So you think to much Brahma influence here?

Planted the cocktail over the weekend. I still have the cows grazing down the winter rye and will take them off this weekend as the sales guy thought mung beans first and then to expect everything to emerge rapidly. I’ll be taking pictures to monitor results with temperatures, rain and time

That’s a lot of thick rye. What kind of hay does rye make? Does it retain any protein? What is your bull that you have a white face calf?

Time to go red!

I haven’t tried it, but I have watched that and I keep a bag in the barn just for that occasion

Just settled into the chair from the farm. Had to pull a calf from a 10-year-old cow who has head calves, black clockwork. Big calf, a man who came out and helped said there are a lot of calves being pulled this year and a lot of problems because the ryegrass has come in so thick early And the...

Well, you are correct. Of course I don’t want to wait two more years for this discussion.😂😂

Sounds almost identical to the cocktail mix I’m going to try this year. I called green cover company and they put together a cocktail. Going to try it on 60 acres this year with headcount down and see what happens. Not as expensive as I imagined if it stockpiles and cuts down on fertilizer. I’ve...

I guess the good Lord is preparing us to build back our herds!🤔 we are heavy on heifers also

First time I’ve seen a noticeable drop. Decatur down in volume and price

Did not end up well. Gave her 3 days hanging an hour at a time and legs never came back. Learning experience for me.

You can interpret it any way you want to further an argument (no you are not here) but bottom line is the same calf will bring more if he’s red or black instead of white in most cases. A manager at a local sale barn told me personally that my smokies would be below average despite being...

We have one of the commission company men living here in north Texas. In addition to what bird dog described, he will come to your farm to look at your cattle and even bring a pod and portable loader out to haul for you. Still one more pocket to fill before you get your check

I can go out every evening just before dark and there are 30+ in the dead trees along the deep creek at back of our place. By 9:00 or so they are hunting in the morning

Still selling well here
