It appears to be a reputable breeder. They are listed on Brangus breeders.net and a have good looking website.

I am planning on going to look at a bull that I am interested in buying this week. The bull is registered and I am paying what I consider a premium price. This is my first experience buying a registered bull and I was wondering if there is anything in particular I should look for on the...

I've got a 4 yr old red angus momma cow that is losing weight. She was pulled down last year by a calf that I didn't wean until it was 13 months old. She gained a little weight back over the winter, but is really losing it now. I plan to separate her and her new calf and try to put some weight...

Sounds like my best bet is look for a purebred Hereford or consider AI. I really like the idea of a Hereford, because of the temperament. Right now I only have 6 brood cows with plans of growing to around 30 and selling calves. I have young kids that enjoy helping me (sometimes) so I wanted...

I'm fairly new at this and I only have a few Red Angus and Red Angus x Tarentaise cross. I am looking at buying a bull that is a Hereford x Galloway cross. Is it common to use a mixed breed bull for cross breeding or should I try and stay with a purebred? Thanks

Thank y'all for the advice. I'll definitely get up with the vet. Cross-7, thanks for the reference to the publication. It was clear enough even for me to understand. Most of these type of publications give a recommendation at 3 months and then another one at pre-weaning. Since I missed the 3...

I've got a 6 month old bull calf and a 3 month old heifer calf that I have never given a vaccination or dewormer. I'm planning on working my cows next month and was hoping somebody could give me a recommendation on what vaccinations I should use. I've researched a little on the internet, but...

You don't need to worry much about the busy looking stuff on the top of the report, the important part is on the bottom. It tells you what you need to apply for the specified crop. It's recommending 1.3 tons of lime to get you to a 6.5 ph. With the extremely hard rains we've had this year it can...

I'm in southeastern NC. I want to get the bull May-July so I can have feb-april calves. And yes I bought bred heifers. All have calved except 1.

No they're not bred. I bought them as bred heifers in August. I'm waiting till this summer to rent a bull. Trying to get them on a schedule. Should I be concerned about him breeding his mom or my young calves (3-4 months old)?

Not sure if this is the right section for this question, but here it goes. I have a few Red Angus that were bred with a Tarentaise and one gave birth to a bull calf on Sept 1st. I am going to sell him pretty soon, but had considered holding on to him a few more months to put some extra weight on...

Thank you to everybody for the replies. As far as the mother she licked and nudged them for awhile and wasn't very happy, but seems to be recovering fine. I've only had one calf before and it was a bull that weighed about 60lbs. So when I saw these they looked tiny. Not a whole lot bigger than a...

This may be a dumb question, but I'm new at this so excuse me. I had a cow today that delivered two dead heifer calves. One was very small and didn't even really have hair. Looked more like catfish skin. The other was a little bigger, but still way smaller than what I'm use to. They probably...

That's honestly the only thing I haven't tried. They are so dead set on not crossing it I was scared they'd thirst to death. I've got to do something, the horse flies are eating em up!

I purchased a 10' back rubber and soaked it with Gordon's back rubber stuff mixed with diesel fuel. I placed it at the only opening the cows can use to go between 2 pastures. My 2 bigger cows will walk through it with no problem, but my younger heifers won't go under for anything. They'll chase...
