale barn. If you retain the heifer (and it's what you want...meaning you really like your bull because you are double up on his genes) it can reproduce her (her daddy) likeness 75%. If its a bull calf...
