    Camp Cooley / In / out ?

We dont use horses, dogs, or herd them at all. i can walk all 150 or so mommas anywhere I need them to go but only 1 time a...

    Polled vs horned hereford ?

    I am looking to buy a horned hereford bull. Let me first profess my ignorance in the hereford breed. I AI'd my commercial herd to a horned hereford (Harland)and am looking for a top notch clean up bull that could be considered a herd sire. Do the polled have the same growth and hybrid vigor as...

    What's reasonable?

    I think a refund on the cattle is in line. the vet bills might be another story. I know some places will tell you to just sell them and they will give you a refund. They will argue that all that $ didnt have to be spent on vet bills.

This was just a small peice of straw that broke the back. there were lots of straw on the back, it got weak, and this is the result. This is just a small portion of the...

    Recipient Cows?

    the cheapest you will fidn is around $1000. Most people have the option to turn these calves down if they are not top notch calves. I use my best cows for recips, registered and commercial. Your recip is raising your best calves ten fold. If she won't raise a big calf, you are waisting that...

    How Camp Cooley Became.........

    I believe he found the ranch where it is located now after a hunting trip there. He has put a lot of money into one of the elite seed stock producers. A lot of my herd as well as anyone in the Breed has Brinks in the genetics.

    How much should I charge?

    I pay $1000 per weaned calf. They have to ratio high and be acceptable to me or I don't own them. This is so they make sure to take care of the calf and not just let them fend for themselves. That covers all cost and I just have to pick up the calf at weaning. With the influx of ET calf raisers...

    What's your favorite breed?

    I didn't know there was another type of cow besides brangus. No I think that each breed has a place in the market. I think you need to stick with the one you feel you can market and become as educated about the breed and STAY with that breed. All this switching and swapping, I don't see how...

    Breeding Thoughts

    If I remember correctly, shouldn't your commercial cowherd be carrying or raising your 700 ET calves by now. How are you going to sell these calves when you have already moved on to something different.
