I would consider sire/daughter to be the same thing as son/dam matings. But there's only 1 dam being bred by her son, whereas the sire has many daughters to hit. 25% shared is better than 50 or 75%, my brain isn't math'n very well yet this morning. Don't put too much stock in my ramblings. But...

What say you about the theory that there is all the P and K in the soil we could possibly need. It's just a matter of the nutrient cycle being way out of back due to the neglect and abuse of the last 300 years. Needs to be pulled up into the top 6 inches of soil. I think the NPK testing is...

On a serious note, I've had what I'd consider the bovine's version of down syndrome here on 10% or 20% of the father/daughter matings. They have a dink body and a very oddly specific face structure/shape. That's the reason I decided to try keeping a bull calf in tact. Much less close...

Got to have an available safe space for us all! 🤔 🤪

This has been a fun read. 😆

My setup gives me two options for loading the trailer. I can do a straight shot next to the alley way leading to the chute, or I can run them down the alley way and through the side door on the chute and into the trailer. Seems to me they do much better when they cannot see the trailer til...

I let a young bull breed his momma, 2 aunts, and 3 half sister this go round. One was his sister/cousin/and aunt I think. Lol. We shall see. I let a bull breed his daughters a few times the last few years, I didn't much like the outcome. Had a few dinks from that. I think the brother deal is...

I kept the yellow one just for you, Kenny 😃 My aunt has some cows that he'd do well on I think. They're all red and yellow. He and the other two still may get a band yet though.

I did work them on Thursday. Hancock County CO-OP hooked me up with Bar-Vac, which they'd given me last time. Also hit them with a second dose of Pyramid. Hopefully the time lapsed doesn't kill their potential protection. The first bull I did had the biggest nuts of all. Had to use the...

I'm headed to the Co-Op now. Hopefully they've got something I can use. I hadn't thought about the availability aspect. It was definitely hard to find it a few months back.

Jonesville and Knoxville are my preferred places to sell. Hard to beat Jonesville if you've got what their buyers want. Get home in time for supper with check in-hand.

Normally, i band with the first tetanus shot, but am trying to do better. Can't afford to lose any now. Lol I worked calves about 3 months ago. Tags and shots. Had all intentions of getting them up 3 weeks later and doing the booster and banding same day. My question...the 8 or 9 way had...

Magic!

I'd love to find one that was geared that way for some guidance.

I share in @Ky hills thoughts. We are looking at 4 degrees Monday night. I dread it oh so badly. If the wind keeps up like it has been the past week the cows will have me concerned. Really don't have any sort of wind breaks here. I've opened them up to the corral hoping it'll knock some wind...

Anyone know how they turned em white? I do prefer the black trimmed grays over all blacks for obvious reasons.

Nothing better than a steak out of a cast iron skillet cooked with bacon grease. I've been melting garlic butter on the steak as soon as I let it rest. Plate is filled with a wonderful dipping sauce... I'm making myself hungry. 😃

Can I ask what they get on that beef? Price wise... Marbling isn't one bit correlated to tenderness in my humble opinion. I could be dead wrong in saying that.

I've fed out some charolais, Limousin, simmental, Angus, and hereford. All have looked the same once unzipped. Haven't seen a longhorn or corriente (sp?) unzipped before. So can't speak on that. I've never tried wagyu. But would like to. It sure is pretty.

I drink a quart of milk every evening. Hardly touched it between the ages of 5 to 30. Now I crave it at night.
