    Show me your herd bull

    I've had several cows and bulls with Diamond D bloodlines- and they all had good feet. This bull hasn't had any foot problems. Alliance 189V has some New Zealand Pinebank Waigroup breeding - and they are known for their good foot qualities. At the last sale a month ago I bought a young bull from...

    HOW OLD?

    I will be 73 in March- and my son and I run 60 registered black angus cattle. Last couple of years have been quite the strain with a bad drought. Hoping the snow we have now breaks that. I also own a small restaurant/bar/casion (DB's Bar and Casino) in Glasgow Mt that my wife and daughter run. I...

    DNA samples

    We have used the TSU's for the last 3 years. So much easier than drawing blood- and many of the labs don't want tail hair anymore. And as long as they are kept cool or frozen, I understand the samples will last for sometime. Lazy Bar B Angus.

    Expected extreme heat wave temperatures

    Yep- it always seems when one gets too little- others get too much ! On top of the drought- now the Grasshoppers have moved in eating everything green they find- and what the don't get the Blister Beetles are here this year too. What's bad about them is if they don't eat the hay/alfalfa they...

    The Governor just declared all of Montana a drought disaster area. Northeast Montana, ND, and southern Saskatchewan are in the worst drought in over 30 years . We only received .29 inches of rain all of June (which is normally our wettest month) . Only have received 2.8 inches of rain since...

    Hay season 2021

    Oh yeah still kicking! Just been busy! Still working some on the ranch- running registered angus - although my arthritis and spinal stenosis has slowed that down a lot. Wife and daughter talked me into buying a Restaurant, Bar and Casino a few years back that takes up some of my time too . If...

    bottle calf-when to wean?

    In this country there are cows that aren’t seen from the time they go out in spring til they are rounded up in the fall. When you have pastures of 20,000 to 50,000 acres , often in rough country you can’t check all of them twice a week .

    Hay season 2021

    Had a snowstorm here a few days ago- which gave us some much needed moisture to get things started. NE Montana in a severe drought- so the rain and wet snow was welcomed. Don’t start haying here til mid- June at earliest .

    Covid after 1 yr

    Dr. Anthony Fauci made $417,608 in 2019, the latest year for which federal salaries are available. That made him not only the highest paid doctor in the federal government, but the highest paid out of all four million federal employees. Dr. Fakie has to keep the sham going and people in fear so...

    Older bulls throw larger calves?

    This weather environment hasn't just been my observation over the years but is also been shown in some experiment station studies. Also in mine and others use of A.I. Bulls we've noticed that a bull being used in Montana will average heavier birth weights then a bull being used in Texas. "The...

    Older bulls throw larger calves?

    Genetics don't change with age. Two things that do influence weight of calves is feed/protein of the cow- and studies show the temperature/climate influences weights. After colder rough winters we get higher birth weights as the cows put more energy towards trying to make sure the calves live...

    Replacement candidates 2017 PICTURES!!!!

    They are looking good.. I'm jealous of your green grass- since all we've looked at most of the summer is "brown".. I agree with you - I like the 3z calf best- got some nice length to her.. The one that catches my eye and brings back memories is 8z- nice looking heifer- and takes me back to my...

    Montana Burning Up

    Yeah I think they have fire crews in here from 37 states this morning.. The mainsteam media seems to be blind to these eastern Montana fires- as I've seen very little on national news.. Hay is at a premium- probably going to be around $200 T.. Some being trucked in from Minnesota. Several of my...
