The bulls look good. We are using CF Trump and Einmoor genetics. A calf over 75 lbs is rare for us.

Body condition and feed have more to do with birthweight than the bull or the cow. For instance if you feed a dry dairy cow like a high producing one you will be doing C-sections. Silage fed beef and grass fed beef will show a big difference also. JMO

Using the FSA direct payments and cost share NRCS payments are not welfare in any way. They are programs designed to help the farmer improve his income and the land. It also rewards those who follow certain consersation practices. Using these programs is simply good management. 8)

:nod: Yep, About 15 years ago one of my sons at age 16 decided he wanted his own phone. I said NO, so he went and got one on his own, in his own name. Had a seperate line run to the house and everything. The bills came in his name and didn't bother me. One day he left his phone bill lay on the...

What are the pros and cons of using Brown Mid-rib Sorghum for hay. In our climate here we will not be able to plant untill June 15th as it will not be warm enough. I want to take off first crop grass and then reseed using Brown mid-rib sorghum as my cover crop.

:tiphat: Howdy, NRCS and FSA has been real good to work with in this area. We participate in most FSA programs and NRCS grazing and wetlands programs.

A warm woman and a cold beer go a long way on my list..................... :P ;-)

We have a dozen Longhorn and Longhorn corriente cross cows that we put a polled shorthorn bull on and most of the calves are polled. Cows are 700 to 1000 lbs and wean a 400 to 600 lb calf so we have no complaints. When it comes to calving time it's like Forrest Gump says " Ya never know what yer...

Had a steer go totally nuts a few years back. I got him into the bull pen and called the butcher. He came out later that day and when he skinned him he had some grubs under his hide. The butcher told me he had seen this before and it drove the cattle nuts.

Holstein, Shorthorn cross, bred to Charolais bull.

Nice website, nice cattle. Good Luck.

The cows have always had crumbles added to their feed and new calves had shots. I am considering going too lick blocks. What type of dewormers do you use?

If 9 out of 11 calves were still born there are certainly more problems than the bull...............That sounds more like a mineral or feed problem.

May the Love of God and the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all this Christmas season. MERRY CHRISTMAS. May you all be blessed in 2008.

:lol: Best thing to do with Simmentals is trade them in on some Shorthorns :lol: Nieghbor has couple hundred Simmentals and has had a nice herd with few problems. Like all breeds it depends on how you handle them. Good luck.

8) :lol: Even Dun's first choice would be SHORTHORNS ;-)

ROB, That's one nice hiefer. Do you deliver to Wisconsin? :lol: Thanks for the post on the history of the breed.

8) Thanks for the education Doc. The weaning and yearling weights are impressive. Do they achieve the yearling weight on just grass??

Nieghbor uses Red Angus bulls on his Limi cows. Calves really look good.

Nice calf...looks like Shorthorn 8)
