Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We had a heifer put up in about a 3 acre lot, to calf, along with some breeding age heifers and a bull. Went to feed them Saturday morning, and all came running to the troughs except this pregnant female. Saw her slowly approaching from behind the...

One of my best cows had twins Saturday. This was the 6th set of twins on our place in 8years, but this was the first case I witnessed being born. Nerve Racking. This was the first case the mother would not accept one. I thought we had it made after the second one was born and the first began...

HD, I have some hereford charolais cross animals, and they come from charolais cows. I don't have a problem with Charolais cows. The ones I have milk fine and are not picky eaters. The best I have ever done was Hereford bull on Char cows. Currently have about 5 pureblood Char cows and 5...

Very nice calf Lauralee. Can't ask for more than that. Was the calf creep fed or all mother and grass?

Thanks for the comments, but things did not go as planned. We will not get a chance to see how she will perform this time around. The calve had to be pulled and was dead. I had separated my hereford bull and my black bull. The black bull is strickly a calving ease animal. The hereford not...

Thanks to all for the insight. The bull side is braunvieh with good milk numbers and the dam always raises a good calf. I rarely keep any first calves from heifers, and usually sell them a little early. Hope to see a calf soon. She has a water bag showing now. If this one turns out like...

Thanks Ga. I would say she did do a good job raising her calves. Hope mine will do well also. I don't keep many calves from first time mothers. But, would like to see a healthy calf.

I may have dropped the ball on this one. I have an F-1 braunvieh x charolais heifer, that will calf any day. She is about 27 months old and a great looking yellow female. While looking her over yesterday, I noticed she only had one teat on the left side. No nub or scar, just one well shaped...

I like your wife's cow. Would like her more without the horns. She is a tall one. F-1 brafords, guess your wanting a heifer, the queen of the south.

GB, pretty calf. I like those gray white face calves. That a simbrah cow?

greybeard, I did raise F-1 simbrah. Had some pure blood simmental cows and the V-8 bull. The cross worked well for me. Had a little calving problem using the brahman bull. I have one F-1 simbrah left now. Sold most of my simbrahs during the drought of 2012. They always weaned the biggest...

I had a 189/4 son once. He was a fantastic bull. I never had any calving issues out of brahman cows. My simmental cows were a different ball game. Lost a few and pulled a few calves, lost 1 cow and 1 heifer. A person should use caution when breeding a brahman bull over english or...

Does anyone have any experience with this bull, Reg AAA 15914543? I have purchased a son of this bull for my heifers, Braunvieh and Braunvieh cross. Hoping to get low birth weights and most will be sold via the sale barn.

Thought this would interesting for all to see. Check it out. http://5newsonline.com/2013/10/29/rare- ... rd-county/

That was a good article, Lucky.

I like Charolais cattle and I like your calves. Our last 3 sets of twins were from Char cows. One of those cows, had back to back sets. You have had a fantastic calving year. Congratulations. We are looking forward to seeing calves from our Bruanvieh x Char cross heifers this fall. They'll...

Every bull is different, but, I bought one from a breeder with v-8 bloodlines at 7 to 8yrs old.He had him since weaning. I used him 3 yrs an sold him back to the breeder, who kept another 2 yrs. No problems with him. One of the best dollar purchases I have made. Only cost me $200 for my use...

JC, I feel your pain. I came through a few showers Sunday within a few miles of the farm. We got nothing that registered. It does look as though we may get a second cutting on our leased pasture. You are right about the ponds looking bad. I hope CB is on target with tropical storm. JC what...

How about Pebbles & Bambam.
