This is them now, they will both be 4 years old in February and they are standing with their 3rd calves. The calf on the left is a F2 SimAngus out...

I am currently a junior majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Soil and Water Science at UF. I am home for the holidays, so I decided I would post some pics of my cows and calves. Most of...

    New way to weigh cattle

    I found this interesting, it was on our local news. The Bellamy Brothers run a Charolais herd and are trying out a new invention for weighing their cattle. I really can't see how it would really be accurate all the time, but even if it is I'm sure its to expensive for me. Their land buts up to...

    Maines/Club Calves

    I have been told by a few people that Maines usually don't milk very well. I was wondering if that's true for the most part. I am looking at two heifers out of Who Made Who that are bred to Ali. They are really nice, I was just wondering how Who cows usually do as momma cows. I will probably be...

    County Fair

    Just got done at the county fair, loaded my steer up last night. He was a purebred Black Angus that I raised myself, I was the only exhibitor who bred and exihibited their own steer, he is a calf out of one of my old show cows. He was the only purebred steer in the barn. He weighed in at...

    Show Heifer

    I am looking at a 3/4 Maine 1/4 Limi show heifer. She has been weaned and on feed for 60 days, but she is only 6 months old. I always leave my calves on their mommas until 6 months, I was wondering what the drawbacks are for a calf being weaned at 4 months or if there is any.

    Which to choose......

    I have a purebred Angus steer that I have been planning on showing in a Market Steer show. He will be around 13 months at fair. He is out of one of my old show cows and I have been working with him for a while, and he is already cut. Then the guy down the road has a 1/2 Angus 1/2 Limo bull calf...

    Do you have any experience...

    With how 878 calves usually finish out and look? Would you be against showing a purebred Angus against crossbred steers? I have a steer out of New Design 878 and one of my Registered Angus cows. I was thinking about using him as my show steer for this coming year. He will be a year next January...

    Whats wrong with Salers?

    Can someone please explain to me what is wrong with Salers? Is seems like everyone on this board hates them, except for TurnThatCowLooseMaw! I have yet to figure out why. They add muscle, bone and eye appeal to almost anything, heck they even make LonghornX calves look good! As for being crazy...

    Fostering Calves

    I had a 13 year old cow have a big bull calf today. She has "bananna tits" as we call them around here and the calf couldn't suck. I know, I should have sold here a while back, she has been like this for a long time and in the past has always weaned heavy calves. I knew the day would come when...

    What bull should I use?

    I have some moderate framed registered Angus cows that I want to breed to a Simmental bull to get Sim-Angus calves. I want to AI them to a bull that produces calves that will work in the show ring and pasture. Any suggestions?

    Can you guess what she is a cross between?

    Can you guess what breeds this heifer is a cross between? She is 10 months and last week she weighed 880lbs. What do yall think about her? No, Rocksprings not Beefmaster but close and yes her father was something black.
