We have a pneu dart. It works good, but darts are expensive and take too long to fall out. I would be interested in a cap-chur. I believe they have reusable darts that are supposed to fall out quickly.

It can be hard to tell from a picture. It took me a few pics. Some nice calves look plain with the wrong stance.

Here is a plain calf in poor condition to compound his plainness. Here are a couple nicer ones.

The calves look okay but I would call them plain. Plain calves sell hit and miss. Some sales are 10-20 behind good calves. Others can be much more. There just aren't always many buyers at that sale for them. Also stuff like weaned and shots can sometimes not matter if there aren't many buyers to...

One thing about calves is that it can sometimes pay to feed them through a drought. As long they gain weight, they are appreciating.

Thanks, that's the plan. I just try to make sure price I pay matches value and those 1 1/2s often seem below their value. There are certainly some plainer ones that I hope can upgrade with some feed. Might be a dairy cross here, oops!

Here is some of my calves I bought for this season. They were purchased over the last month. Ended up averaging around 507 lbs, $2.40. Probably half were bulls. All are steers now. I'm always excited to see how a group turns out!

I just learned it was come boss. I've been saying kimboss this whole time!

With the breakup of land you have, you are probably best set up for steers. My understanding of western SD is you probably can't support 10 cows on 120 acres of grass. You could support a lot of steers if you want to with the hay ground helping, assuming it's irrigated.

Similar to what Ken said, it's just a different world today. It's not about people not wanting to work. People have to take care of their own, and that looks differently today than it did a few decades ago. My dad could get away with working all the time. Me, not so much. There is a shortage...

That Marines sword is pretty neat... My FIL has a dagger with a swastika on it. He got it from an uncle or his dad (his family died years ago). We assume he stole it from a nazi.

Best way to learn is to start. Probably best to find an order buyer. Keep them long enough or feed them enough to get at least 200 lbs on them.
