haven't had any real wild ones before huh? Most of the real wild ones aren't food motivated because they don't want to be around humans. They certainly aren't going into the trailer with no way to get out other than the way they came in, and if they do they aren't letting you slam the door...

had 1 that only had 1 nut. I waited to band him after I had banded all the others. I felt around and never did feel the 2nd one. So either it was way deep in his gut and never dropped or he only had 1.

Make no mistake, the Simmental breed is just as competitive if not more so than the Angus breed. The big players in the simmental breed are raising incredible cattle. In my opinion it just depends on what kind of cattle you like to look at. I myself prefer to look at baldy and blaze face...

So much depends on your end goal. If you want terminal calves I see no issue with you plan, however if you are trying to build a herd of good, solid, and uniform cows, that plan will never get you there. I know you are asking about a bull, but with only a few cows and no place to separate a...

I saw one last spring planting corn and it was so big I figured it was a German Shepard. When I got closer to it I realized it was a coyote......I about crapped my pants.

They are getting pretty thick around here as well, but honestly I haven't had a lick of trouble with them YET. Plenty of other critters around for them to eat. But should they ever develop a taste for beef it will be war. One of my favorite guns for coyotes, ground hogs and such is a .17WSM...

I've known several producers that don't vaccinate and get along just fine. Could it be a train wreck waiting to happen? Sure! But then again some trains never wreck! I vaccinate

Every year I have at least 1 go through 6 strand hi tensile that has 6k volts in it. So I started weaning in the barnyard with board fence. Worked great.

Let it lay IMO. It will be fine.

I tried the let them go with no water route, it didn't end well for me. I ended up taking the rub down and saying forget it.

Having an outside job is about the only way you will be able to make it work. Not sure what land prices are there, but here I can't make any farm cash flow on its own. There are some low interest loans available to you if you wanted to go down that route, but I've heard that there are tons of...

I do 30-35ft using 7ft 5-6" posts driven in. I use kencove poly droppers between the wooden posts. Corners are double H 8ft 6-7" posts driven in.

Cow/calf operation. And mostly because I don't like chasing cattle in the middle of the night. Also my pasture is the only one for, well, ever really. If they get out they are gone. Busy roads, lots of neighbors, and the city. This was a huge dairy area back in the 50s-2000 time frame. So...

6 wire High tensile, with 3 hot. I do not like barb wire

If they are willing to teach......not preach. Talk to me and not at me. And the my way is best without proof attitude is hard to learn from. Otherwise I fully agree.

I use Ritchie engravable tags. I really like them, and they won't fade.

I am guilty as charged. I love taking pictures of cattle and seeing cattle, but most of the time my pictures make my calves look terrible. I've started getting better about just posting pictures I feel do my cattle justice. It truly takes hours of watching them and getting the right shot. I...

No sir.

SSS! Every opportunity you can! Harass the living crap out of them. I've thrown out groundhog carcasses and then shot at them while they were coming in to eat it. They will move on, it just takes some diligence on your part.

From one end to the other it is probably 40mi of highways, back roads, and busy main roads on our row crop operation. All equipment is driven on the road. I'd be very happy with 10mi
