No offense to Bill et al but I don't know of anyone who uses longhorn blood in their commercial herd. I've heard the sales pitch, I just don't know of anybody who does it. The longhorn folks on this board, to my knowledge, are catering to a niche market and don't claim to be raising commercial...

Well if the dairy breeds don’t count (overall IMO #1 = Jersey, #2 = Holstein) I would go with Limi or Bramer. But, the meanest we've ever owned was a Hereford. http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic. ... c&start=26

Maybe she doesn’t want to narrow it down too much. Lots of flakes on the www and she might not want to give them directions to her world. I’ll go on record that red will bring what black brings in my area also, all other aspects being more or less equal. Heck, a good yellow calf or Hereford...

True, to a point. But it needs to be controlled. If and when the idiots get thick enough around here, not only will serious cattle folks stop reading the idiot posts, they will stop participating. There comes a point where it’s not worth it. I sure as @#$%& am. He stands against all I...

Interesting post Texan. It’s obvious that that dingus won’t leave on his own so I hope Macon will TCOB. I hope this place can return to honest discussions and Q&A from real cattlemen (women included in that term of course). It desperately needs to. Even the political discussions are...

Leave or get your butt thrown out. Doesn't matter which way. Dang this is getting old fast with the idiots around here that don't have anything to say about ranching and just clog up the boards. Killing bandwidth with idiotic crap. I don't mind the general feedstore talk, even the politics...

A prairie runner looks a lot like a rattler at first glance. Like the old boy said, they won’t hurt you but they can sure make you hurt yourself. Craig-TX

hmmmmm. Must be "farming his way into the future." Craig-TX

LOL. True, true. Craig-TX

OK... Why? How stupid of me. Craig-TX

Glad you pointed that out. I'd be curious to learn why cows with lineback should be culled. Craig-TX

This is another one of those questions where more than one answer can be right. You’ve just got to figure out what the right answer is for you and your setup. We’ve always used bulls 100% but that’s because of time more than anything else. Someday I might take the classes and learn to do it...

Just for fun I’ll concur with both replies. Something about how those ears are cocked. She’s good looking but there’s something about her aspect that says she’s getting ready to start pawing the earth and shaking her head. OK, I too am ready to hear that she’s meek as a kitten. Never have...

Ha! Not to mention making a mess for somebody else to clean up. Craig-TX

We have a few (no bulls) and they’re just like Heinz 57 dogs. Most turn out to be decent mutts. Every once in a while you’ll get a useless cur. Craig-TX

Or if you run multiple bulls. We buy them young for the same reason, they are much cheaper. Just because you put a youngster out there doesn’t mean he has to pull all the weight himself from day one. When he builds up to 100% you can sell the older boy. Craig-TX

Not a small mind, a legitimate question. Producers typically don’t weigh their calves. Breeders do because they need to keep stats, but if you’re running a cow/calf operation you’re generally not too concerned with birthweights. You’re more concerned with what they weigh at selling time...

Yeah, whatever. Craig-TX

cattle_gal, you’ve blown some fairly serious smoke in other threads but in this particular exchange you got way out of line. Don’t tell somebody here they “sound like those predator lovers” and carry on with all that condescension talk and expect them to lay low. Craig-TX

I live in central Texas like it says under my avatar. Where do you live that your seeing and killing 85-100# coyotes running in packs of 15 to 20? I’m very curious. Craig-TX
