So you give the US government total control of your water and I promise you they will tax you into poverty so they can buy more votes. By the way, the water in Texas is not controlled by the state. In our county we voted against water control and we do not have it. Other counties voted for the...

When you give someone the power to control they will control. Never mind who it hurts or helps. They get little stars next to their name for screwing things up. The EPA will have the power to control what you plant, where you plant. Can all of us afford to loose a stock tank or even put one in...

The mineral you need to put out will have a lot to do with what you have or have not in your soil. Your county agent may be able to help. I agree with Caustic on the blocks.

I learned the hard way that a purebred Brahman born in the freezing cold has little chance of survival.

The cow looks a lot better in the second pic. I doubt there is any noticeable change in body condition score in just 5 days. The best you could hope for would be a pound a day with a nursing calf. That full belly makes a big difference. Buying wormy cattle can be profitable. But if a particular...

Stock to 75% expected capacity. If you have extra grass then buy stockers, bail hay and or leave for stockpiled forage. This accounts for weather doing the unexpected. Doing this allows for better pasture management. Even with small endeavors a little diversification is a good idea.

It is true that the are many registered cattle that are inferior to commercial. And there are far to many people selling solely on the fact they have papers. The benefit to registered cattle is, as stated before, one can trace ancestry. But the equally important benefit is the EPD's that can be...

Mine comes off in a "Y" about the same angle either way.

One should check with their county agent and/or vet to find what minerals are deficient in the local soil. A complete soil test on your particular location should show what you need. In my area we are low in copper and phosphorous. I have seen people sell off cattle due to infertility. I think...

Or are you really BSing the people you selling to?

The half truth in marketing has become not only an acceptable practice but even characterized as being "good". The leaders and representatives of our country are prime examples of acceptable lies that some will even praise for being great leaders, while overlooking their lies. Yet if our...

You are probably right, the way things have gone up the last few years.

For a 30 year payout on $10,000 that would be $333 per year with no interest. Add $1 a day expense per unit, $365. Roughly $400 a year expense with no interest. Roughly $300 per unit gain in a perfect world. (@ $700 per unit on calf sales) At 3.75% interest add about another $160 to expense per...

Cimarron Plus, a non restricted herbicide, will control Bahia in jiggs.

Cut the corner off with a 45 degree fence back to the gate post.

I have rarely, if ever, seen cattle with 2 brands. As far as size, it needs to be big enough so the burns don,t run together. In the old days, when cattle were pretty wild, the brands were fairly large. I have an old King Ranch brand over a foot across. Dun is on the money on getting it...

Look around for a place to take an AI course. They will fill you in on eerything you need to know.

I've had several F1 brafords that were brokle faced.
