    What breed of bull do I have?

    From the rear few I would say not a lot of Limousin in him.

    How do your repeats work. The first year we used them we used them each twice. The last two years repeats seemed to work poorly. Our vet said he thinks the manufacturer may have made them a little less "potent". This way they could make some extra money. Just wondering. They work great...

    What to do with an ugly bull

    Does he have a good pedigree? You'll have to tell me because I am pretty unfamilar with Red Angus. He sure has some great scrotal growth. I think you could find someone who would be happy to buy him. If you don't feel comfortable selling him I would bet he would taste great. We butchered an...

    Heifers and calving problems

    We haven't pulled a calf out of a first calf hiefer since we sold our holstiens. Look for an easy calving bull. When you breed try to breed on size not age. We also take pelvic measurements now. We cull heifers with a small one. Taking care when choosing the bull you use should greatly...

    Disposition and carcass

    The article makes a good point. Why even keep a "wild" calf. What the animal does for you is wreck gates and disturb otherwise docile animals. High strung animals should be a thing of the past. I would much rather push an animal out of the way than wonder, " What fence will he/she ruin next...

    Blk Angus and Limo

    Another suggestion to you is to start a little smaller than 100 cattle. If you have more room then buy more. You don't want to be overcrowded.

    Summer Ranching Job Near Houston Texas

    Great Post Chris B. Play ball or wrestle. Like he said not many people get a chance to do this after high school. If you could play D-1 and perhaps get a scholarship down the road do it. I would have given a lot to be talented enough to play ball after high school.

    New, If you find that ranch job work hard...I'm sure you will. When you leave make sure it on a good note. Someday when the time comes you may be making a resume. Be sure to put on there you worked as a ranch/farm hand. Ask your boss to be a reference for you. Chances are your perspective...

    What age would you breed limousin heifer?

    If they are big enough I think you could expose them to they bull from 14 months on. If they are big enough to handle calving and raising a calf earlier than 2 years why not let them.

    breeding a heifer on first heat

    One bull I have heard a lot of good things about is OKLF Linebacker 341L. He is owned by Running Creek Ranch in Elizabeth CO. I talked to some folks who saw his calves in Denver at the stock show. They had nothing but good to say about him. He is out of Vord Halfback a Quarterback son. His...

    breeding a heifer on first heat

    marian, With the ciders we insert them once heifers are the right size to breed and are old enough to cycle. If you haven't ever used ciders contact a vet. They should have them. Insert them into the vagina. You'll see how they work. At day six (i beleive) give them a shot of lutalyse. It...

    breeding a heifer on first heat

    Farmgirl, How do you like your calves out of the ROMN Justice bull? I talked to Herman Symens who owns Limi Gene. He seems to think the is a great bull. Have you breed any heifers to Mags Kaboom yet? Have they calved? His birth weight epd is in the top 40% of the breed. His Calving Ease...

    breeding a heifer on first heat

    Sorry guys. I have been missing this post. Let me get back to you on how the whole ciders thing works. (I read the package each year.) Let me get to you later on that. I can tell you though they work great for us. We use them on our cows and usually get about 90% conception. That may seem...

    Twin heifers- fertile or sterile

    Should be fine. If the has trouble with raising them both you may want to supplement them so they don't fall too far behind.
