I use plastic 55 gal drums with ring type lids, I carry them to the feed mill and they fill them on the back of my truck. I normally by 5 drums at a time and when I get home I scoop it out of each barrel until half full and then slide them off the truck and keep doing this until I have them all...

I think thats a requirement to be a CEO of an oil refinery in the US.

The other probelm with this picture, the cost keeps going up on the input side and the fuel to get them there, who knows where that will be by the end of the year. I am selling all the steers for freezer beef, I have had good luck selling all of them from this years crop. I am trying to sell...

I was wondering what calving season do most people use in the south east. I am currently leaning towards going to all spring calving, I do like the fact that there is better forage for the cows and calves and the weather is much better and should reduce health issues.

They are 6x6 bales and Jimmy Jones in Ariton and he is selling it as fast as he can deliver, you want some , $50.00 per roll plus delivery Good coastal too. I have them delivered 1 roll at a time by a friend who has a larger hay dolly than I do. Mine won't touch them. I also have a hard time...

I have ten pairs in one pasture and they get one 2000 lb roll every 7 days, the calves are getting bigger now and it will probally drop to 6 days per roll. I am not feeding any grain, just a protein tub with free choice minerals. The average is normally 25-30 lbs of hay per day per cow or...

Did you creep feed those first calvers? I only fed them a little to keep them coming to the house to keep an eye on them daily. I only gave them about 1 1/2 lbs per day of soy hull pellets.

I'm confuesed are you feeding the first calvers or their calves? The first calvers, but the 6-7 week old calves are eating some of the feed also. So I guess both is the answer to your question.

Mike, I am doing some feeding now on the heifers that have just calved. I feel they are under a bigger demand to produce milk for the calf and they are still growing. I notice the calves are starting to eat some of the feed and are eating more hay, none of the heifers are close to being fat, I...

Spoken by a well trained Hubby, and don't forget to pick up your dirty clothes. I think that may be describing me too. :lol: :lol:

Don't forget to stuff the sweet tater in his mouth.

Walt, I have a Brangus cow about her age and she looks much worse. I am sending her to the sale barn in a few weeks, mainly because I need to cull a few more because of hay management. She does raise a great calf every year too. Hey, is that an out house you have on stilts :) I am wore out...

Joy, I would take a calf like that in a heartbeat, like CB said if someone comes looking for it later. Give it back and maybe they will return the favor one day.

Just wait until you find the mama at the water trough and no baby to be found anywhere. They love to hide them out the first few days and the babies don't move from where mama left them until she comes back for them. The best site is watching them run and play in the pasture. Mine seem to...

Congrats I hope I never get to where a new born calf doesn't make me smile , I had one born yesterday afternoon and I was out last night checking on the calf and especially the mama. She went down last year from calcium deficiency and we had to give her an IV to get her back on her feet...

The next time you buy a hamburger at McDonalds, let me know if it was from a KILLER bull or cow. I have never had a problem with this bull and I have been in the pasture with him and he was never aggresive in any way. We never know what will set them off, this post was mainly to remind people...

And they sure go nuts when you have to use the chain saw to get them out. I had a Brangus cow do that last year and I thought she was going to tear her head off trying to get out of the fork.

My bull is no pet and had never been treated as one, I have some pets though and they only weigh between 50 and 90 lbs and they bark. :roll: :roll:

I have 1 char steer that I started weaning 45 days back and he is so calm and it's rare to hear him bawl for his mama. He is to busy eating the good hay I have for him and my bull. He weighed 650 lbs at 6 month 13 days and he has never had anything besides mama's milk and grass and hay/ He is...

I had a scare Tuesday afternoon when the vet came over to look at my bull to see what was causing him to drag his right rear hoof. (the vet told me I was seeing things) I was trying to get him out of the holding area he has been in for about 6 weeks and moved to the working pen to let the vet...
