You gotta point TB - them and store bought tomatoes... just the texture is different. lol Blessings Valerie

We butcher bulls only, less backfat and grow faster than steers - at least I've heard they do. Anyway, we butcher at frame score x 100 + 500lbs. 6 frame would be butchered at 1100lbs. lol, we get close, depends on when the butcher can get us in. Since we breed for marbling, bulls always...

Corn is $4.60 here a couple days ago.

The problem is high energy feed.... you much slowly change their rumen bacteria back to digest grass/hay.. If you don't they will fall apart. We feed ours a high fiber diet so they can grow but will not fall apart when turned out to pasture. Blessings Valerie

Your welcome and how do you add a sticky note? Blessings Valerie

Yes, thanks for the info. Is Amaferm a man made chemical? Also, since it works differently than the yeast culture do I assume I should leave it in the feed? Blessings Valerie

Doc said to add 1/2 lb soybean meal per cow per day for lactating cows. He thought they might be getting about a 1lb of protein from hay (HOPE) 1.2lbs protein from grain mix and rest of needed 2.5-2.7 lbs protein per cow would come from the soybean meal. Plan on feeding molasses tubs with...

http://msue.anr.msu.edu/resources/what_can_i_afford_to_pay_for_feeder_cattle_during_2012-2013 Maybe this will help those of you wanting to buy feeders and then make money when you sell them. LOL. Good Luck Blessings Valerie

They are picking up the cattle tomorrow. I was told they could "afford" to pay $750 for feeding the animals... never could get her to say that was fair, she just kept saying that was what they could afford. Looks like I need to come up with a contract for buyers to protect both parties. Never...

What about the hay at $$$ per bale (1 per cow per month and square for calves), city water - unreal -molasses tubs and grain and salt blocks....???? Valerie Not enough grass so had to dry lot them...makes it even more expensive that's why were selling off some animals!!!! Blessings Valerie PS...

Thanks, that's kinda why I sent the bill-lol- I figured it might just hurry them up. I figured what we spent just o keep those cows for them for 2 months and I had a heart attack!!! $750 per month for 5 cows and calves on creep feed. If I had the pasture to put them on and ponds it would not...

They bought them as cow calf pairs and we understand they would pick them up in a few days... that was 6-13-2012!! Blessings Valerie

Finally got a response.. fence is finished and they are ready for animals. BUT!!! Not happy with xtra $1300 I charged to feed and take care of them. They don;t think they can come out . What do you think is fair to charge for 6 weeks of caring for, feeding hay, grain, lick tubs and salt blocks...

How about the house! :) Valerie

Just sold sides at $2.80 lb hanging weight... includes processing except kill charge. If they want heart, liver, tongue, they pay the $2.80 per lb for that also. Valerie

They offered to pay the first week but we felt the $3600 was enough to hold the girls for them. Sent letter this morning... we shall see. If nothing else maybe they will HURRY!!! Valerie

I figured I'd bite the bullet and see what happens. Didn't want to sell them in the first place but drought bit me hard and I figured being neighbors... well..you know. Never guessed this would happen. Valerie

Thanks guys I really appreciate your input. They have paid $3600 down on them so far. I have a quickbooks program so made an invoice for the sale of the animals to them, the money they paid down on them , 2 weeks free board and then 4 weeks to be paid for. I've already talked to them and it's...

I'd lose my you know what if I took them to the barn, they paid $8800.00 for the 3 registered Angus pairs and 2 Angus cross pairs. They'd lb them out at the salebarn...OUCH! I'd be better off keeping them..heard the prices will likely go sky high about time to wean the calves. I sure hate to...

Sold a neighbor 5 cow calf pairs 6-15-2012. I'm still waiting for them to pick them up. I called several weeks ago and they said they did not have the new fence ready - I wasn't told about the fence when they bought the cows, never thought a problem as they have 10 cows now? Tried to get ahold...
