I don't know what to say, all I can do is shake my head and laugh. I think you might need a course in simple biology, everyone has to eat. I just wasn't aware that the first thing everyone gave up when stocks went down was food. I just know that this isn't the can do rural American spirit that...

Doc, Evidently you had this forum confused for a place where people can discuss serious cattle issues. It's obviously just a sounding board for our resident soothsayer to predict yet again the sky is still falling and will continue to do so for sometime to come. The issue of the available pool...

Not sure about numbers yet, but you can bet I'll be looking to improve if I can. This isnt' going to last forever, and I'm not highly leveraged. I don't believe in buying nothing for the farm I can't pay cash for. Keeps me out of trouble. Now are you saying this is going to last forever and we...

Doc, Sound advice as usual. Nothing is ever gained by doing something in a panic. HerefordSire, now that you have predicted the end of the cattle industy as we know it and throughly convinced me that the sky is indeed falling, do you care to take it one step further and predict the end of the...

Doesn't have mean that there has been a shift in anything other than some large established Hereford breeders are getting up in years. New ones will come along to replace them. If there is any shift in Hereford breeding it needs to be toward working cattle instead of show stock, with too large...

try this site. http://www.ababeefalo.org I don't breed them. I did look into them extensively in the past. There are a couple of people on here that do raise them. I'm sure they will be glad to answer all your questions.

I usually stay out of this, but here goes. Here's the point. How would you feel if you found out that the Ford you were driving was just a Chevy that was "certified" to be a Ford? Or that it was just any car from anywhere that “met Ford’s standards” and was therefore certified to be a...

If I'm reading it correctly, they had tried DeShazer bulls in the past and this time bought some out of Canada. To answer the question at hand, I think it'd be unlikely all 5 bulls would be unsound as well, unless there was a reason they were sold that far from home. I don't know about...

buy glasses and get a better attitude

I thought she looked good at the sale, and as I recall you did alright on her.

I purchase replacements. The reason is I have a breeder not far from me that steers all bull calves, and only keeps the top 3 heifers for show. I hand pick from what he doesn't want, which are still pretty good stock. Since he's keeping show stock, I'm getting the moderate framed ones which I...

I can just envision it now, all the Angus people huddled together saying, "This gives me an idea, how about Certified Angus Cheese." :D

Frankie: I'm not trying to get into this argument in any way, just looking at facts. If Hardees doesn't use CAB and just uses angus beef, is it AngusSource or how do they verify the origin? Thanks

Hill, Just a guess, but your eyes are brown aren't they? :D

I'll never be jealous of fantasy herds and monopoly money. What I do respect greatly is honesty. It's all I have to say on this subject. Have a great day.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but, If you sold your whole herd a short time ago, started fresh with new high quality stock, How could you have very many culls already? Second, if your selling "culls" to pay the bills and Christmas, where's the money for the Blond bull coming from...

Copied from http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publica ... A-3074.pdf Cattle buyers often discount calves for the presence of horns. Results from the 2000 Arkansas Livestock Market Survey indicated that polled or dehorned feeder calves sold for an average of $1.49/cwt. more than horned cattle...

East St Louis is terrible, but there are parts of St Louis on the Missouri side I wouldn't want to be in without two mean dogs and a 45.... and a flack jacket... and a kevlar helmet.... and... you get the idea.
