    WHOA! Can this be real?? GIANT Watusi horns...

    They look real to me. Yes the horns are hollow. I have looked at a horn that was cut off and they are paper thin. They had a bull on the news a while back with horns like his.

    What do you think of this cow? No pics.

    If she is raising her calf and feeding the cow and her calf still looks good why worry. I was always told why fix it if it ain't broke.

    Dry, fuzzy hair

    Worm her again and put some minerals out. How much corn and cubes do you give out? .

    Do it or Not

    Alright I have talked it over with Dad and we are going to keep the existing herd. I know it sounds crazy to have the Brahman bull but he was bought last year when most of the herd was Hereford and we were going to start raising Tigers. When the drought hit, we culled the bottom 50-60% and the...

    Do it or Not

    We run a crossbred herd with a lot of angus and brangus influence along with some red. We run a Brahman and a Limousin bull on them. I ahve been wanting some Brahmans for a while to raise some F1s. I found some that are 3-5 years old and all are bred to Herefords for $1200 delivered. So dad says...

    Lopsided Cow

    Ours looks just as bad and the $8000 we spent on Tiffton 85 is down the drain.

    Brahman X price penalty

    I think the discount had More to do with quality than with just brahman cross. I just sold an 8 month old bull that I missed castrating. Sold in the calf sale for almost $600. I was worried he would be condsiderably docked but was happy. He was out of a red brahman bull and a brangus cow so he...

    Buying land from family

    My dad bought his grandad's farm. Nobody wanted to buy but everybody wants to come use it like it is still a family farm. At first my dad was nice until the relatives invited friends to fish and my dad ended up picking up beer cans (my dad is very conservative and against drinking). So now my...

    Brahman cattle

    We are having our first calf crop right now out of our Brahman bull. I've had no calving problems whatsoever. I did lose one (think it was stillborn or buzzards attacked). So far we have had 3 herefords, 1 Limousin, 1 black baldie, and Braford/Limousin cross calve. I also have 2 springing and...

    Rejected calf

    Is it a bull or heifer? Just wondering. If it's a bull you better not get too attached or it will be hard to ship him off.

    NE Texas - fertilizing

    We buy ours from Eldorado Chemical in Terrell (Texas) and I think that they have a place in Greenville (Texas) as well. They may can help you. All I know about black dirt is don't drive on it after it rains.

    What breed of cattle?

    I would go with the Limousin. We have had a big red bull in the past and he was great. We know have a black Limousin bull and two red cows in our herd and some Limousin crosses in the herd and they are some of the best producers in the herd. The black bull eats out of my hand and the cows are...

    Want to Raise Bottle Calves

    I raised my bottle calf on milk until it was 4-5 months old. She turned into a nice 900-1000 pound heifer. Turned out to be a freemartin though and I sold her to a lady who wanted infertile cows.

    taking over family farm

    Luke, If you were going to be building your herd here is an idea. Sell all of your bull calves for profit. Sell the heifers the heifers open for($500-$600). Take that money and buy some heavy bred cows that can have you some calves in 4 months or less. You are waisting 2-3 years worth of feed on...
