It is common practice to bid on your own cattle in my area to my knowledge. Usually on feeder or replacement cattle, but I've seen it a lot on weigh cattle. I've seen it go one step farther--a guy will bid on his own cow and if he gets stuck with the final bid, he'll try to put the bid back on...

been feeding hay for a couple weeks. Had no rain in May early June. Got a couple inches of rain this week, so grass should grow again. Got 1/3 of usual hay when I baled.

Thirty years ago we used blueticks, black and tans, english, anything that would run a coyote. We have gone now to running walkers some with a little treeing walker in them. Right now today we do have one bluetick hound, but he is used as a cold trailing hound. We put him on the best coy...

Been following this thread--gotta put my 2 cents in. I've hunted coyotes with hounds for about 30 years now. I've trapped a few coyote, but was never consistent. I live and hunt within sight of Wolf Island, Ontario, CAnada. Hunt US only, but kill canadian yotes, I'm sure. In December of...

Sounds like PLR's cattle are more or less pets--there's nothing wrong with that. When a person likes their pets a lot it's a "till death due us part" situation usually, you know. We've all been there and done it only usually it's a dog or canary or something smaller then a cow.

Check the cows morning and evening. Checked them at dark yesterday and everyone seemed ok. The earliest I should have gotten any calves is Feb. 24 based on when the bull went in last spring. This morning we had a heavy, wet snow and I had a first-calf heifer missing. Found her with a small...

Gotta add my two cents (about what it's worth)! One time our local horse and cattle dealer who has dealt livestock all his life and sells from NY to Wyoming, came in to look at my cattle. He picked one out and said she was half dairy cow. Now she looked like all black angus to everyone else...

Mud use to be a real problem for me until a few years ago I heard about a product being given away by a co-generation plant located on a local army base (Fort Drum). The product is an ash obtained from burning coal and limestone. It was tested by state DEC and declared inert. So anyway, they...

In our area, commercial heifers are not registered for whatever reason, but usually because someplace in her background there is some crossbreeding that was done. Seedstock heifers would be registered.

How can I find out what the temperament of certain black angus bulls offered by various AI organizations is? Anyone have knowledge of temperament of Future Direction, Rock 'n D, or 1407? Or of their offspring?

In our area first frost is around Sept. 15. Took brood cows off meadows Oct. 1 and started feeding hay, some 14% grain. It's normal for this area to feed hay 180 - 200 days a year. Grass in pastures is ready May 1 - 10. My neighbor isn't feeding hay yet and his cattle are bawling a whole...
