Another person in a social media forum who happenes to be a few hours south of us said he was also approached by a mineral company as well. Same sales pitch, their stuff is from better quality source materials, their label shows true breakdowns. Also provided free imagery with nutritional...

I was told whatever the cattle secretes through urine and feces it eventually goes into the soil. Obviously I’m going to assume this takes a long time to accomplish. What I definitely like so far is the way we graze, we have grass during the summer months and never run out.

Good morning LVR, When we started grazing cattle the whole property was a forest/jungle. It was never used for anything except cattle grazing, I know the property layout pretty well, around 80% Obviously after many years of over grazing with no imputs I would assume soils degrade over time...

Just spoke to someone who mentioned the same thing to me. Apparently if the algorithms are done correctly what they do is they base the values on the color of foliage. But that’s only if the numbers are done or calibrated correctly based on region I was told. In theory it does work if it’s done...

Hi warren, my caretaker said he flew the drone over parts of our property but no samples were taken.

I don’t know if it’s the right forum but Can a drone with a special type of camera determine the nutritional value of pastures??? A few weeks ago I had a representative who is trying to get me to buy their minerals sent someone to do an assessment free of charge to check the condition of the...

Hi Colombian rancher. Our ranch is located in Guatemala about 250ft above sea level. I have one buyer who buys our cattle at 10-12 month old and he finishes them and sells to market. his place is around 4900 ft above sea level. He’s never complained about the cattle having a hard time...

Thanks for your comment the reason I asked is because we left a few calves with the paste for over 24hrs and placed gauze and tape around their heads to hold it in place, the next day there was bleeding. Scary! So we took it off. I don’t want to keep experimenting because I felt bad for those...

Just wanted some estimated times how long do you leave it in for. It’s being used on Brahmans. 6hrs 12hrs 24 hrs??? Thank you

Your not pestering, no worries. Many years ago we started breeding registered brahman bulls with Zebu cattle. Gyr,nelore, guzerat and Indu brazil commercial not purebreds, due to certain reasons my father was advised inappropriately(we started using commercial Brahmans) Our genetics or traits...

Omg yes!! Imported beef Rules over national. The reason is where it came from and what the steer was fed. For example...we only feed grass. Others feed chicken poop mixed with molasses and hay/corn. The slang term down there used is “we feed them chocolate” I refuse to feed ours chicken poop...

Northern Guatemala near the border entry/exit point with Mexico called El Ceibo.

I’m in nyc but our cattle are in Guatemala. Everything is sold locally or to usually someone who has a permit to bring cattle to local slaughter houses. None of the beef ever makes it too far away from our country. the furthest north it will travel will be to southern Mexico. None of it heads...

Koronivia grass (Brachiaria humidicola)

If I get brown tips I’m assuming I let it rest too long..does that sound right?? Is there a way for me to test the grass on-site and do some math to come up with Crude protein content?

Koronivia grass (Brachiaria humidicola) We call it humidicola. It’s not the best quality. I think it tops out at 8% protein at best. However it’s a great grass for areas that have terrible drainage, we don’t have it all over just the low areas. I’m actually going to seed 2 hectares of cayman...

75 days rest period. I think we over did the rest period, what do you guys think?? Too much?? I’m afraid grass probably doesn’t have the right amount of nutrients.

Jeanne Thanks a million!

Yes Kenny you are right. Thanks for good vibes!

We started Mid September which is still “rain” season. The hurricanes in the area have helped plenty with growth. My objective is to carry at least double the carrying capacity we have now and not have to worry about supplemental hay or silage for the dry season, which really take a toll on our...
