We raise Angus/ Simmentals/ and herefords up here in the north with a small herd of brahman cows.

Are you saying that you have a small herd of brahman cows in the Dakotas?

Maybe they stay in a large barn in bitter weather? :?:

I didn't realize the King Ranch had an operation up there. Please give us more info about it and tell us where it's headquartered.

Our ranch is still headquartered out of Kingsville We run 2500brood cows year round we do alot of AI up here about 65% of the herd is AIed every year. We retain the top 20% of our heifer crop every year as replacements. We feedlot the majority of our bulls until they are about 18-20 months old then they get shipped to Kingsville for aditional testing and then they go through the Bull sale in March down in Kingsville.

I planted some Purple Top Turnips & Kale this fall(Oct.) into a field that is planted w/ K31, ryegrass, and clover. Really haven't noticed the Kale.. but the Turnips really put out.. some as large as softballs. I didn't finish the fencing on this field.. so I've been pulling them by hand to feed. The steers have been eating-em up like candy. I used the grass seed box on an old Oliver Superier 76 grain drill.. the seeds are round.. I should have cranked "the feed rate" down some. I opted for the purple top.. but they do have forage turnips.. kale is suppose to be even more "winter" hardier then the turnips.
