Hey Mike C. I could believe what you said about CharX calves if we had not had the same problem with Angus calves. The only thing is that the CharXs are so much bigger at the same age than our Angus calves, I thought they would be too big to get through 3 hot lines and a ground line but I am...

If that had been my story, I would have finally got the calf to the gate and my dogs would be standing at the gate nipping its nose and driving it to distraction. Herd dogs they aren't. I enjoyed your story. :lol2:

We have a 3 strand electric fence with a 4th strand as a ground wire that will not hold calves. These calves average 450 - 500 pounds. The fence will hold bulls and cows but the calves walk through it at will. Is there an electric fence that will hold calves? Thanks for any help.

I like the length and thickness. He looks good to me. Good luck with him.

Thanks to all of you for the nice responses. Wewild, I think I accept the advice today about the same as I did at first. The difference is my skin has grown thicker and I'm not shocked when the advice doesn't come wrapped in honey.

This may not be the proper place for this post but it does have to do with beginners. Today I was looking over our farm records from past years and was reminded of an old saying: "God takes care of fools and drunks." We aren't drunks. When we started out in 2000, we were not completely strangers...

Very nice. Good luck with the little bull. :!:

That is a pretty calf. The cows are nice, too. I love Angus cattle. Black cows and green grass are good for what ails you. However, we have some pretty smokies this year.

I'm no show calf judge but she sure looks nice to me. Good luck with her.

Now that is the way kids and calves need to be raised. All three are so cute. :clap:

Now that is a good post with useful tips.

We have a heifer that managed to get through a two wire electric plus a barbed wire plus a single wire electric fence to get into the neighbor's pasture but was scared to death to come back across when we let the fences down. Our calves this year have crawled through our electric fences like...

I don't know where I should post this but I thought it was interesting. We took 10 steers and 8 heifers to the sale in Opp, Al. two weeks ago. All the calves except one were black. They ranged in wt. from 350 to 470. The steer that looked very much like a limousine was the best looking one with...

I would have thought Angus/Brangus instead of F1 Angus Brahman but she looks awfully good to me. I have a few (too few) that look a lot like her. She is my kind of cow.

The bull looks good to me. Those calves are beautiful.

That is a beautiful black calf and the mother looks good too. Congratulations.

Doggone it! I just got back from buying my lavendar oil and now you tell me it's a joke!!! :D

We lost a cow and calf to buzzards. They pecked the calf's eyes out and ate the vulva and rectum on the cow. It was terrible. I hate those things.

I sure hope one can get a good bull for less than $2500.00. We are looking for one to use on small to moderate size AngusX cows but $2500.00 is more than I can pay.
