    Your thoughts on this bull's EPD's....

    Everything there looks great, but I would like to see the rest of the EPD's. There are alot of bulls with those type of numbers, now lets look at ma, re, cv, sc, st, etc. You are only showing 1/2 the picture. Also, the most important thing, what the heck does his confirmation look like. If I...

    Ok don't laugh

    If you are going to palpate her make sure it is a rectal palpation (poop chute). Put on a O.B glove (36") a little Lube, and go expirement. Be Gentle. It won't hurt her and you may learn a little. It would be good to google Beef palpation 1st to help you learn anatomy. Gotta go eat supper. Let...

    REPLACEMENT BREEDING

    If you like everything else about her than keep her. If she gets too big for you than sell her. It's not like she will screw up you heard.

    source and age verified

    JRS informed me they are looking at private enterprise. PVP for their Age/Source in lieu of QSA. Wish everyone would get on the same page. It is confusing enough without this Bovine Scatology. :tiphat:

    Feed Yard

    The average cow would eat about 30 lbs/day. Depends on what you are feeding. 25 lbs of hay. If it's good hay thats it. If it's poor it may need supplement. For finishing I feed 2% of body weight of a grain mixture (1000lbs = 20 lbs). And free choice hay. Water is most important. They won't eat...

    something to ponder

    There are also professionals that I tend to call very bad managers, and fairly knew hobbiest that are doing a great job. I have both types of them close to my ranch. So much for who is the responsible one. The pro has 150 head at a pasture up the road and rarely checks em or feeds em. He has...

    Carcass quality can be influenced early

    I think weaning at 150 days sounds great, as it is also better for the cow. But at what cost? How much feed would a 150 day old calf need to gain 100 lbs more at 210 days? It would be interesting to see the actual research paper. Creep feeding is okay, but does it pay today with the high cost of...

    This thread is interesting for me , because the first time in my life I have screwed up my foot. Big time. I have been wearing Justin Boots. For 5 years.

    Shooting cows with birdshot

    Just for the heck of it. Every watched some of those folks over in Africa stick an arrow in the jugular of a cow and drain a huge amount of her blood to drink or mix with their food or the beer they're making? Heck National Geographic calls it "tradition" or "survival". Now I know they are ot...
