5 weight steers crossed the 2.00 a lb mark in some sales in South Dakota the last couple of days. Things are looking good in Tennessee too. Futures up over 10 dollars in three days. I think I'm gonna get rid of some calves I bought 40 days ago that I bought as ugly bulls and cut and...

I had a bred heifer in the alley by the head catch tonight. She tried to jump over the side when the cows in front of her weren't moving fast enough. She hung one of her front legs right above the hoof. It was stuck between a gate and a post on the hinge side. She wedged it to where she was...

Are any of you guys considering feeding calves to boost your farm income? I've noticed several guys at the sales I go to that I haven't seen buy a calf in the few years I've known them are buying calves to feed. Some are just buying little groups of hard light calves to try and upgrade, and...

Futures have been falling all week, I've seen cash prices down 10-25 cents from last week. I don't know if it's gonna get better but it's gotten bad. Good set of 845 lb black heifers brought .97 at a sale I was at yesterday. 450 lb heifers were in the 1.20s for the most part, 5 weights...

Bluegrass Stockyards of Lexington KY is on fire. Its about the biggest sale barn in the state and sells a pile of cattle.

I think I might have to retire from being a Vikings fan. That was a pretty big letdown.

We just had a cow go down and stay down for 9 days after it went through chute and got wormed before we turned her out. Came out of the chute acting dizzy and walked down the alley a ways before it hit the ground and didn't get up. Guessing we must have messed up a nerve in the chute. Gave it...

Sioux Falls Regional Livestock in SD had 724 lb steers, black and char x at 250.50 this week. Seem's like they are closing in on as high as they have ever been in a hurry. If the board goes over 2.30 the calves in the salebarn look like they could break records.

We have a three year old angus bull that we have had for two years. Didn't have any problems last year and the 22 cows he was with all calves within 41 days. He has been out with cows for a couple weeks now and for the first couple weeks he was fine. For the last few days he has been rough on...

Picked up this old girl bred 7 months the other day for 1100 at the sale barn. What kind of a crossbred do you think she is? She's kind of roany except for some black patches and she has a couple red spots on her as well.

I need some opinions on a bull. I don't have a picture of the bull right now. We have been in the cattle business for a long time but mostly dealt with feedlot cattle and when we got into cow/calf we didn't even use registered bulls. That being said we now have a couple registered bulls and I...

Had a heifer calve today. Got a nice baldy calf out of her but she pushed everything out. Had the vet out and he put a stitch in her but now she's struggling. She can barely stand but luckily the calf got some colostrum out of her. Fed the calf some colostrum too but I sold him to someone for...

We have almost entirely blue roan or black crossbred cows with a few reds. The calves this year are out of Registered angus or simm bulls. This is one of the calves out of the roans with some of the cows around him This is a little simm cross calf the day he was born

I bought some older pairs a couple days ago. 10 old cows with a few thin ones on them. Looked a touch wormey but I poured them already. They are black and baldy cows with 125-300 lb black and red calves. Pairs probably have an average weight of about 13 something per pair on the whole bunch...

I was just wondering what anyone would feed cattle recently purchased when they are unsure what they were eating before purchase. Obviously they need good hay but I've noticed a lot of people feed straight corn or other grain and it really can give some of them the shyts. Just looking for...

I thought it would be a good idea to say a prayer for the Browning family. Stacey Browning, owner of of Browning's Stockyard in Lafayette Tennessee passed away on Sunday night. He was known to be as good and honest as anybody in the cattle business. He was 44

I've been buying a few five weight black heifers for a team penning deal. Wondering what it would take to get some good #1 black heifers bought in other areas.
