    Changes in the Cattle Industry

    I am doing some research for school. I'm analyzing literacy in a subculture. And I chose ranchers. Literacy can be internet, word of mouth, a book or any source of information. Cattle practices include: vaccination programs, vitamin and mineral programs, EPDs, AI and Embryo Work, animal...

    when to breed a cow

    Welcome! :welcome: They will get bred when they cycle. I would wait 60 days after calving to put the bull in so they can recover. But if you have no choice then they will get bred when they cycle (if they are in good body condition). I have had cows to cycle a week or two after calving and...

    Coyotes and calves?

    I had a 2 month old brahman/braford calf to disaappear over night I had new born 30-40lb calves born the day before they were unharmed. There were no signs of the calf. Mom was a brahman cow and was nasty when it came to her calf she was very protective. I think the calf was near the fence and...

    Our Operation past-present

    The reason we run more than 2 bulls for 50 head is our grazing habits and some of the breeding that we do. We split our cows into groups(10-15 in a group) and place each group in a different pasture. They can usually graze on that pasture until winter. I may move certain groups to new pastures...

    Our Operation past-present

    The post said I sold my last brangus cows this year and I plan to get more next year. The next paragraph was the breeding that could be done. The ultrablacks were what I produced before I sold my brangus and what I plan to produce when I have brangus again.

    Our Operation past-present

    You are correct that has been a big problem is selling a good cow who calved out of season. I have someone who checks on my cattle when I am not there,he may observe a few heats but not a large number of them. I like a little diversity in my herd,but I match each group of cows up with a bull...

    Bull being a bully.

    This is why they call them "herd" bulls. They herd the cows. I have seen my bulls do it a few times. It has never lasted more than a few hours. It has happened when calves were missing from the herd.(some calves didnt follow their mothers when moved to a new pasture.) It has never been a...

    Too much pasture per head?

    I had 12 head of 1st calf heifer pairs and 18 bred heifers on 50 acres one year and still got 2 cuttings(averaged about 100 rolls each cutting) and cows stayed in good condition. I wish Texas would have more years like that!!!!

    Want to start a registered brahman herd...any advice?

    I just started my registered polled brahman herd. I dont see a big problem with getting heifers if you get them from a very well known breeder and you ask around on bloodlines and learn what to look for in a brahman. Dinah weils at Hk cattle( Rosharon Texas) is an excellent person to talk to she...

    Bull behavior

    I have a brahman and nelore herd and a Nelore bull. IF he is acting quiet then there is nothing wrong with him. Do what every one else said and Walk around him, DO NOT walk directly towards his front . Let him know that you are the boss, by making him move away from you when you walk towards...

    Will a cow hide her calf

    I have two heifers that have been bagged up for about a month and still no calves. In the mean time 5 cows have calved who didnt start showing until about a week before they gave birth. If the cow is acting normal the calve should be ok. Cows and heifers are funny, they will make you think they...
