So if I assume an average BW of 85lbs, it seems 2.3 to 2.4ADG is the norm from yalls data so far. Not every year is lush so I understand that is a factor as well. I am working on improving all of our pastures and adding legumes but really focusing on a 35acre weaning paddock of hybrid Bermuda...

What breed are they? Spring or fall calving?

I initially posted this in the nutrition forum but thought it may receive better responses here. So I’m curious to what y’alls typical weaning weights are and how is your program setup. I’m always interested to learn from others and their experiences. We are typically mid to upper 5 weight and...

We have a Foremost 450W with the tall manual headgate, palp cage and split tail gate. It has done well and is very sturdy. There is no doubt hydraulics are better but for 2x the funds I wasn’t sure I could justify it. As someone else mentioned the arrowquips were nice but when we priced one it...

I like the 1250-1350 mature range. Hopefully I will start AI’ing for 2019 breeding season

I know there are more factors than the sire but what are his daughters mature weight in good condition?

Have you thought about Simmentals or Simangus? I don’t have a ton of experience but I like what GW Robust sons have done in guys I know. I don’t have any idea how that would or wouldn’t work with char & gelbvieh though

I’m going to have to agree with that comment!

Most Americans need a click to be in and someone to follow.

It’s sad because all breeds “can/could” meet the same requirements + or - the hide but I sure love a good ribeye and can’t say I ever asked “what color was the hide”. I reckon we call it good marketing on their part. I like things about the angus breed but am not stuck on any breed they all have...

What were your thoughts on the Herf over the simangus? I’m sure our herds differ but May 1st I will be turning 2 Herefords into a group of simangus.

That was very well said, while I haven’t been around long enough to see it as you described I definitely notice most markets favor the certified angus beef which requires >50% black hide amongst a few other characteristics.

What recommendations were you given? Any reasons on lack of Hereford recommendations?

May i ask where your region is? I love the baldie crosses we have, they may not wean the >700lb WW (if you believe they are all grass) in the AI catalogs but they are easy keepers and dependable.

I to have heard numerous times of the old pink eye and cancer eye problems. I am by far considered a beginner compared to many of the veteran cattlemen on CT but I have more pink eye problems in my brangus than any other in “our” herd.

Can someone help me understand why Herefords aren’t utilized more often in crossbreeding programs except the legendary baldie. I know a lot of people don’t consider them as terminal sires but there are bulls that have a lot of performance in them, are they just late maturing. What about...
