I hope so. He is an expressive bull, but not mean acting. Also the most expensive I’ve ever bought. $4K!

Group of cows with my new bull

Here is my bull I bought from a Limflex breeder close to my farm. He was 18 months when I got him. He is approx. 2 years old now. A bit more frame than my last one, but I don’t have any heifers to breed and probably won’t for a while with these cattle prices!

There is a silver lining here! You can stop spending money and time on medicine and get her system “clean” and then slaughter her for your own consumption. I’m assuming she can’t walk enough to sell at stockyards or even a slaughter house? I eat all my cows that get down. They are primarily...

It depends on soil composition as to how nutrients will move through them? A lot depends on your soils cation exchange number which changes with soil profiles. If you have heavy clay soils with little top soil, nutrients could stay bound in the upper inches more easily. Hopes this helps?!

I’ve heard a lot of people say that big volume means more feed. Any thoughts on preferring volume over efficiency? Myself I sell feeders and they like bigger frame calves at Bluegrass Stockyards!

This goes to show, the best of our cows are never the prettiest of cows. Disposition is worth more $ than any of us know too. It’s a challenge getting the right ones!! She is worth $4 per pound to you, but would be middle of the road priced at a stockyards.

Dad always said. Best to cull your cow that lost its calf, than to keep her around eating groceries for 9 months to do it all over again! He would give heifers a second chance, but not all them!
