I know I kind of asked this but, what is Zero then? And do you get these numbers from the calf weights or the average of the parents? J+

So is Zero the average of the Breed? And why do they have weaning weight epd and milk epd's if both measure the weight of the calf at weaning time? J+

Yes Sir or Mam, I was wondering how they come up with all of those epd numbers. Birthweight, milk, etc. I have always been curious about that! J+

I have never registered anything before but can someone explain it to me. I know I pay a fortune for those numbers and I would love to know how they come up them. J+

Feedlots want nothing to do with limo cross cattle. They take to long to finish and as everyone has said the are nuts. To much of a problem. I have some hereford cows that run with my shorthorn bulls and they have dang good calves. Most people think that i am nuts with the shorthorns but I can...

How big of a pasture are you going to put them in. I have my bulls (five) on about a hundred acre pasture during the winter. They are about the same age though and I have no problems with them. But, I promise you that when I get young bulls they go in a lot by the barns for at least the first...

Even if you don't register him, you can always sell him as a bull. There are alot of old cowmen that buy purebred bulls that aren't registered and turn them out with there commercial herd. They are always looking for Angus bull calves that they can use for a bull. Most of them have really good...

How does that compare with the amount a good old fashion bull puts into a cow in one shot? J+

You will be fine. I help a guy that runs a lot of feeder calves and buys them at about 500-600 lbs. He usually gets them as bulls and there is always about 10% that someone has tried to band and missed a nut. We go right ahead and cut them. But after you cut the sack, try to find one of those...

Those are very good points. The other problem I have with not having a calving season is that my summer grass is not that close to my home place. I am set up good to winter my cows and calve my cows at home but then I take them to grass. I like to have my records with my computer also, but if a...

All that I know is that last year with my heifers I started calving in the middle of August with my fall herd and I am just about finished calving now with my spring herd. I had bought some of these heifers and never again will this situation happen. I had calves that entire time and it flat...

If you are going to put them in the same pasture with the mama's, I would say at least one month. I do mine for two weeks but they are going to a different pasture than the cows. Any heifers I keep back will be away from the cows for almost a year before they are in the same pasture again. Take...

I was just wondering what a person could do to make the floor of a stock trailor less slick. I move cattle and had a cow down when I got to the pasture. Thanks for the input! J+

There is also a shot that you can give them isn't there? i believe we squeezed the warts and also gave them a shot. J+

Sould they have some kind of a protien supplement. I just want them to stay in good shape for the next 2 weeks. Thanks J+

I agree with everything that you are saying about the above ideas on cows. That is your way and it seems like it works well for you. i know some people that do the same things and have done very well. Myself, I raise all of my replacements and just keep switching bulls. But I don't have very...

Salebarns are great if you have a good one close to you. We have some and I have bought and sold at them. my neighbor sales everything through superior and swears by them. He does get a great price and he does not have to worry about shipping them. Oh yea, superioir is a video sale. A rep comes...

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions about what I should feed my fall calves for a couple of weeks before I send them to grass. Thanks! J+

Thanks to everyone for their input! J+
