I'm not saying you're wrong, but our pastures were less than two miles apart, and we fed the same hay.

That does seem extreme, but you never know. About 30 years ago my father bought a Brahman bull, wanting heifers from him. Dad kept him for 3-4 years and got around 75% bull calves. He had enough and said he was going to sell the bull. I told him I'd buy it and give it a try. I got about 75%...

A few years ago someone gave my daughter-in-law a goat. I don't know what she planned to do with it, but she eventually decided to take it to the auction barn, and asked me if I'd haul it for her. Of course I couldn't turn her down, but I was sure glad I didn't run into anyone I knew before we...

Those spots are pretty strong. I had a half Longhorn heifer given to me for some work I did around 1986. At one point I bred her to a Brahman bull and got a big white cow with some big reddish spots. I still have one of her daughters, from an Angus bull. She looks pretty similar to your cow...

The ones I've seen, which I'll say up front hasn't been a lot, are gray or mouse colored with a little ear.

I helped in the office a time or two when they had their special sales. I couldn't believe the prices those cattle brought. If I remember right they brought in buyers from hundreds of miles away. By the way, I sold my yearling Hereford x Black Brangus heifers to Mr. Theeck a year or two...

Good luck, and make sure you're through hauling before getting into the "etc".

Keep it if it's a heifer, and looks good. If it's a bull calf either sell it or eat it.

He was right. I've had a few I used on heifers, and they didn't have any trouble getting down a 28" wide chute.

Absolutely.

I've had it happen a time or two, but closing them up together in a small pen for a few hours has always gotten things straightened out.

A vet told me once most people would be surprised at how many calves are born backwards that we never know about. He said as long as they're coming feet first the cow can usually have them without much trouble.

I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but I don't believe that's a valid assumption.

I'll take those over long fat ones that a calf has trouble getting on.

They should have turned him out sooner. He needs some good groceries.

Cattle with a worm problem will often be late to shed their winter hair. That's the only thing I'm aware of.

No, I didn't. He wasn't crippled, just banged up a little.

Same here, but with Longhorn bull on Brangus heifers. When I was using a Longhorn bull on my black Brangus heifers I got a few with horns, but not many. And surprisingly enough (at least to me), about half of the calves would be solid colored too.

Like I said. Hereford on Brangus will produce polled calves. I don't care if the Hereford has horns or not.
