I had two processed this week. The steer 18 months (beefmaster/shorthorn) 1300 pounds. Processor said he hung at 718. Red Angus 28 month old heifer that failed to get pregnant weighed I guessed 1100 plus. They said she hung at 492. I questioned it. What do you all think?

I'm really upset tonight. I raise lots of bottle calves. I think I'm pretty good at it. I've only ever lost a couple. I buy them. I raise them up. I usually sell some as feeders after they are weaned or as yearlings as pet/family cows. I hardly ever sell bottle calves. But a couple days ago I...

Our show steer, home raised is a shorthorn-beefmaster cross. He is 11 months. He weighs 820. His parents were not huge. This calf doesn't eat well when by himself so he and 2 heifers are being fed together. *if alone he will eat about 6 pounds at a time and walk off. They are getting 25 pounds...

We have had cattle 4 years. My daughter and I started with bottle calves and now have quite a variety of breeds. We have sold some calves as feeders as that was the plan for them all along. We have culled along the way for many reasons. We have a few jerseys we use as nurse cows. We have many...
