    dieselbeef's grass finished steaks

    The fat on those steaks look far too white to be grass fed. Grass fed beef normally has yellow fat. :? :?:

    Country comparison - Finland

    I am in Alberta Canada, and Welcome to Cattletoday. I really enjoy hearing how Producers in other parts of the World raise beef cattle. Its -29 this morning and the wind chill last night was -41. Its not always this cold but we can have these temps for weeks at a time. Our cattle live outdoors...

    Snotty noses?

    Thick yellow snot that just sits there is something they will get over as long as they are basically bright and eating. When you see something that more resembles amber crusts and a dry nose, that may be more serious and may need some systemic treatment. The worst is clear serous snot that hangs...

    Angus heifers x gert bull

    The calving ease is in the gert cow,not so much in the gert Bull, although thats all I ever use on heifers.... but then I raised the bull so I know the size of the Bull as a newborn. However, I have used Gert bulls on Fullblood Simmental and crossbred Simmental and the weight of some of those...

    Rodeo bulls

    Back when I was a kid the event used to be called "Brahma bull riding". Now its just Bull riding and its rare to see many bucking bulls with much Brahma influence in them. The occasional bull has a little hump but most are completely flat behind the crest of the neck.They seem to be breeding...

    A Cow Tale

    We kept a heifer that froze her ears off as a new born. Made her an ugly duckling for sure but she reared 2 sets of twins on her own and earned the name smiley as she was so good natured.

    Temperament Affects Performance

    Jeanne, I would like to agree with you 100% but then why is it that I have to cull my rotten viscous man eating cows and they produce the heaviest best doing calves? Its also the quiet tame ones that are open and produce the smallest calf? :P :) or so it seems sometimes.

    loading 1-2 ton bull

    A lot of these "tips" will possibly result in death or a long stay in an intensive care unit. If you have the facilities, ie. load out gate and solid fences that he can't jump out of, then if you have a long hose with some available water pressure then use water to load him. Stand on the...

    Rogue Bull = bad, bad calves

    I had the same thing happen last year, but I only got 2 rodeo calves out of it. I got some white speckled things. Plus I got a lot of dents in my truck from trying to herd the bull out of the pasture with my truck. This rodeo bull would not be herded even with a bunch of our cows. I got the...

    Setting on their hay

    What would it cost for you to ship Hay out of Alberta? New hay around here is 40 bucks a roll for about 1350 pounds. Their is oodles of it up here. :| It wasn't too long ago I remember paying 115 a ton and that was a bit painful. Now I have too much and no place to store it.

    Roach Back Cow

    I had a little hereford like that and it drove me crazy to look at her. I suspected hardware disease but she ended up living a long life despite her appearance

    Charging Cow

    I have a gorgeous Simmental cow that raises the heaviest calf and she is young and going to slaughter this fall. She charges both of us after calving for several weeks even if her calf is no where to be seen. She just puts her head up and comes full bore. Nothing that an axe handle would stop...
