The seller will get his money back ten fold when people find out he stands behind his cattle, he is a great cattleman, and business man.

Nice looking cows, and I like the pedigrees. How is the temperament on that line bred EXT cow?

I just had a young cow raise a 705 pound bull for her second calf, she weighed 1205 at weaning time. She will probably be in the 1400 to 1500 pound range when she matures. Have a heifer that just raised a 575 pound heifer, momma weighed 970 at weaning time, and she will probably mature at around...

Awe, I just threw up a little........

Just like a young kid, has no idea what they want.....

Georgia has been in a drought for 3 years.

That ones dam is out of the Univ Tn Plateau Exp Sta, Crossville TN, I'm wondering just what kind of experiments they are conducting up there? :shock:

I quit buying heifers and cows, 50% that I bought didn't work out, that's not a good ratio! I'll take my chances raising my own, cull rate so far is about 12%.

You're just pawning your problem off on someone else. Buyers remember where they got the problems from, and it could hurt you in the long run. I would just haul him to the processor and be glad to have a little beef from a problem.

Have you gotten allot of rain this year, could be the grass is washed out and they are hitting the mineral harder? I feed loose mineral and it only has about 20% salt, the rest is mineral and vitamins, which they need more than the salt. They could be consuming allot trying to get the minerals...

That's kinda like a boy named Sue.

One word, "veal". :D

Which AI sire is your favorite? I have a couple in the tank. :hide:

I can rent pasture, buy quality hay and mineral, vaccines, etc., for less than a dollar a day per head. That is why I asked about the high cost of raising a heifer. I keep all of mine to build the herd, the ones that don't cut it, get used for freezer beef and I about break even.

How do you arrive at the $1500 figure?
