never hurts to be reminded. sometimes cows can be more dangerous than bulls just like dull knives can be more dangerous than sharp ones

dont know bout you folks but i hope she tells us something fast. ive been worried sick about it and she hasnt posted in almost 2 weeks. its either going to hit the ground at 150 lb or its a tumor the size of a shoat.

that would be because some innocent person got killed because you intentionally turned livestock out on the road

well i see what your trying to do but i dont see how your coming out ahead. sounds like you would do yourself a favor to run a few less mother cows and let em grow their calves up. if grass is your limiting factor and in most situations it is then you would get the most out your grass by...

you did fair on the prices. the ticket might show them as steers but you can be sure the buyers knew better. still dont get why your selling them so young please explain

gabby its interesting that its working for you. so far. interesting articles too. but i still stay its nothing short o f miraculous if all your 85 cows continue to give you a calf every 12 months. even if 75% do it will still be something beyond realistic expectations. if he breeds 50% of...

the only names ive ever given any of mine arent fit for polite society

no reason to run more than one unless you have enough cows on the place that one cant cover all of them. then it makes sense. they will fight if its a halfway even match buts its not the end of the world and they will sort things out. often within the first hour usually within a day or so and...

very true and the worst thing is the hardest cows to catch which of course are either the smartest or the wildest are usually the last cows to come in and the first to shy off

might seem like it sometimes but dont believe it for one second

i believe yall are right why on earth would anybody think pulling an animal off its momma would improve anything about the animal. then they act surprised that steers have more carcass quality than bulls. didnt need some college study for that. humans figured that out a few thousand years ago...
