Hi All! I am indeed amongst the living. To cut to the chase, I am trying to get a little email newsletter out that is mainly geared towards young folks. People in their later high school and early college years would be the main target, er, focus. :D But, I certainly think having some more...

I've been away for quite a little while. I'm really missing the fall photos, and pictures of good cattle, and all the friends and contacts I made on here. Not to mention some good learning experiences and a couple heated arguments. A little bit of an update is that I recently bought two...

I do not have heifer results! However, I do have fairly accurate bull results. With all the out and no sale bulls, there were 288 head sold and I recorded 285 of them. Here's what it breaks down into on the 285 I got recorded, and I hope my math was correct. The first round of Angus bulls sold...

On 11-3-09 starting at 10 am will be the PCC Bull Sale. Heifers sold today. I have to say, I really enjoyed the herd quitter meeting tonight and I got a lot of insight into what it takes to change for the better. More and more glad the only club calf on the place is my 4-H steer. I think our...

This ain't my only steer this year, but this is my show steer for the year. For those of you who are ticked at me for criticizing any cattle you have, go ahead and unload here. You can tell me his feet don't point perfectly straight, but he's acceptable.

Check out this bull. I been thinking on using him for a while, and finally got in contact with one of the owners. I think he's pretty sweet, and the guy I talked to said he should be usable on heifers. We'll see I guess. Hoping to get some deep mamas and showy bulls/steers outta this guy. EDIT...

This don't fit here, but this is really the board with the most hits anyhow. How about instead of getting angry, making mean posts, and locking threads, we just get a few smileys as gentle reminders. (There's some other ones as well.) Copyright free. Use 'em if ya want. And of course, a...

Although I'm a "rancher" by definition because I have a hat, spurs, and ride a pony to gather cattle, I still do a fair amount of tractor driving and land management. Around here, we are really making progress on taking weed infested and grassless land and turning it around into a solid, dry...

After going through the fun process of selling my first bull, I got the full load of what it takes to get a bull ready for sale, especially if he crosses state lines. I learned a lot, but I sold my bull for a pretty low price because I wasn't sure if he was top notch. He's going to do great for...

I've been looking at how to reseed some drier pastures without ripping up the ground. In some areas around here, completely taking out the old growth gave some of the old grasses a chance to come back tender and green, and the new grasses are really coming on. However, that is a relatively low...

Our new grass is up and coming! Not planted in extremely straight rows, mind you, but it's up. :lol2: All of it's about 2-3 inches tall, which ain't too shabby considering the conditions. We got a very well timed inch of rain that really sent them growing. Trouble is, our soil drains very...

I have been thinking quite a bit about this lately. What's the difference in millet, sorghum, sudan grass and "feed"? Ain't there grain and hay varieties of millet? I can't get all them straight, so if you all could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. :help:

I found that Curtail® controls knapweed and thistle very effectively, along with taking out other perennial weeds. Has anyone used this product? It was the least concerning of recommended sprays in terms of drift. It also said only one reapplication might be necessary to prevent seedlings from...

Hi all, A halfway relevant question here I hope. I want to know how, before GPS, you use those field markers that roll on the side of your planter or drill. How do you use the furrow it makes to guide you? Sorry, but this is one question that just bugs me to death and I will be planting fall...

Hi all. Thanks for the help on getting my little bull posted. I already have a hit on him and the guy is local, so hopefully things can get worked out! Anyhow, I was wondering where I could find feeder and fat cattle prices. Although all my fat cattle are gone, we'll be getting ready to sell...

I am looking for a place where I can sell a couple long yearling calving ease Angus bulls. Besides carigslist, is there anywhere on the net where you could post an ad for free, even if only for a week or so? I don't want to sink a LOT of money in selling these fellas, but I need to get them out...

Well, the first two are a steer and a heifer that are out of a different bull than the one posted. Both LimFlex. The third calf is a bull prospect and, dare I say it, the picture doesn't do him justice. I can't wait to get a blocked out/set up picture of him this fall at weaning. He's lookin...

Welp, I got a kind of average Angus calf out of one of my high priced registered cows. Sure, he's doing fine and growing OK, but I just don't think he has anything to offer to the Angus breed or commercial cattlemen either one. Too many trash "seedstock" bulls out there anyhow. He'll fit on the...

Howdy all: Welp, I had a teeny bit of time this afternoon, so I decided to get on the Mac and check out what I've been missing. For those of you who don't know, this past week was county fair. In fact, we just got loaded out of there today. It was a lot of fun, but thank goodness it's over! As...

If you were buying from a seedstock man, what things would you be looking for in him and his operation? I of course want to produce reliable, proven genetics that people want to buy. I would also want to run a "transparent" operation that was a 100% honest with nothing to hide. I think those are...
