You are correct. The last group i took in last week had an average hanging weights of 726, 684, 668, 664, and 640 for an average of 676lbs which would put them at roughly 1000lbs each live weight. I would like to get that hanging weight closer to 800lbs each or a live finish weight of 1250...

I 100% agree with what your saying here but the big outfits around me sell nothing but pot loads of fats and some direct-to-consumer freezer beef. Cow/calf/finish operations, all in house. Not saying that i couldn't find a good calf supplier and yeah 100% genetics play a huge roll in it...

Brewers grain is the spent grain from brewing beer. And we have a local craft brewery that gives us about 500lbs of it a week. Depending on what beer they're making, it changes periodically with different grains. I have no idea what the protein level is in it. I have never looked at brewers...

When we first got going, we used loads of mixed feed with Purina steak maker, mineral, and molasses. We did not see much frame growth when feeding that ration. They just got fat. As wide as they were tall. And that could likely be because i started them on it too soon and didn't give them a...

I'm thinking that's the case too. All the steers we've raised have been fair steers out of AI sires and yeah, they're 11-1200lbs at a year old but they're on show feed too. The minimal profits from the freezer beef help to cover some of the cost of the kids show feed. That's really why we do...

Yeah Angus/Hereford or Angus/Simmi. I'm in Ohio. Extremely limited on what you can find in the way of feeders. I think the average herd size is 18 head for the entire state. Too much valuable farm ground that sells for $15-$20k/acre. I always go for the crosses to get the advantage of...

I wanted to get some feedback from you seasoned cattlemen (and women) on average daily gain. We're a small operation and feed out 6-8 head for freezer beef every year. We purchase 5-6 weight heifers in the spring (usually early April) and send the group in to be butchered in mid March the...

As of now no

This will be our 3rd spring doing AI and I cannot speak highly enough of Rainfall. His calves have been studs from day 1. They all have an alpha personality regardless of what cows we put him in. Been super happy with him

From what I’ve heard guys are mixing about 1lb of garlic powder to 50lb of loose mineral. I haven’t tried it myself but I might. I feel like the Altosid makes the Pattie’s rock hard and they don’t break down very well

We sell a lot of Buyers toolboxes. Have not had an issue with one and they have great prices. RC is another quality brand. We’re not an Eby dealer, but I believe they make their own underbody toolboxes as well

Great video. Thank you for posting! Agree with Dixie those girls have some exceptional length for Angus. Beautiful herd and scenery. We just had our first calves from AI breeding in my tiny herd. Used Crawford Gaurantee and SAV Rainfall. What a difference in the calves compared to what we...

Yes to all of these plus I would add spray some laundry detergent on the floor and sides to help with sticking before every load. A vibrator would shake it out for sure but your looking at around $1k installed

A donkey in with the herd

I’m in the same boat. Should have some dropping in February

We’ve done the same thing in the past. Rip a couple off and shove them down her throat. Vet says it triggers a response for the animal to kill all the other warts and yes it worked like a charm

Because you can’t get new ones. Ford has 150,000 SuperDuty trucks complete that are sitting waiting for computer chips. Add in all the stimulus money, a booming economy, no one working, component shortages and you have the perfect storm. Overwhelming demand with low supply. It’s a bad deal for...

Just beware….any type of truck is hard to find right now let alone a good deal on one. Used are going for way more than they’re worth. Some used pick ups selling for more than new. It’s slim pickins out there. If you can wait, do it. 👍
