    Hay or Feed

    We may need to look into places like a NASCAR event to see what those NASCAR queens are consuming to make them so attractive in their spandex pants, double chin, baccy oozing out their mouth and the rolls of fat extruding out of their tank tops. Ring tones huh

    Growing a young bull

    If you don't have a good health program quit now and go back to buying your bulls We sell weaned bulls all the time to buyers just like you and won't guarantee them unless they are gaining a minimum of 3 lbs/day. Any bull that won't gain 3 lbs/day should have his head cut off anyway as this is...

    Need advice please

    To be fair, I would charge them for the grass,feed, your time, water and care. A mature cow will probably eat 35 lbs of grass per day x 5 = 175 lbs per day Depending on the age of the calves and what you are feeding them grass -- 350 lb calves 10 lbs of grass x 5 = another 50lbs per day If you...

    Whole Corn start to finish - any thoughts?

    I always put a bag of all purpose mineral in a ton of feed. Mineral is cheap enough when you buy it on a ton basis--- anyway.... yes 3% CP hay that is course will go through the mix mill better using the big screen. All I want from the coarse hay is a source of roughage because when finishing...

    My beef finishes tough

    Here is a little information from Arkansas extension, which might help clear this up: I think it has a lot more to do with genetics than anything, but it could be excited at harvest, depending on how they were handled, etc.... I do know that most Limms and Charolais tend to lack external fat...

He has some earthy looking gals talking to the sometimes ill-informed consumers about the fact that they dont use antibiotics and...
