Big difference when you have 25 on 45 acres than 200 on 1000 acres. More interaction I think with the 25/45.

When I went from 1 to 25 it didn't feel like that much different with the exception of a hiefer I put up to make sure she is ready to breed well and a kid has a steer I help him with for a 4H project inside as well. I rotate 2 pastures 3 days in a row then off for 3 then back for 3 etc. If my...

Siz....If I brought that many head onto the property there would no longer be an "us" she would call me crazy...stupid... and good bye> Thats a lot of critters for 2 people.

Maybe we should have a gead count of "roos" mate as well. I will start I have 0

Just for the heck of it what numbers of cattle would you say are small (my answer under 20), medium (My answer 20-30) ,medium large (my answer 30-50), large (my answer 50-80) and the big one would be 80 +. Just want to see the perspective of others. I told someone I had a small herd 25 and they...

Have a limited number of nagga hide hunts available. You must book and be successful on 2 to have enough nagga to make nagga hide sofa so hurry now don't get shut out. Great deal beats all competition around here

I went on a snipe hunt in Tx, that was some fun.It was funny I got the same amount of snipe that I did nagga's. Be making that nagga hide sofa soon.

Looks great to me and the cattle aren't bad either

Good move hanging onto your feeders. We took a bath and the owners said we got most of the highest prices. I figure right now I am buyer not seller and not pay anything close to some of the posts here.

Don't listen to these people tlling you to py higher than sle barn. I wonder if they offer 20% over sticker price wwhen they buy a car. I just went to market and if someone would have offered me 20% less for any of them except 1 bull I would be spending that $$$$$ right now. I got guy 2 miles...

Going to the sale barn is a pain and makes the livestock lose a lot of weight from the stress of rounding them up. puttig on truck, the truck ride and the time in the pens then of course the ring tome. I had weighed a spring bull since I was trying to decide to keep (he was super just went...

This is exactly why I wrote on another forum that the advice is for high dollar breeders. We went to sale Tue and I know the owner she aid we got the best money not suprised though from what else came in. Oh yea those replacement heifers, the most I have paid is 700. The market was way off so...

Had to take a trip and stopped in a butcher shop looked like they were butchering a PETA so I stopped. They had tenderloins for the angus it was 50 but the Herford was 85 almost exact weight.

Make mine a herford please! Don't tell anyone that all my stock are angus

Doc, Thanks for the response. I completely understand what your saying. In a nut shell I just sold a bull that the only thiing the farmer could tell me was his sire was probally at McDonalds and his dam is in the pasture (I know own her). No epds or sos or anything other than he looked right and...

I like him. I want to make a small point here let me get my flame retarded suit on firts!! These boards I would estimate that for every person who has been doing this for years and full of answers there are 500 guys/gals that are running 10-25 head in their 50 acres. Seems like sometimes the...

They need to run another article, one where the reporter follows the farmer around and sees how hard everyone works to make a few bucks and how much losing one head of cattle costs the farmer. They should make it mandatory that the criminals have to pay the owner 3 x the cost of that animal...

Gee I didn't realize I have a $5000 bull. Looking at those pics and prices then for sure I got a $5 grand bull based on his price for that dog food meat. I don't mean to knock someone on their livestock since my herd is crossbred but I don't just let any tom, dick, or joe rest their chins on...

Wow, thanks for sharing. Based on the pics bet that was a great trip!

That is an easy question to answer. The purest bred cattle I know of never changes and always works. I have created this breed myself and it stays constant have never let anything else into the line. Every year late spring when I see the neighbors cows showing signs of heat I unhook the bottom...
