Thanks for the responses.... I purchased half a ton of corn out of the field and planned to use some of that. I will look for other grains (peas & barley) this week and start the process. Thanks again.

I got a Jersey Steer from a friend that had to bottle raise it. We agreed that if I put it out to pasture and feed it out, we would split the butcher cost and meat. I agreed and put the steer out to pasture with the heifers @ 6 months ago. Its not been an issue to have around, but now I ready...

Great responses... yes its a metal post fence. I will try a couple of these options to see what works best & fastest...

Ok, existing corner posts & gates are structurely sound, but rough visual shape. It looks to have 2 coats of paint that is all chipping and flaking off. So painting over is most likely not an option. Wanted opinions on what my options are to remove the paint and clean it up...sanding, fire...

I'll scan and post his stats once they arrive. In the mail now.

oh forgot, he was born Feb 2007, very young but from good BW & EPD #'s....

First bull purchase #3027. He was turned out on 19 heifers & 1 Cow/calf pair. Learned a lot here, thxs

Good link TXBobcat.... based on this info, a person would offer a price based overall weight. This price would slightly decrease with a heavier animal??? #1 TYPE HEIFERS 200# - 300# ---------------------------------------------------------------- $100.00 $135.00 per cwt. 300# - 400#...

How to interpret the data.... #212 Range 500 - 545 AVG 526 $93.00-$125.00 $116.37 Price is per 100lbs, I assume. So if reports say $116.37 for 500-550lb they mean $116.37 x 506 lb (5.06) = $588.83 for that animal ??? (Remember beginners board)

I called the local sale barn and they couldn't give me an average sales price per wt.... I am planning on making an offer on some cattle through a private deal....I need a base line to start my offer. Any advice??

What is the difference with the various colored or # of barbs on the wire. Is one suited better for cattle or calves....etc

just like hogs, thanks for reply

just for giggles, any ideas on what he is crossed from?

Pics of my future steaks! :D

I'm sure this has been covered many times before, but can someone describe the method of using a knife. Sharp knife, two cuts, access testicle and pull out (Some farmers say cut the vas, others say just rip out to help with clotting). then turn lose? any antibiotics or iodine?

catch dogs do wear kevlar vests to protect them from the tusks and teeth. Works well, but with the right boar in the right conditions, it won't matter. The hogs do win some of these battles.

sidney, thanks for the postive feedback. I'll have our help keep an eye on her. We are in the process of adding electronic scales to the operation. So this should help with our management. hog hunting, its my addiction. I have hunting many animals in N America and not much compares to...

he's a argentine dogo. The picture is after catching a 225lb boar....took a beating and kept on going. Picture of this calf with momma, day of birth.

Beginners luck, I think and agree. Since this is the absolute beginning of the herd, then I'll take the "freebie" for face value. If the cow and calf live then it all works out. We plan on breeding the herd in late May/June. We'll see if she gets bred, and I guess I'll pay special attention...

they came from OK auction. they were grouped with a larger purchase from a neighbor/mentor farmer. He dropped 20 off and walked us through their shots etc. They have been feeding on winter wheat and a couple of round bales since their arrival. The farmer came over and said " yup, its a calve...
