It's recommended to select a well muscled 'athletic' bull. Seems he nailed it.Why are you using a bull like that? Give me your reasoning.
If you buy enough yearling bulls you will eventually end up with one as TexasRancher describes.Why are you using a bull like that? Give me your reasoning.
Or rent. Had this red Limi bull dropped off by the neighbor. It could clear a 5ft fence standing flat footed. I had to apologize to my kids about leaving a gate open when I saw him leep!!If you buy enough yearling bulls you will eventually end up with one as TexasRancher describes.
Figured someone would ask me a question like that. There's a big story that comes along with this bull...let's just say I KNOW God brought him to me. He almost died outside of the promised land and he came free-and-clear. At 20 months old he looked like a cow....he's has cost me about $200. in fence repairs to date....but I wouldn't sell him for anything under $10,000. He's that special to me. He's majestic and huge now I guess between $1,800 to 2,200. pounds depending on weather and conditions. It's not that he's unsafe, he's even better as he's matured...it's just if he wants to do something or go somewhere...he will. (much like me, stubborn). He can be a bad boy. He's never left the outer confinement fencing ever (which is where rubber meets the road)...but he's done things on the inside confinement areas...where I had to address those weaker areas. I wasn't expecting to run with this bull...but he's turned out well, great breeder, big ball sack, and he's so gentle with all the cows (except his sons/steer) and is a great father.Why are you using a bull like that? Give me your reasoning.
Been there... When I left college I had no debt because of mac and cheese, and taco Tuesdays.When I was in college, I was hungry, I once lived on $12. for 3 months, I ate mostly 19 cent beef liver and macaroni and cheese (10 to 12 boxes for $1), prepared without butter or milk.
…And that's why I kept my bull God gave to me and invested in him…he was hungry and dehydrated when he came to the promised land…I will not let him down….we share similar backgrounds of knowing what it's like to be alone, hungry and on our missions.
I exited college with my BSEE and $2,800. in loans...still remember the $50.77 (exact amount each month) from 1986 til 2001, it seemed sooo long the year 2001 back then and i thought about all the time writing out $50.77 checks and sending them with a stamp-costs. So in 1987, I wrote out one big check and emptied my bank account and all my savings...I was dirt poor for weeks afterwards, lol....but i had all my college loan paid for.Been there... When I left college I had no debt because of mac and cheese, and taco Tuesdays.
So good luck with the bull regardless of where he comes from.
Not sure how close they are but you have Randolf Packing Co in Asheboro NC and Brown Packing in Gaffney SC. You can rail at eitherThanks. I don't think there is a rail option anywhere near me in NC.
browns packing is the closest i believe, you could get together with other farmers and make a good load to takeThanks. I don't think there is a rail option anywhere near me in NC.
Thanks a lot. I have heard their name a lot but never investigated it. Any processor is an hour+ away so that might be reasonable.browns packing is the closest i believe, you could get together with other farmers and make a good load to take
Murray around here we are all hoping and praying we can get enough rain for wheat pasture. I hope to start drilling tomorrow. If we can get some wheat pasture we plan to wean the heavy end and sell them after 30-45 days then wean the rest and run all winter we hope. All buyers I talk too think it will pay huge dividends if you can take them to 800 lbs and up. We are hoping for a break in the drought.@Dave I think you just about got the old broken mouth cow thing figured out my friend!
I bet those calves do well also. Prices are really good here right now. Some folks ain't even considering running them on wheat this year. Gonna sell em now and take a winter off I hear.
