I keep getting mail containing offers for my land. The price is always horrible. The folks seem to be untraceable, as everything is behind a company name(s). As the offers keep coming, I’m assuming that these people make money buying land from people who don’t know its value in their local...

Well, it’s happened twice that someone has asked me to put a Wagyu bull on my cows now. The second instance was a neighbor that lives at the entrance of my place, so I’m interested as I live in the city and it’d be nice to have someone right there who‘s invested in keeping an eye on my cattle...

Had a question about setting up a winterized/freeze proof water trough in central Texas. Both my tanks have gone dry. Have installed multiple water troughs but didn’t think the creek to my main tank would still be dry during the winter months (never not been running during November), so was...

Question. I live quite a distance from my land. If I want to minimize dystocia in my cattle, is the best method to buy older cows and put heifer bulls on them that are small framed? What crosses tend to have the lowest percentage of calving problems? Is it just dependent on small frame bulls...
