I'm somewhat drawn to the Spanish and Kikos. I get the impression they have more maternal efficiency (# of kids weaned relative to the does' weight at time of weaning) and they appear less susceptible to parasites and possibly are easier keepers.

No, they are still doing fine. Just considering adding in some goats to clean back some brush and cedars.

Can anyone suggest a decent message board for goats with some veteran goat breeders participating?

Bryan, Attractive bulls. What makes these three your favorites?

Glad to see your post, Bud. There are several of us here that would enjoy and appreciate whatever you would like to share.

Contact Chuck & Annette Steffan at Heart River Ranch in North Dakota. They have daughters of both Data and Boaz.

The people I know that use "pasture and care" usually pay by the head per day for cow/calf pair. For stickers it is usually paid for on a pounds gained basis. Am I leaving a lot of particulars out on this message board? Sure, because I'm just trying to find those that are interested first. I...

Thank you HD. There are a lot of people that would utilize a custom grazier. They are in short supply. This may be one of the most promising (and low start up costs) way for young people to get into agriculture. I too hope there are those that read Greg's two books as there is a great demand for...

Funny you would bring this up. I have discussed this with Greg in person as late as two years ago and he didn't have any suggestions for a custom grazier in Kansas (where I am located.) My conversations started with Greg before his first book went to print and that was in 2002. I've even ran a...

Thought I'd bring this back up again. We are looking for a custom grazier, or someone that offers "pasture and care" preferably in Kansas. If you know of someone, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you, in advance, for your reply.

If your friend hasn't done so already, check with trucking companies near the destination point to see about a back haul. They are much less expensive. Perhaps the local John Deere, Case IH, or heavy equipment dealer can suggest a trucking company.

We leased a pasture 18 miles from home for two years. The second year the neighbor's sale barn special bull (bought at the sale barn during the regular sale) jumped in with our registered females. Fortunately all our females were bred so he didn't do anything but eat grass that we paid for. Told...

Massey, You may want to get there before weaning as a lot of the Oswald bull calves are bought by commercial cowmwn before weaning for more than what 3way is talking about.

Not taking shots, just provide one avenue to the solution.

Or you could just not cut one of your steers to have not only a cheap cow settler, but it will be easy to cash flow and if he doesn't work out you will know the breeder to blame

A 1,250# steer sold for $1.25/pound is worth $1,562.50. If a person doesn't think one of my bulls is worth 2 of his fat steers then I won't sell them a bull as they are telling me they need something different. There are a lot of cheap bulls at the sale barn. The $1,500 bull buyers should go get...

Bulls are pleasing to look at.

You may want to check out Axtell Cattle Company at Anton, Colorado. They use Beckton and BootJack and are creating their own. Red Hill Farms in Tennessee is linebreeding to B571. A lot of it comes down to your definition of "linebreeding" as it has almost as many definitions as people that use...

One of the younger Reds in the ABS line up I believe has some good things going for him is Milk Creek Redstone. The Epic R397 bull is his maternal grandsire. I'm partial to his sire LT142, as I have a good amount of his influence in my herd. One of our herdsires is a double grandson on LT142. If...
