Question about the mobile-do they haul off the offal or do they leave it at the slaughter site? Our ranch butcher takes whatever you don’t want. The only thing he does leave is the stomach contents. Hide, head, hooves, organs etc all goes with him unless you want it.

Thanks for the comments on the cows. No drought, just typical California summer. No chance of rain until probably November or so. Don’t know if you all have been seeing or reading about the California wildfires but they are bad and they are to the North and to the South of us. California is a...

Did some work on water lines this morning then rolled out the first round bale of hay. Parked the quad and ate my lunch just kinda hanging out with the girls. Nice way to spend some time.

Thanks all for the responses. Have a great weekend!

Thank you TC

We usually wait three months to vaccinate new born calves. This year we are running into some time frames/schedule conflicts where we either vaccinate calves early at 1-2 weeks old or not until the calves are around 6-7 months. Anyone have experience giving new calves shots at 1-2 weeks old? We...

Thank you all. We have decided to take him and his mom back to the auction yard with the other pair we now have and send them down the road. Invest the money into something we really want for the future. Again, thanks for the honest feedback.

Thank you for the responses. We have his Dam but not much more then that. Picked her up bred and she calved two weeks later. Other then that don’t know much about her or the Sire. Just thought maybe we’d get lucky. Pics don’t really do him justice but i do believe when we do need a herd bull we...

This is a three month old bull calf born March 14. He’s gaining pretty well and we are considering keeping him a bull and see how he turns out. What are your thoughts on this guy?

Thanks all,,, we are in the Salinas Valley, heart of the vegetable growing land. Chances are some of the lettuce you all get originates right here where we are. Grass is browning up as i type this. Couple more weeks and the cattle will be on the north slope hills under the trees or in the...

Very nice indeed

I spent the day checking troughs and fence. Took a couple pics along the way. California cattle enjoying a nice spring day

We have a chance to pick up twelve 12' foot Powder River panels and 2 bow gates for $2000.00. All are in good condition and have the pins to connect them up. We have a Powder River squeeze but recently lost the working pen panels. (Long story) Seem like a fair price? Thanks for your responses

Thanks Ranchman,,, We baught them October 18th. At the time one was 480lbs and the other 510lbs. The smaller one does not seem to be gaining as well as the larger. Not sure if he's just younger or what? They came off of different places so maybe the genetics just aren't in the smaller one to...

These are our first attempt to fill the freezer from our own steers. Have these guys on about 10lbs of grain and corn, free feed oat/pasture hay (round bales) and they do a little browsing on grass when they feel inclined to get up from resting under their favorite trees in their pasture. They...

Hello, One of Our Highland heifers gave birth two weeks ago to our first ever bull calf. Both are doing well. We run our bull year round with our two girls. I'm wondering how soon after delivering her first calf will our new mom be ready and capable of being breed again?
