    New Calf Arrival

    I'm not exactly brand new here, but I am definitely still in the learning stages. Here's my situation. I have a cow that, according to the vet, is going to give birth in the next week or two. With all the rain that we've gotten, and that is still expected, here in central Texas, I haven't...

    What breed?

    Here are some pics of my bull Braveheart (we call him that because he was afraid of everything and everyone). When we bought him we were given a bunch of wrong information about him and the other heads we bought. Can anyone tell me what breed you think he is? Personally, I think he's some...

    Bull or Steer?

    I have a bull that is a little over 15 months old that is not shaping up to well. He's got decent muscling, but is very small. He took a long time to get this far. I have a Beefmaster bull that I bought for my herd so I don't need the little guy anymore. I was thinking of letting him fatten...
