When I was learning to back a trailer I was always told to "turn towards trouble". If you turn towards what you don't want to hit you will go opposite. My dad is also a truck driver though so I was made to go back into every nook and cranny as soon as I was old enough to drive. I have also...

Okay so here's the deal.... I bought a cow at the stockyards last Friday. She seemed pretty calm and I thought she would workout so I went ahead and wormed her gave her a blackleg and a vira-shield shot. She started acting funny the other day and now tries to chase me out of the field as soon as...

Back when I first bought a bull calf to raise as a herd bull I posted some pics and got some mixed responses, but what else can you expect from this board. Its a bunch of stubborn farmers who have or will "do it their way because that's the best way to do it." (A group I'm not excluding myself...

About 2 hours away but my brother lives in Henderson.

We just tag the calf with the same number as mama, that way you can keep track very easily wich calf is who's. Then we keep an index card on each cow and calf. On the cows card we have each calving date wrote down. What her calf grossed and then the net profit. Then we have some notes written...

I will be getting up the cows next week to move them around a little bit and plan on getting them pregnancy checked, wormed, and vaccinated. I usually don't mess with vaccinating too much because I typically run a closed herd with no cattle anywhere near mine. However, this year I have bought a...

I like the bwf too, but she is just a hair skittish. That might be enough to make me sell her and her calf.

She's one of my favorites.

Thanks guys, and I just bought them Monday morning so I haven't looked at birthdates for the calves but they are anywhere from about 2-4 months old.

Besides looking at the udder, eyes, mouth, and feet, healthy, calm, and gental are the biggest factors for me. A cow can look great, but if it its going to try and kill you or run through 8 fences and 3 rivers when you step in the feild she isn't one I want.

I may have to cull one or two out of the group, but they are pretty good cows from what I can tell. I bought 8 cows and 7 calves. The calves look good a healthy and the cows are calm and gentle for the most part. I believe they will work out just fine. Here are some pics, I'll try and get some...

I don't think we're supposed to post stuff like this but the link for the classifieds is not working. I'm wanting to buy 4-5 cows. I'm looking for heavy bred heifers or anything up to about 8 years old. I'm wanting Angus or Charolais. I might also be interested in some other breeds, but those...

That's my favorite misconception of all. Lol

He is not related to any of the others in the herd. The guy hasn't kept any heifers back in quite a few years. On a side note, This cold weather has put an interesting spin on things huh? Lol

Alright well thanks guys. Ill let y'all know in about a year or so how it goes lol

The cow in question is arguably the best cow in the herd. (All 3/4 to pure angus) She weans off 600-700lb calves at 5-6 months old. That is why I would like to keep her, but if there is a high chance of something going wrong I will either trade bulls or trade her. Just thought I would ask to see...

I am wanting to buy a neighbors herd when he sells out in a few months. I already have a bull from his herd. My question is would it be okay for that bull to breed his mother? I wouldn't keep the calf just always sell it after weaning. What are the chances of something wrong happening? I can...
