That’s what bull riding at 48 will get you.

That herd of Herefords came with a ratty Salers bull with a broken pecker. He scored about once a month after his injury. That herd/salers cross needed a nickname. All red with some mottled white on the face. Not an impressive cross.

My cousin and I bought 30 head off Herefords one time, 29 were dog gentle. One was a high headed bxxxx who we had to trap to get off summer pasture. All were born and raised on the same farm by an old man who ran cattle his whole life. We had a lot of choice names for her, but what stuck when we...

To a point that’s true but some were just born to be wild, to use a cliche.

Couple good ones from the area. My friend owns the Case IH dealership. A father son farm always split everything down the middle, and expected to trade the penny on odd cents. They complained to the secretary about whose turn it was to get the extra penny. She told them they didn’t need their...

Glad you got them both saved. We’re in Kansas for the weekend, things look pretty good along I70. Rained here Saturday night but no storms. Spent the day yesterday on Milford lake. Fun but the water is still cold!

The most I've ever heard of putting on fescue at one time is 50# of actual N, 160 is a ridiculous number.

https://www.ruralking.com/calf-starter-grower-16-50-med Best I've ever used, calves take to it quicker than anything. Has so much molasses it sticks together. Fortunately, haven't bought any in a few years.

How far was it off?

I've always been told no more than two tons at a time. P and K levels look really good.

There's a breeder and I use that term loosely that was quoted in a State farm publication a few years back saying he sold all cows by age 6. Keep the latest and greatest genetics flowing in. How the heck you know what you got at that age? I would not buy a bull from him on a dare.

Gotta love those prices! I saw your bull for sale on WKY Craigslist. I think he's the best looking one of yours I've seen yet.

We've had just enough to keep us out of the field since Monday. April was pretty dry but just a little too wet and cold to plant. Pastures are finally looking good. It seems fescue prefers an excess of moisture in the early spring, which we didn't have. Catalpa trees are in full bloom, which...

Buy a Jersey or Corriente bull, next time the fence is down turn it loose and drive it across to his side. Fix the fence.

Reminds me of a dad/grandpa story. They trucked for everyone in the country. Went to haul corn for old man Brown back in the old days. Motor was weak on the auger, so Brown gave it a spin to get it started, but caught his finger between the belt and pulley. Grandpa helped him take his glove...

I usually use a paper shop towel wrapped in black tape, keeps the blood contained.

Intact males are more prone to wander. Back here in the east in the small country that gets them in trouble.

I’m finding out that many people in the angus breed who claim good feet have a different idea of what that is than I do.

An Amish crew built us a pole barn last fall and have a house under construction currently. I priced the same building with Cleary, it was literally double the price quoted and paid to the Amish builder. They don't mess around either, they get a lot done when they're on site. Also, they do it...

My dad ran over his yellow lab with his 560 Farmall while pulling a flat wagon. Thump thump, thump thump. He was sure he'd killed her, she laid up a couple days then was right back to her job of being an idiot.
