    ranch/farm jobs?

    I don't know who Ramsey is but I have seen people who blindly follow someone who tells them what they want to hear. Do you know anyone else who has made it like he tells it? Are the rest of us of dumb? I would love to be debt free but I live in reality, my wife really works for the bank, I might...

    why background /vac/ or wean em at all...just load em??

    They don't ask nothing around here either, they don't care. We do vaccinate so that we can have healthy calves, we have not banded a bull or castrated in probalbly 10 years, the difference in weight more than makes up for any deduction they might have.

    help me prioritize

    I would say the man has a pretty good herd already, they have probally been productive for years, most older farmers I know are pretty set in their ways and are not interested in all the new stuff as far as AI'ing or any new fads that come along, but they are making money on what they got.

    adjusted weight?

    How is adjusted weight determined to get weaning weight. I don't quite understand if you weigh them at 205 days what else do you consider to come up with a weight. Seems like the real weight would be the weaning weight?

    curtiss breeding

    I talked to my select sires rep and he's the one that told me it was a cookie company but he did'nt know much else about it. It is a nice box has clip in the top for the AI gun and a styrofoam cooler in it and pretty much everything you need.

    CATTLE BUYER / BROKER

    Find an old farmer like they said or watch the classifieds if you can't go to sells. The classifieds on this web site are not bad that's where I found my registered angus, and the guy delivered them for me. I would rather do it that way, at least you can go to his place and judge the cows and...

    Am I foolish for wanting bottle calves?

    I have had a few bottle calves and seems like your constantly fighting something to keep them alive, scours, weather. Maybe if your getting them from a good source that has a healthy calf when you get it, it might be worth it. If you enjoy doing it don't let anyone on here stop you. I know you...

    herding bull

    Does anybody else have a bull that will corral all the cows and calfs in a corner. It's kinda neat to watch the calves will try to get away and he will run that direction and then pace back and forth until all are still, then he just walks away. Seems like he's letting everyone know who the boss is.

    weighing new borns

    I'm new to the registered cattle business and I will be getting first newborns in March. What I'm wondering is, do you weigh the calf as soon as possible or let the cow clean it off and dry?
