I still don’t think I would be able to justify feeding hay starting in June. Soil test, Lime in the fall, and Fertilize next spring is a long term option. We cant control the weather. The best option is to rent more land if possible, or cull cows. Cull anything that bred late, calved late, to...

If a guy cant afford to fertilize for cows, which those nutrients are going back in the ground as well, then how can some one afford to fertilize, cut, rack, and bale hay then sell it and make money?

I am in SW Missouri and a rate of 1 cow per 2.5 acres sounds to high for me. I go 1 cow & calf per 4 acres, and graze till Jan. almost ever year. Then in the spring you need to keep them in a small portion of the farm feeding them hay until the grass is up and going. Then of course the...

Here are my quads. They are almost 12, and all healty.

Here are three March Heifers. I bought three bred, registered PB Simmental heifers last fall, and these are their calves. I didn’t get good pictures of them, but I like the #2 and #3 calves really well. The #1 calve is ok, but quite a bit small at birth. I will be interested to see how she grows...

Here are three Ang x Sim Hefs I like, it seems to be harder to get a good picture then I though, they always want to look back at me, and that makes them stand in funny positions. They were born in Sept 08.

I have a few cows that are 13 – 15. Sim cross, and they have bred every year, on time, and are calving right now. I have had some of them longer then I have had my kids. I can’t let go of them till they do something like, not breed on time, lose a calf, raise a sub par calf, or have an udder go...

Thanks guys. I look in to the ones in Leb. and Springfield.

I forgot to say, we have had a really good year here in southwest Missouri. It has rained steady all year long. Record rain falls but they are spaced out nicely, and the day I took those pictures, was the hottest day of the year at a little over 100 degrees. It has already cooled down...

Sorry I am not pulling anyone’s leg, and no chance I am wrong about the particulars. I probably will band him. I just bought a new Homozygous Black Simmental bull. I only have 20 mother cows, and really don’t need a second bull other then to just how he would turn out.

Like I said I am guessing at the weight, but I don’t think I can be that fare off, maybe I am 25 lbs over, but there is no way he is lighter then 475 lbs. The first year I had the cow, she weaned a very large calf. I don’t know exactly what it weighed, because it sold with 5 other calves, but...

What do you think of this bull calve. He was born the first week of April, so that make him about 4 months old. Best I can guess, he weighs 500-525 range. He is out of a Red Simmental bull. Cow has Simmental in her but not purebred. I bought the cow 4 years ago, she calves at the end of my...

Ok I guess I should have read all the post before I chinned in.

I will go with simmental.

Does anyone know who does embryo transfers in Southwest Missouri? I am considering buying a couple or three registered heifers. I might spend more on one heftier and have her flushed and transferred to some of my heifers I already have. Or maybe just buy some embryos? I know there are lots of...
