I’ve financed my entire herd out of my pocket. I’m a first generation cattleman I started with nothing and I’m up to over 230 head in three years. I have the ability to expand again but at some point I’d like to use a loan instead of continually funding it out of my pocket. Is there special...

I’m having trouble grasping how EPDs work with regards to comparing separate bulls for producing replacement females. Can someone link a YouTube video or article that breaks it down in a really rudimentary way? An-explain like I’m five-type video. Thank you.

My herd count is starting to get bigger. I’ve always funded everything out of my personal bank account. At what point did you start a business to protect yourself? I’m guessing I need to incorporate and start a business checking account, etc. When did you decide to make that decision?

I’m sure like most of y’all I have multiple lengths, gauges of needles, multiple CCs of syringes, etc. Has anyone found a creative storage solution with a tool box, tackle box or something like the tool packout systems? Any pictures of what you have would be awesome.

I have some straight commodities, in bulk though. What would you feed for a day until you could mix a ration? I have corn meal, soybean meal, etc. Will feeding one of these for a day cause any issues on a group of weaned heifers? Or could I feed them half and half of each? They’ve been weaned...

Good evening. I have a silly question. Why is cattle priced the way it is? Meaning, why are younger animals worth more per pound? You’d think after raising them up and putting the extra time, feed, vaccines, etc. into them that they’d be worth more. I can buy a 600 pound animal at auction for...

I have a lot of 28 weaned Brangus heifer calves. Three have this same issue on the tail. I pulled some fecal samples and nothing came back out of ordinary. One had a little cocci but I started her on corid. I’m probably going to start the entire lot on it. If one has it they’ll probably all have...

My Brangus herd is rapidly expanding and I really want to learn more about cattle nutrition. Does anyone have a reliable YouTube channel, blog, etc, they’d like to share? I have googled different versions of “beef cattle nutrition for beginners” and there’s a lot of nonsense to step through in...

Can anyone point me in the direction of high quality sex specific semen for Brangus?

I’m going to freeze brand my heifers. Before freeze branding they need to be shaved. I’m not sure what clippers I should buy. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a good transportation company to move a load of cows from Texas to Florida?

Does anyone in Florida have a good vaccination schedule from calf all the way to cow? I’ve talked to my Vet and he told me some things that I absolutely needed and others that were optional. I’m curious what y’all are doing? Also, if anyone has an excel spreadsheet or google sheet set up for...

A ranch close to me lost a lease and they have forty yearling Brangus heifers that are 12 months old and 850 pounds they need to sell. If I bought them what should I expect for conception rates on those virgin animals? I’m going to AI them and use a clean up bull when they’re breeding age. I’ve...

I bought thirty really nice Brangus open heifers. They’re pretty close to being ready to breed. I’m going to AI them instead of putting a bull on them. What semen are y’all using?

As the title suggests, I’m looking at buying calves to start a beef herd. I have a local dairy that breeds all their animals with SimAngus semen and sells the calves. Would these be decent animals to start a herd with? I know at a sale anything with a dairy frame gets beat up but I don’t know...
