Some stores do it some do not but its perfectly legal to add things to the meat to help keep its color. Some places use embalming fluid to do this. All the preservatives in food today proves one thing. That the embalming process when we die is a money racket. We are already so well preserved...

I just got a copy of last weeks market report. Cattle holding around the same for this market which isnt the highest selling market in my area but steady. But I about died when I saw what the price of lambs are. "" Lambs 85-100 pounds 62 head $170-$176. 75 pounds 16 head $186.50. 50-65...

I just thought I would give an update since I have some time to breathe. What was going to be a slow process of clearing land turned into a rush last fall and this winter but I now have all of my land cleared, fertilized and planted. Getting good rains and grass is growing great. I know it...

What would you do if you have been giving permission to use 500 acres of land? I am new and this year has been my first calving season and I want to go slow so not going to get more cattle for this land. But I have more than enough land for all the hay I need already. This 500 acres is my...

I have been spending time at the markets lately to see the going on's and to learn. The markets were also nice enough to give me copies of sales reports for the past year or so. What I have learned is they love blacks and smokes. The smokes even do better than the BWF and sometimes just as...

This is a topic that people should just let drop because now it is getting beyond being childish and stupid. Why keep it going unless its to seek attention?

Sorry for my ignorance. I assumed insurance would cover extreme heat and drughts the same way it covers crop loss do to droughts, floods, and other natural disassters. Hard to believe a drough and heat killing crops is covered while livestock isnt. these events have the same cause and effect...

Sorry to hear about your loss. And that amount of money isnt even a scratch to cover the amount lost. Things like this is yet another reason to carry insurance. Just like for crops because you never know what will happen and when it will happen.

I have been reading some market reports over the past few months and it seems the blacks really out sale anything else around here. .20 to .25 cents more per pound. While I under stand this with the way the markets are I dont understand why cattle considered "exotics" are getting at least 10...

Here is another market and it seems to be much better. Just a little further away but not buy much though. Around 40 minutes further. http://www.cattle.com/markets/barn_repo ... e=CW_LS148

Here are the reports from the two closest markets in my area. What do you guys think of these prices? http://www.cattle.com/markets/barn_repo ... e=CW_LS140 http://www.cattle.com/markets/barn_repo ... e=CW_LS141

More like any cow colored black who has an ancient ancester that was an angus is what you see on the menus. A marketing ploy done right is what it is. Angus people just thought of it first and it paid off huge. I think I will use a Hereford < like them more than angus lol > on my...

About this plan. As I stated before I have got my start with some bred braunvieh cows and a bull. I have been thinking of building up a herd of Braunveih cows crossing them with a hereford bull to get some F1s and then breeding those to a Black Angus. Granted it will take some years to get...

Thats a lot of info not to be advertising.

I have owned some feeder calves before. Buy in spring sell in the fall. Usually around 30 head. I did this to get some practice and to start learning. I took the last two years getting fences built, fields ferterlized and planted, barn built and lots of other odds and ends. I am going to...

As I stated in another thread I was looking at some Braunvieh cattle and I took your guys advice about having them preg tested. All 9 are bred and expecting to calve in March/ early April. I managed to get them for 875 each plus work on the mans barn roof which took me a whole two hours. I...

If F1s are not good for breeding back to angus What was the point of creating bradfords or brangus? Still two breeds just bred to a 5/8 3/8. Seems that theory could be applied to any two breeds to get the same 5/8 3/8 cross. Maybe not with no English breeds but any english breed and...

Well fellas I took your guys advice and talked the the gentleman about the 9 Braunvieh cows. He is happy to have them preg tested and is having it done Monday or Tuesday and invited me up to be there and to get to know the Vet he uses. The vet actually lives closer to me than he does to him...

I was just wondering why most people use angus cows and use a hereford bull ? Why not the other way around? Hereford cows and an Angus bull ? I am sure either way is a good cross but why does it seem most people use the angus cows?

I have another question. When looking at bull seman sales and charts how do you actually read them ? for example what is a good range for BW, WW, YW, milk ect... I was looking at charts like this, http://www.bovine-elite.com/brangusepd2 ... oduct=3329 , but have no idea what good score...
