How much more will a cow weigh the first of april when she is gonna calve,, if her 3 year old weight in first trimester is 600lbs.? She's in trouble!

80 head of 2-3 year old heifers could only average 600 lbs to fit on a pot. Really??? You're telling that's a money maker? Looks like a disaster to me!

If your gonna sell wagu calves, you gotta have an outlet for them. Your talking a 50 cent or more dock at the local sale barn. Research Circle A and see what their offering. Buying a wagu bull, and just crossing some angus will fail miserably. GS

Why seed fescue every year, James. My farm was all fescue from neglect until I began building the ground up with rotational grazing, overseeing, rolling out bales, mowing and fertilization. Now all brom, Timothy, clover, birdsfoot, nearly no fescue. Fescue managed right can have its pluses, and...

Might do that. When I see the Florida state line sign , I'm 6 hours from my house. On 231 tho'.

WOW, don't know what else to say. Actually thought about contacting ************* and Ron and TT, when I head to Florida next time, and see the operations. He77, I'm afraid I may not be smart enough, I don't want to be talked down to. Hmmmmmm.

Do you put a freeze brand on all your bulls and cows? I have a complete set of 4" numbers and letters, just takes so much time to do it!! What do you use to freeze them? Now that I'm retired i hope to have time to do it again. Of course, as my wife says, "Gotta' learn to say no, or you're...

Hopefully, you don't truly think the bigger, successful breeders troll on this forum to see what is being said about their operations!!! If you combined all the brood cows of the regular posters, I doubt it would total 2,000 head. We're very small fish, what most on here think matters to no one...

I have trouble figuring out why the potentially biggest and best Angus breeder in a whole state gets on a chat room like Cattle Today and spouts his rhetoric to us peons. Why aren't the Schaffs, Herbsters, Sidenstrickers, and such regular visitors? Don't they know this is where it's at? Big...

Couldn't be sold, no DNA test. Thought you were a real world cattle breeder and would know that.

Walnut, I wish I liked your breed of cattle, I always liked what you had to say about breeding them. GS

I wonder, if using America and you are a seedstock producer, are you mating him with females whose EPDs and phenotypes will enhance the offspring, or are you simply using a name to sell offspring. No herd, anywhere, has even half of there females that would be the ideal cow to mate with him...

Did anyone on this thread have angus cattle in the late 70s or early 80s? I did, and I remember the grand champion bull at Denver one year, I wish I could remember the bulls name for reference, but Bill is 6'4" tall and you could just see his eyes in the picture when he stood behind him. Had...

I agree with AJ, feed them out yourself. Then you will think a $200 a head discount is in your favor!!!

I think something happ happened to what I thought I posted. Boot said it all. Nearly any breed can be worked on to produce big calves.. Years ago, when I had Nichols breeding, I routinely had 100 lbs calves and no trouble. Cows got too big, though. Had a plus 6 BW bull I found could be us on...

Sounds like you're breeding Tony to his daughters? Do all Murry cattle have small birthweights, or are you using calving ease? Like the cattle. gs

I just can't get around the "fooling" the buyers. Why does someone raising longhorns want their buyers to think their cattle are something they are not? jmho gs

I don't know that the public is so much convinced, as we, the producers are. gs

Fine lookin' calves, but I'll ask again. The feedlots I know and am around, which is several, have a standing order,"No Longhorn cross calves." Fine looking calf in the picture, but why? If he's trying to sell weaned or whatever calves, why not keep a cow that will cross with the BB bull he has...
