Dittos that Jason :)

picked up 4 bred cows and 8 4-5 wt calfs at action today. In business :D

OK, got it. thnx CP

Thnx cow poll. I suspect most of the calf's are weaned on the trailer on the way to the sale barn. So again, is the request for calf vaccinations stated as "I would like you (sales barn personnel) to vaccinate for virus and clostridials prior to loading those calf's on the trailer" I am not sure...

Looking for a simplified answer as to what type of vaccinations should be administered to the two classes of cattle I mentioned that are coming from a sale barn (IE cows should get a five way shot, calf's should get black leg and worm meds, etc) I have no familiarity with brand names, what I am...

Will be looking to purchase 6 bred cows and 6-10 4 weight stockers this weekend. Any suggestions as to what I should give in the way of vaccinations? The sale barn mentioned that they can provide shots, branding etc, any thoughts on adding those services at time of sale? Thnx bman

Well Cypress, at least you know what your getting buying feed instead of trying to grow it all. Arkansas, I have no idea what the markets like in your area but having spent time in two different areas of the country looking for land I can say that my experience taught me to aim for more than...

Finally got around to posting some pics of my place in Central Texas. Threw the dice on a 1,000 lbs of rye grass seed last month, still waiting on a shower to get it going :roll: Come on rain!

Thanks Kingfish. Haven't decided on the type of operation but might start with a small number of weaned steers. Just getting into cattle raising and have been doing a lot of research. Sorry to hear about your aunt, Grey. Hope your family is adjusting to the loss.

Thanks all, and yes djinwa I brought the misses. Wouldn't make a move without her! Will post some pics of the place next week when I get back to Oregon.

Well this thread is a little old but I wanted to let you all know I finally bought my little slice of Texas today, about 74 acres of coastal Bermuda with a few oak tress and several tanks that even have water in them! The property is a little north of Comanche Texas in Comanche County. Good...

Well, I make this post somewhat sheepishly as over the months I have been seeking information regarding central Texas as I have been looking at relocating there. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in that effort and have turned by attention to the prospect of securing acreage in Harney...

Thanks again Wild, that is very helpful. Think I'll do some homework on the grasses you mentioned. One last question, who/what/where is the extension agent/agents in your area? thanks again and Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks JH and Wild. Wild, I spent a few days in your country this last summer driving around looking at properties from Silverton to Quanah. I really like the country but am having a hard time selling my wife on it. That’s great info though, now I have some more specific questions regarding your...

Hey this is great stuff, but I am getting a little confused about the areas specifics. If one were running stockers on native grass in the area between Sweetwater and Roby Tx what could one expect on average as far as AU? Is that range even suitable for a stocker operation? Can one improve a...

Thanks Wild Cattle. Do not mean to start a debate about where West Texas starts, some folks tell me anything west of Fort Worth. Any ways that is interesting to hear. I am always curious about animal units in the different regions but I suppose that can vary significantly in each county. How are...

Backoe, that is very interesting. What is the location from which you relocated those cattle during drought? I wonder if others can shed some light on this?

Looking for comments and thoughts of anyone who lives/ranches in NE Texas (think Greenville and areas north and north/east of there) Whats ranching like for you in your local and any other thoughts about the region. Thanks bman

Well thank you all for sharing and input regarding my interests. I think I should inquire more of NE Texas regarding opinions of those who live/ranch in that area. Thanks bman :cowboy:
