    2-4D, Amine or Ester?

    How do you differentiate? I know there is a chemical difference, where do you use one over the other? Thanks

    eliminating wild blackberries

    North Texas pasture. I have 1-2 acres of random wild blackberries in a pasture. I am strongly considering to spray diesel and remedy or maybe water and remedy. I feel the remedy and diesel will more easily reach the root system in this dormant season. I know it will be a multi year project...

    I have a lot of oak trees and pasture includes them. If I want to get rid of poison oak or ivy, is amine or ester better? Hand spraying. how about pasture spraying with Grazon?

    Desert Termites

    As a result of the ongoing drought and the above termites I have lost 25% (bare spot) in the middle of my best pasture. Do I have to address these little boogers or will they simply have less influence when I start getting normal rainfall amounts. The termites typically go after dry/dead...

    Louisianna Angus Association Bull sale, 1/23/2010

    Looked over the offering and it would appear that there is a number of AM and NH untested and carrier bulls being offered. Just does not seem right. Someone or a lot of someones, down the line, will certainly see a few dead calves after waiting anxiously 9 months.

    Pens question: exit alleyway width?

    The pens are 90 percent done. My exit alleyway (after the squeeze chute) I built 28" wide with .75" sucker rod inside that for an inside width of 26.5". I do not think the bigger Angus cows are going to fit. A 2005 cow barely made it. She weighs 1410. My biggest, a 1680 daughter,(gotta be...

    Month old heifer with one enlarged teat

    Buying Angus AI certificates

    Is there a better way to buy certificates to save money or is pricing pretty much cut and dried?

    Heartbroken, lost my bull (dead) at the feed test!

    Dropped off my registered angus bull calf only 2 weeks ago in perfect shape and 840#s (on grass only). This was my first bull I ever put on test. My association does hundreds per year so I was comfortable. It was exciting for me to drop him off (again my first bull ever) and even kidded the...

    Generic Round up, bull nettle, and cows

    I have about 30 bull nettle plants pop up and want to spray them. I have cows and heifers in the same pasture. They have eaten all around the bull nettle but won't touch the plant. I'd like to keep the cows in the pasture for the next month (weaning). I suddenly do not want to make the bull...

    Building permanent pens.

    What width (in inches) should I set the path to the squeeze chute. I am looking for a good ID dimension between the two vertical pipes so nothing has the opportunity to turn around. I will be using 3/4" sucker rod inside the ID. Angus cattle. I have heard/seen anywhere from 26" to 34" Pipe...

    Daily water consumption per cow?

    I have a opportunity to use some land (20 acres) nearby that does not have water. I might put 5 cows, heifers, or maybe Pairs there. Let's say I put in a water trough that might hold 500 gallons and I estimate cows at 1200 to 1400 pounds. Will it go a week, less more? We can estimate how...

    Creep feed timeframe?

    For those that creep feed, at what age do block access. I do shortly after weaning as at that size they will eat me out of house and home! Is there any benefit to creep any longer?

    New Angus EPD's

    I have only been watching these somewhat seriously (as I learn) for a year or two. I now realize the dramatic moves some some can make in only 6 months. Mytty In Focus for example dropped from 109 YW to 99YW. Looks like Objective is starting his "weight loss" too. I guess getting my cow's...

    Angus Tail end changing color?

    I have had this 3 year old registered black angus cow for a few years and noticed lately that two to three inches of hair at the end of her tail is turning color to gray/white. Another cow's tail is turning light brown. Both are EXT daughters. Are they missing something in terms of...
