Hi everyone, Seems like we agree to disagree on many things here:)...I think it is all good. Still think that every operation is unique to some extend. For example here last couple of days we had yet another snow storm and I record a video of my heifers walking in the snow towards hay, will...

Jafruech, great words:) My goal is to make it the easiest...and last few days I have learned a lot from folks here on this board.

Ken, No more taking the hay off the farm...it all stays there, I will make a supply I hope, but everything is going to stay on the property.

Rydero thanks for your input, For now there isn't any barns that I have available for me, I am thinking the same way, 2 people one working on the calve the other one guarding from the cow. And thanks for the information on the pastures improvement, I will try few things this year and will keep...

Guys, Couple of questions for you. First, if castrate at birth, what is the best way to catch a calf when it is born and deal with the mother while band him and tag? And the other question, about pastures...here is my situation, my fields been cut for hay for years, just cut and haul away...so...

Hi there, I understand about each operation is different, and most likely I will wean this year and see how will it work. I actually want to try the nose flaps as well as a wire when weaning. As for the drought, so far I don't have that problem. Last year area where I am had a big issue with...

Hi farmerjan, This year I have 36 heifers. I never preg check them. But they been with the bulls since August 20 or so. I saw the bulls tried to mount 1 or 2 cows as late as yearly October, so I am not sure if they were in heat or not. We will see. As you can see not many heifers, but the plan...

Hi, My thinking behind calving dates were the grass, I will closely watch the weather and when we do see grass first, and might move the dates 2 weeks or so. Last year, I only was able to purchase bulls after August 15th so it worked out that way. As for predators, so far so good...did not...

Guys, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the input...I am really learning a lot, and very grateful for that. I am not going to go into why I am stretching myself to the entire cycle, will just say that vertically integrated operation will be much more profitable and thus far much more sustainable here...

Guys and ladies, thanks a lot for your input. Mr. Judy or whoever, I understand that it all different depends on the circumstances. As for the locals, very little cattleman to see, and those who are to follow doing somethings I won't be able. They are very large farmers and by that I mean they...

Looks like we are going to have a very good discussion here:) Ok, why leave females with cows? I have calving season in June, so by January bull calves are 7 months old AND they start trying to breed...so there is a need to remove them...is it make any sense on this one? On the other hand...

acres is not the problem for me...what I want to do is to separate bull calves in January and leave females with cows...what is the issue here, I am not catching

Can you add some details? I almost went through one of the worst winter in the last few years and have not so much issues so far. What would you suggest to "rethink"?

Hi folks, Would be grateful to hear your opinion and answers to my questions. Ok, I started an operation both cow-calf and stockers. Lots of mistakes, but "hey, it is an experience". One and biggest mistake was that I brought stockers too late it started to snow and I did not have a chance to...
