I am selling three 4-6 yr olds heavy bred this weekend and one 1 st time brahma heifer with a good bull calf in Emory, TX. Not sure what i can expect out of the sale. I dont trust the internet numbers they have on their website. Anybody have an idea what these have been going for lately...

If I were you, I would start with older cows that are heavy bred. Maybe 3 Short Solid cows that are heavy bred to calf in early spring. If you buy young calfs, there is no telling if they are wild or not. If you are a newbie and have a couple wild calves, that is a big headache. Usually...

Thanks. i think that it was I will do. Keep her through the winter and sale back as a weigh cow and keep her calf and see what happens. I think I can make some money on her.

Wanted to get some of yalls opinions on a cow I purchased at the sale barn. She is a big braford cow that is 7 months bred, but she was sold as no teeth. I went out before and checked in the lot and really liked her. She has good bags, composition, and is gentle as far as I can tell so far...

I didn't realize what an argument this would turn into. Appreciate all of the advice from all of you, good or bad. For now I think we have solved some of the issue. I ran into a guy who gave me two Jennies for free and they are working fine for now. We haven't had any more run ins so far...

Appreciate all the feedback. We actually witnessed 7 coyotes eating a calf that they killed earlier this year. We have hunted them with calls, motion decoys, etc. No luck. These are smart dudes. We usually have no problem calling a coyote up. The problem is my neighbor has hunted them...

Just curious, how hard of a keeper are llamas. Do they take special feed, or can you leave with the herd and feed them like you feed the cows.

We have about 30 head of cattle and we are weekend farmers. We get up there twice a week usually. We have a coyote problem that is getting rapidly worse. We used to have a donkey and never had any problems, but he kept breaking fences to get to other donkeys a pasture away so we gave him...

We had a calf saturday evening look lethargic. We thought it was no big deal and went back up there sunday morning to give it some antibiotic shots. Well, we get there and it is standing by itself and it has blood coming from his eyes and nose pouring out. Within 20 minutes it was lying on...

BSKDixie, Thanks for the response. We are a commercial operation. We run around 30 cows on a yearly basis and sale the calves in the fall. We have a mixture of cows. We have Baldies, Angus, Red angus, and limos. Down here mainly black and baldy calves continue to rule the sale barns so we...

I am just a small time recreational farmer with 30-50 head depending on what time of year. Well, my year so far is not going well. We have lost three cow/calves this year so far. 1. Lost a long time family cow that died of old age. (tried to sale her for slaughter but my sympathetic wife...

". Contact the local Sheriff and report this cow is "tresspassing" and you want it removed. If the owner shows no interest and is an absentee owner...well...do what you need to do to get the animal off your property and don't worry about it..." FROM ABOVE POST I don't want to start a war over...

I need answers on this wild cow. Our neighbors cow got into our pasture and it won't leave. We have tried to load it up a couple times but it jumps out or it will bust through the beginning funnel of our corral. The neighbor has no real interest in it and has given us three WHOLE bales of hay...

Your fine. That is plenty. I would not waste my time chisel plowing it.

Just an estimation, but you are wanting to buy 50 heifers at lets say $500 apiece at 400-600 lbs. That means your budget is around $25000. With heifers you are waiting approximately 2 years plus before you see any cash flow returned to you. If I were you i would buy 25 4-6 yr old black cows...

That is all interesting. It sounds as if it is a crap shoot. I wonder how much the bull has something to do with it as well. I wish there were more studies done on this topic that I can understand. Dun, I looked up twinner cattle and there is a lot of mumbo jumbo and then there is some...

I have a 7 yr old cow that I bought and she had twin heifers. I don't have much experience with twins, but the calves are now 3 months old and doing great. They are the same size of the other calves and not having any problems. My question is, Will this cow have twins every year or is this...

That happened to me but I was buying. i bought a nice angus steer at .97 cents a lb at 380 lbs. But for some reason when I went to pay it said .27 cents a lb. I paid and walked off, well my concious got to me as I was walking out of the sale barn and I had to go back and square the deal. I...
