    What happened to white angus?

    University of Florida developed a more heat resistant angus years ago. https://rcrec-ona.ifas.ufl.edu/media/rcrec-onaifasufledu/pdf/FD-handout-Ona-White-Angus-info-(1).pdf Last I heard, they sold the herd to a guy in Haworth, OK. He had some YouTube’s and Facebook posts in 2016 but nothing...

    Will they breed right after meeting?

    If I hauled my heifer to a bull late in her heat, would they breed in a few minutes so I could bring her home right away, or do they need time for courting? She’s real gentle and halter broke, etc.

    Scientific Americans: Scientists bullied to conform to covid narrative

    So much for following the science. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-covid-science-wars1/ While the bullying goes both directions, many will be surprised to learn that reputable scientists question our government's strategies. Quote: These attacks and others like them have led...

    Covid petition, Great Barrington Declaration

    I signed this. As a former public health officer, I see our current policies as a disaster. We need to let healthy become immune to no longer threaten the vulnerable, who can’t hide forever. Total deaths will be greater the longer we prolong this. https://gbdeclaration.org/

    Young black man nails it

    This needs more play. Certainly won't be on the news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-L_xdjbedQ

    Better photos get better opinions

    Perhaps make this thread a sticky note at top? Have noticed for a long time that poor photos get less useful opinions on cattle on these boards. "Could be a bad photo, but......" Here is an example, and as Nesikep mentioned, they should have taken better photos. Amazing how people selling...

    Mass shootings and media contagion effect

    So I'm watching our local news man interview school officials asking what they can do to reduce the chance of violence. Meanwhile, they want to show all the news they can about the shootings to get better ratings and more money. Gun control is pretty much all that is discussed as the...

    Who hates more, the haters or the hater haters?

    I wrote this for another forum, and it was deleted - wrong crowd. Hope it's not political - just trying to figure out the big picture of what's going on in this country: So a few guys dress up in costumes down south, and the whole country is up in arms. So easy to mess with people...

    Are different breeds still necessary?

    Been pondering a question for awhile so will just throw it out there. I'm mostly a spectator here, and I see alot of debate over which breed to get. Does it really matter? Seems the breeds are trying to become the same. The growth breeds are becoming more maternal and maternal breeds...

    Don't want ISIS to get you?

    Here's the solution. I don't get out much, so don't know if this is going on everywhere. https://spokane.craigslist.org/grd/5439374318.html

    Would you sell/buy this bull?

    Saw this ad on craigslist and wondered how many would sell a bull such as this for breeding, and how many would buy him for breeding, if they needed a budget bull.

    Carl's Jr Grassfed beef commercial

    Saw this recently and wondered if there is going to be more of this, and more shift in how beef is produced, like it or not. Of course, I averted my eyes to avoid seeing the blonde. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WTA_8waxTo

    British White cattle, translocation, fertility

    Probably not many people here using this minor breed, but thought could get some comments generally on how these things work. Last August, I raised an issue about a problem in the chromosomes (genes) of a bull, which results in about 10% of pregnancies being lost early in the first few weeks...

    Bull with translocation gene, semen testing questions

    Was looking at semen from a bull. Breeder had stopped selling it because they said it was tested for export, and found to have a translocation gene. If I understand correctly from my reading, all the genes are normal, but just paired up slightly wrong in the chromosome, so 10 to 20% of...

    Video of research on cow efficiency - must see

    Okay, in June I started a thread asking if anyone measures how much their cow eats so they know how efficient she is producing so many pounds of calf. Not much response. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=77921 Anyway, ran across this video showing research they are undergoing where they measure cow's feed...

    Would anyone sell their good heifers?

    So I go to a farm to look at some heifers, and they tell me to go look through the ones they aren't going to keep - the leftovers. I haven't been thrilled with the few I've gotten. So I'm wondering if I went to your place and wanted to look through your keepers, would you sell one? And if so...

    Anybody measure how much their cows eat?

    Perhaps a dumb question, but what the heck. I read people saying how their cow raised a whopper of a calf, and my first question is, at what cost. Profit equals revenue minus expenses. It is easy to count the revenue when you sell calves, but how do you know what the cow cost? A few years...

    Difference between red and black angus?

    Was just reading the simmental thread where it was mentioned that other breeds didn't want to go black just for the color, but they also wanted the improved carcass etc of the black angus. Which reminded me that I've wondered how much different the red angus are in carcass and other areas than...
