Well it looks like we are Silver City bound! We found a place that borders the 3.3 million ac. Gila national forest. Log home with solid barn and a good well with a stream that runs through the south end. Just received word last night that our offer was excepted.

Thank you all again for the advice . We leave on the 23.

Thank you all for the replies. It seems that our "Cattle today" board has no New Mexico members!! Interesting.

Thank you all for the advice we go on the 23rd of February for a few weeks to travel around and look at a few ranches. We are looking forward to the new life. Bye inexpensive I meant around $300,000 do you think that is unreasonable?

The wife and I are selling the ranch and moving to New Mexico. I would like to ask you all were the best part of the state is to start a Dude/cattle ranch? We are looking for year around water ie. river, creek, lake, etc. also green grass and land reasonably priced. Most of all we would...

Good points but...... he has a possible lice problem 'now' That means he did not ivermectin when he should have which means even though the lice may go by summer he still will benfit by ivomecing his cattle now which will cover grubs, worms ect. ect.

If you have spent years raising a large herd of cows that have the traits you want and work the best for your environment and land then you would be dumb as a stump to throw that away in order to "change breeds!" It has been said before and I will say it again there is as many different types...

A interesting read about one mans quest to find the best steak! http://www.slate.com/id/2152674/

Not applying fertilizer every year is cost effective, smart, environmentally friendlier, and often times all that the soil requires. Do not hesitate to test your soil and go with what the results tell you. You should find that you will not have to fertilize every year. At times you may fertilize...

I could not agree more!

And that is why God invented the 45-70 Marlin! ;-) In all seriousness if you have a bull that bad it is best to work him on horse back with an aggressive horse that knows cattle!

Yes safety is the MOST important thing. I have found that the first time a bull acts aggressive is the best time for him to learn never to do that again! A loud confident yell with a couple of strong steps forward and then a whack behind the ear like he never dreamed of does wonders to change...

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Screaming in fear and running for your life is just the kind of thing I was talking about. ;-) When you got scared you had a fight or flight response. You choses flight! Your bull now knows who is the boss and it ain't you! Darn it that was just what we were...

See above and then give your head a shake and buy some cows that are wanted in your area!!!! I have seen and heard of far to many folks that go for the exotics or rare breeds and then end up with more money out then taken in. Take the money from what you get out of your Dexters and buy good...

PMs take up most of the time I have for the internet. To be truthful when I post on the main board it is to help the folks that are not part of my main PM members. I appreciate each cattle person that sends them to me and I will always do my best to give the best advice I can. Every response I...

There are a number of posts on this Beginners board referring to the BAD habits of bulls. If you raise any number of cattle you know bulls and or the danger of bulls as well as cows. Folks if you are new to cattle please take to heart these words!!! You are dealing with 1000lb to 2500lb animals...
