Definitely good bird country. I've hunted a lot of that area too.

Thanks for sharing. That's good looking quail country! I've killed a lot of birds from Elk City to Cheyenne to Guymon over the past 35 years!!

Silver hit the nail on the head as to ehy I have them palpated, though I have considered trying to change up a little and just do a blood test.

My vets do nothing but cattle and when I need them, I REALLY need them. I'd love to do my own preg checking but I can't. The only thing I really need it for is to tell me if she's bred or not. No need to keep an open cow on my place. I have a 60 day window now that I worked hard to get to so...

I don't know anything about dairy cattle but I kept a really nice bull from an AI mating. Debated on keeping his momma but I did. He breeds her and I've had no issues. I wont keep any of those offspring though.

I got down to my south place this weekend. Found the hand had broke or cut the ice in a couple of places for stock to drink. However, the cattle had been walking all over the pond as evidenced by the manure smack in the middle of the pond. That scares me to death for what happens this week...

I'm with Murray, lots of hay and hope for the best. My tank heaters were working ok yesterday but it's -5 now so I haven't seen them yet this AM. I don't know when we'll ever see 70 but at this point bring on the 40's!!!!

WOW Steve!! I forgot to add MN to all the places I don't envy!!! Ouch!! Sure hope your conditions improve!!

This is my shout out to all of you who live in the "North!!" It's 5 degrees with a 21 mph north wind and blowing snow where I am in Oklahoma right now. They say it hasn't been like this since the 1940's here. I'm paying a hand to chop ice this week on my ponds at my south place that's far...

By the way I saw you said you were close to Gainesville. I've never been to their barn but it looks like they run numbers comparable to Durant. You might be just as well off there.

I like Durant for your purpose but probably Ada if you sell 5 or more.

Looking at your location I am guessing you'll take him to Ardmore, Durant, or Ada. They won't care about your vaccination dates but they will announce he's had one or two rounds of vaccine. Most people will take calves the evening before, but you could take a single early the morning of the...

The older man that owns the place next to mine swear by butchering 1400 lb bulls. He says they are more tender and flavorful. I've never butchered a bull but I have butchered many steers and heifers. I tend to find a cow that produces butcher calves I really like and stick to her calves...

I never meant to turn it into an oohhh rah my alma madder makes yours look bad. I have no idea where the 4 vets I referenced went to vet school, nor do I care. I believe them all to be really good vets so if I came across otherwise, my apologies. I just find it interesting the "signs" vets...

What is your experience with preg checking? A vet does all mine. I've had at least 4 vets preg check for me in the last several years. They range from reasonable new to older leading cow vet in the state. The results I get (time bred) never fail to be considerably off with one or many head...

I'd say more likely genetics. It's a common problem in Angus cattle, and one that should probably be culled for. I have a nice Red Angus bull I may have to cull for curly toe. https://www.agriculture.com/family/living-the-country-life/curly-toe-syndrome

You've gotten good advice I won't repeat. As far as color I believe Valley Vet used to have a chart on colors that were easiest to read at a distance to hardest to read at a distance. I use yellow because it's easy to read at a distance. However, it's a popular color, therefore hard to tell...

Welcome to a fellow Okie and teachers husband!!

Sure hate to hear that from a fellow Okie. I never dreamed it was that dry NE. It's getting pretty dry south central, but not pond drying up dry! Good luck!!!
