    Heifer Bull

    Be brutally honest. Should I keep this April born purebred bull calf to breed 10-15 heifers instead of buying a $3500 heifer bull? What do you guys like and dislike? His sire is a 4 year old Jindra Acclaim son and dam is 4 year old moderate early calving cow. The video is of the parents as...

    Nuts on or off?

    I have a yearling black angus bull I kept and was going to use on heifers but I decided I'm going to feed him out for a couple of months and eat him. Should I band him or just keep the nuts on at this point?

    Cut teat

    I'm away for work until tonight but my wife informed me there's a cow with a cut teat that was gushing blood but it's under control now. What should we do for her? I imagine she won't let the calf suck from it and I'll have to milk that quarter out. What should we put on the cut or is there...

    Tri-coloured

    This is a first for us. The dam is an F1 angus hereford x and the sire is hereford. When I first saw him I thought he was still wet in the black spots then when I went back an hour later I realized he was tri-coloured. I kinda want to finish him and make a rug out of his hide.

    Feeding for frame

    I usually sell my calves straight off the cow but I plan to do some backgrounding. Any advice on how to grow frame instead of making them too greasy?

    Different Colours

    When discussing colour preferences it's usually red, black and white. I'm curious if others have love for the browns and greys like I do. I picked these girls up from my dad's friend who allegedly has a year to live. I only had red and blacks before this but I've always had tons of respect for...

    Tiny

    This purebred hereford cow has had 7 calves in her life all above 75 lbs, until this year when she spit out this 46 lb heifer. This is the calf today almost 3 months old and not even 100 pounds yet. Anyone know what might be wrong with this pair? My wife has a few pet mini herefords and she's...

    Charolais eh

    Does anyone have pictures of hereford angus charolais calves? Also are there any breeders in Western Canada with lots of red factor charolais bulls to choose from?

    3 Way Cross

    I have a herd of mostly Angus Hereford cross cattle and I'm getting close to the numbers I can handle so I'd like to introduce a third breed and sell all the calves.

    Bull Shopping

    Which hereford bull would you buy to put over 1400+/-lb Black Angus cows with functional replace heifers being the goal? https://issuu.com/canadianangusassociation/docs/mjt_bullsale_2022catalog_dec2021_web https://events.playlistviewer.com/events/178_021222_CV_2022spring/

    ADG

    I have collected 10 purebred Herefords to play around with. I may keep some bulls for myself to use on Angus cattle, or I may sell some private treaty. I'll feed out anything I wouldn't use myself though. Anyways I have weaning weights on 4 calves out of cows I bought as breds last fall. I was...

    Virgin bulls

    I'm curious how many people would be open to buying a 2 or 3 year old bull with calves on the ground to show or do you only buy virgin bulls? I'll only sell bulls that I'd be whiling to use myself so what better way to prove that. It's hereford bulls that I'd be using on commercial angus.

    Baler Belts

    I don't know a whole heck of alot about John Deere balers and I bought a 569 with just over 15000 bales and once about every 50 bales the belts will wrap about a roller while dumping the bales. As I close the gate the belts make a God awful squeeling noise since they're being pulled from around...

    Should I

    There's people on here with good eyes so just judging by the picture and video, do ya'll think this guy would work well on older 1200-1400 lb black angus cows? I'd keep back the odd heifer.

    New Bull

    My new Bull to put on black baldy cows to make some moderate framed replacements. What do ya'll think?

    Nut on nuts off

    I went to look at a pen of bulls from a new breeder in my area. They definitely have money judging on the huge barn, metal corrals and fancy herd they were able to put together in a few years. I liked 2/3 of their bulls but thought the bottom 1/3 should have been cut. They told me they bought...

    Ground Beef

    I have a heifer with a bummed shoulder that I can't get much weight on. My coworker wants to buy her carcass to ground up. If he's grounding her up do we need to hang her?

    Sway Backs

    Why do so many show cattle and popular AI sires have great big sway backs and high tail head? Wouldn't a high tail head cause the pelvis to be tipped up and lead to more calving issues? I thought a strong straight top line would be more desirable. Just wondering if I'm missing something here.

    Raising your own bulls

    Good day folks of Cattle Today. The majority of my herd is F1 Angus/Herefords with 15 black angus cows that I started with from my dad's registered herd. I artificially inseminated the purebreds to my favourite hereford bulls and I was wondering what y'all thought about keeping my own crossbred...

    Grey Claves

    This year I had 3 grey calves out of old purebred angus cows who have always had jet black calves. Does the newest hereford bull have some simmental in the woodpile?
