Had another small angus calf born today. 35-40 lbs maybe. You guessed it. Born breech. :nod: But mom had it and it's up and sucking. :D

None of the above. I just think they are superior with personal hygiene. :kid:

I say this because they stay in the ponds all day..........every day.

Got friend that was thinking about cloning a cow. For 3-4 cloned embryos he was quoted at $18,000.

From what I understand clones are no more alike the original genetically than identical twins. Phenotypically they may be different.

University of Georgia has done quite a bit of cloning. http://researchmagazine.uga.edu/summer2002/clone01.htm

When untangling legs, there is the chance of breaking/severing (damaging) the umbilical cord. You have to move fast because you don't know whether you have damaged the cord or not.

According to all of the research I have read, BW is significantly correlated to WW's. If someone can find something contradictory, by a reasonably respected source, please put it forward. I don't agree with this statement one bit.............. from personal experience. I have rearranged too...

Danged little angus calf was all legs. I had a heck of a time getting them in the proper position, even with a snare loop because she was pushing against me.

No twin. I guess it's plausible.........but not probable...............

Good calves. But a calf's phenotype at weaning can be deceiving. Have you ever retained your calves in a feedlot and sold on a grid? If not, you'll be surprised at how much you will learn when they are graded. I recommend it for large and small producers alike.................

to convince me that small birthweight calves have no bearing on abnormal presentations. Had an angus heifer last night that was close. Got her in the barn before dark. An hour later I came back, got her in the chute to check for irregularities and sure enough, both front feet were crossed and...

You may be right, but what damage is done to smaller producers while these big ones they are rolling? We will never know. Camp Cooley Ranch Southern Cattle Co. Three Trees Ranch The list goes on, and on, and on.

Two things come to mind first. The high cost of feed/grain does not deter the rancher who is using big time assets derived from other sources for tax write-offs. People perceive fatter/heavier cattle to be genetically superior. Ranch "eyewash" sells cattle. A buyer who visits a ranch with the...

A problem arises when your competition is ranching for hefty a tax write-off...........................

Thanks. I can point him in a direction, but all my potentially worthy bull calves are spoken for for a couple of years.

Was asked a question the other day and didn't exactly know how to answer. The question was: "If the USDA Grading system is based on fat content of meat, with higher fat content being better, why is Ground beef with a higher fat content so much cheaper than lean Ground beef"? I really had a...

Yours. :nod:

Your calves are fine looking. If you are satisfied with them, that's enough for me............................ ;-)

So why did you bring up the silly notion that the photographer was being less than "Truthful"?
