    Another Young Hereford Bull - 19W

    Obvisously you photo shopped that picture, you took the front of a bull from the south and a bull from up north that is still growing hair. I will say you did an excellent job putting the two together. :D

    Cost of AI

    It is priceless when you stick over 75 percent and your calf crop hits the ground in a ten to fourteen day period. Nice uniform group of calves to market at a premium.

    Solar Power Fence Chargers, any good ones?

    We use solar speedrites, the 1000 model to keep our bulls in with a single strand all winter. One fencer was doing three pens covering 75 acres. use a marine deep cycle battery and it is always charged. You can get a bigger fencer and put a bigger solar panel on it and it could do all of that...

    I would look for integrity from the owner of the bull before I used him and make sure their are no defects in the sire you choose.

    how much to pay

    What would three 800 lb steers be worth that is a good rule of thumb. Some people who are selling for 1200 - 1500 have no idea what thier costs are or I need to move next to them. Yearlings in our area private treaty are 2500 - 3600. When an old cull bull brings 2000 I think you could add a...

    Would You Buy Embryos Sired By A Confirmed Carrier?

    NO !!!!!!!!!!!!! Why throw good money after a problem. Seems to me this would be a great time for an association to step in and maybe look at some new rules on sales of embryo's especially if the association was sponsoring the sale. Why try and trick new buyers into a breed into buying a...

    Hereford coming yearling bulls

    The seller should have banded them and then this would be a mute point. Cull bulls leave my place two ways either banded or as a donation to the local food bank in one pound packages.

    Hereford steer vs. Angus steer

    How long are you going to let it hang after you harvest it? The longer it hangs the more tender it should be. If your butcher will let it hang three weeks let it hang. We have not really change our feeding program in four years now and my clients get either black baldies or straight...

    Comments on Hereford bulls

    I have used both Thor and Ribeye. I just had my first set of Thor calves but the bulls look promising. Do not use him on heifers if you are not around.I will use him again I am sure. The Ribeye daughters that I have in production have nice udders with small teats. I am getting plenty of...

    Shady good luck with the 5N bull I never had anything to keep out of him when I sampled him a few years ago. I never even had a heifer that I kept to see if she could milk.

    Financing Cattle?? &*^^&&%$#$%)**@

    Be glad you had a signed contract. I also agree contact local law enforcement that you are going to repossess the cattle. Let us know how it turns out.
