If you're serious about increasing your herd with some good doing females, you might try buying some heifers from a neighbor or friend. That way you at least know a bit about the herd they come from, conditions where they were raised, etc. I rarely sell heifers at the sale barn unless it's a...

We're running 2:1 bulls to heifers with 1 left to calve so the ratio isn't changing at this point....unless some bulls start identifying as heifers. It started out all bulls and finally had a few heifer trickle in.I wonder if last year's weather.....cool spring w/ very rapid warm up in June had...

Great way to start the day! Is the calf solid black? My Herf bull puts a whitespace of some sort on ALL his calves(mommas are all Angus/Brangus).

That's what we do also. I only sell to a small group of folks by word of mouth, no advertising. I could sell more with advertising but this way I know I'm not dealing with a jacka$$. At this point in my life, I don't play well with folks who are a pain in the a$$. Life's too short! I

I prefer the loose Safeguard mineral. I usually let them run out of regular mineral for a day or two and then put out the wormer mineral. From casual observation, it appears the distribution more even that with blocks or cubes. I do like to use the cubes when I have just a small group who are...

A neighbor of ours who doesn't live nearby( yet) has a really nice setup for monitoring his cows. He has wifi cameras set up that he can log in and take a look around in real time or review footage that's recorded. One's by the pens where he has the mineral setup, another one shows the entrance...

I'll sell one quicker for that kind of behavior than anything else. I don't have the time or the inclination to deal those kind of cows.

Prepare for the worst; pray for the best. When working on my budget, I always plan using low cattle prices, not the highs of the last couple of years. I did not buy any cattle during the historic highs but have picked some up recently AND keep all the hay you can. My daddy always said "Hay in...

+1 I always have list in my head of who goes to town first if/when the need arises.

Just across the road. We just walk them out our gate across to theirs. The little old lady who owns it is in her late 80's and lives in town; her only child ( a daughter) lives in Austin. They use the place as a weekend "retreat" a half dozen times ( maybe) a year. We look after it and runs a...

I double dog dare you. :D If you don't do it, there's not a man in your family. :lol: Seriously, that's nice set of well thought out AND well made pens.

Mr. CB, How much do you have in the little white one in the picture date 4/7/13? :D

Yes, sir. That's my plan IF we have to sell them.

That's precisely why we've held on to a small group of brangus and angus plus(ultra black or whatever you want to call them) heifers from 2011. I'm praying the good Lord keeps the rain coming along so we can hang on to them And their mommas. Otherwise, the heifers will take a one way trip to...

and it breaks at 11:57 am on Saturday , the store closes at noon on Saturday plus you live 19 miles away.

You can also do the majority of your CEU's online. I don't remember the specifics but one of the required topics for renewal must be in face to face class.....or at least that was true a couple of years ago when we renewed ours.

I know Remedy Ultra comes in 30 gal drum. Check with your local ag chemical dealer or co-op.

Monday, March 7th, big bulls ( 1400 lbs and up) brought from 89 to 95.5 at the Decatur sale. Makes me wish I had a bull I wanted to sell. :)

I can't keep up any more.....I thought we were supposed to call them Black Herefords now. ;-) It's so confusing these days.
