I have a 3 year old open heifer that needs to go. I don't imagine she'd bring much at the stockyards, so I'm considering fattening her up and having her slaughtered. Does anyone have much experience with butchering older cows? I've always had younger steers, I know every animal is different...

It looks like I'll be bringing home some Line 1 cows and calves later in the week. The owner is apparently very particular about his herd, they are a beautiful set of ladies, and he has three powerful bulls. I'll get more particulars on everything later, but he did say at least one of the...

With a nod to the SimAngus and Brahman threads, I have been doing a lot of thinking and research on the way I want to take my cattle operation. First, I need to produce what sells in my area. Right now, that is Red Angus or Black Baldy calves. Second, I need to produce a quality product-...

We moved some cows to summer pasture last week from a winter lot. We put a bull at this lot to feed up a little to get ready to turn out again in a couple months, and decided to sort out a thinner cow to keep him company. I went down to feed yesterday morning, and the cow was slow getting up...

https://sawyer.com/products/sawyer-poin ... embly-kit/ A friend of mine recently took a mission trip to Haiti, where they distributed these along with buckets to the people there. He was really impressed with this system. Now I'm not a doomsdayer, but this seems like a pretty cheap insurance...

On the search for a few head of cows to fill my pastures back up after some culling, I stopped by the local stockyards the other day. I found out that some nice young cows are less than a mile from me, which is good news. I go talk to the owner, hoping to swing some pasture along with the...

I inherited an I-80 heifer last night when her Lim cross momma didn't show any interest. My 9 year old daughter will show her in the bucket calf class this summer, and possibly the heifer class next year at the county fair. Long term, does anyone know how the I-80 daughters turn out? Up until...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Illinois Inspired by Margonme's Kentucky thread, I thought I would highlight one of the three Illinois': Northern, Southern, and Chicago(we have to include it, though we don't claim it around here).

So, what do you all think about this little protest? I'm glad our Constitution spells out his right to express himself, but I also believe he has the right to go find another country that suits him better. We are far from a perfect nation, but I don't see anyone tying banana leaves together to...

Since I don't want to hijack another ongoing thread, what are quality open heifers bringing now? I had the chance to buy around 20 Red Angus for $1125 a head, approx. ten months old. The seller said he figured they were around 700 pounds. I never went and looked, no money to buy right now...

imprimis.hillsdale.edu/freedom-obligation-2016-commencement-address I just read this today. I think our country is sorely lacking in these fundamental departments addressed by Justice Thomas.

The wife and I are taking the kids to Destin, Florida next weekend. We'll be going down south out of Nashville, through Alabama, then across the panhandle. Our trip down and back will be semi-leisurely, so we're looking for places to eat and things to do on the way. Big Bob Gibson's in...

I just found the first confirmed case of Palmer Amaranth in the area the other day. I know it can be a nightmare in bean fields. In reasonably healthy pasture, will it sprout and become a problem?

Does anyone have any experience using this product? I'm considering using it this year, hate to lose the clover but the ironweed is getting to be a problem. Thanks in advance!
