Thank you Frankie Your answer is much appreciated! You were right in saying native grass because that is what is on it, 50 acres was in wheat about 5 years ago and the owner hasn't turned it over since so it's reverted back to wild native grass, it has a nice pond and a good pipe corral set up...

Hi Just wondering if any of you guys and gals know what the average stock rate is in around Waurika, Ryan Oklahoma I know this is such a braud question as there are so many different factors but just trying to get a bit of an idea as to what the stocking rate is like in and around those...

Hi Chippie That's right, I believe the wife was reading that out to me from the FFA meeting the other night... I guess it's better to purchase a nice heifer I guess, but you are correct...I remember my wife reading those rules out to me. Thank you!

No offence taken but I guess you didn't read my post correctly... I stated that these are just some of the shows that my son would attend if he had or could find a yearling Heifer, I didn't say that he is going to show something that he doesn't presently have.... so I wouldn't say that is a...

Hi Ya'll My 12 year old son would like to enter a few shows with his FFA group, at this point in time he needs a registered yearling Heifer, halter broke would be a major plus but I know the chances of that is slim. I was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to lease him a yearling...

Hi TexasBred ... Sorry about the broad question, I am working on a budget and trying to make sure I cover in the purchasing costs on the cattle give or take a little. Regarding Type, Age Location .... I'm not 100% sure at the moment, I'm thinking for type, I better to go with commercial for...

Hi Ya'll Just wondering what would one be expected to pay for say 30 good healthy bred cows or 30 good healthy cow calf pairs? I'm sure teh time of the year has a lot to do with prices but just a general idea as to what it would cost to buy in the spring and what it cost to buy in the fall...

Excellent question Skyline.... I am also really curious to see what some of the national stocking rates are like in other areas ... acres needed to support per cow calf pair per year. I was looking in east of Colorado Springs and found out this morning that the stocking rates there are about 40...

Hi Busterz ... the rainfall is 13.8 inches, I don't know what the carrying capacity is in that area, like you said before we jump in I want to gather as much as I can in regards to what were going to need before making the leap and this forum and you guys are a wealth of information.... which is...

Well the heat and humidity in Texas and Oklahoma is just something I can't get used to... by the way Oklahoma is probably my favorite state, I think I've been in every county in Oklahoma, the humidity though is a big factor for me... I like to think that I've done a good days work when I sweat...

Hi Grabbing any animal of flight is going to get you kicked... If you were a cow in a pasture at night and something was to walk up on or grab your hoof/hock.... what would your first reaction be? I can assure you it wouldn't be to turn around and look to see what it is, they are going to do...

Hi lpalos I am definitely not one qualified enough to give you any sort of advice with the cattle market in the USA but in saying that, like each and every one of us I do have opinions, dreams and goals of which I thank everyone pursue their should have dreams and goals no matter what, but all...

Thanks IluvABbeef for this posting because I was about to post the same type of question. I also had a question about cow calf pairs, at what age would you typically sell the calf's, as weanlings or a few months after weaning, because I know you guys wean them for about 60 days and then run...

Hi ... Thank you all for the informative and helpful information... much appreciated! Like Red Bull Breeder has stated, I agree in that it would be time well spent for me to visit a sales barn in my area and see how the entire process works. Again thank you all, because I've gotten something...

Hi I was wondering how the actual sale of cattle worked here in the USA. The reason why I'm asking is that In Ireland we basically have two sales options, if the daily market prices are right we can bring our young calf's to the auction/sale barn, it's not a guarantee that they will be sold but...
