    Upgrade or Resource bull? Gelbvieh?

    I realize you're playing the antagonist role or bored to tears this week. My pb Simmy's get hay in the non growing season, mineral year round. I would hardly count the 100 lbs of feed I give once per quarter to get them into my corral. And I would hardly say they are supplemented. They...

    Upgrade or Resource bull? Gelbvieh?

    You are correct, you have not. I see NOTHING wrong with how you manage your cattle. It's easy to see you enjoy your cattle, and thusly you pamper them. I would assume you would handle them differently if you relied up your cattle to make ends meet. You don't, so you should manage them to...

    Upgrade or Resource bull? Gelbvieh?

    While I love looking at Bright Raven's cattle and calves, I'm afraid moving them from their lush environment to my humid tropical mosquito infested Bahia pastures would create a rebellion of sorts. Not all can make it here. I have culled those who are hard doing in my environment over the...

    Upgrade or Resource bull? Gelbvieh?

    I used to have some behemoth simmy cows, but most of those moved on.... As of today, I only have a couple left, and only one that will never leave my pasture (wife's favorite). The main problem I have with my current herd is I want to moderate them to around 1200 lb average, and I want to...

    Upgrade or Resource bull? Gelbvieh?

    True Grit, What South are you referring to? South Dakota? If you are meaning large frame, I would agree wholeheartedly, but most of the quality cattle I see in my neck of the woods (south central Florida) have at least moderate or better bone. Just came home from the other side of the...

    Which CE Angus bull?

    There are a lot of people who know far more than I do about the Angus breed. I will ask this. Have you looked at Coleman Charlo? He does meet your calving ease and milk requirement, and he is a nice looking bull.

    7 degrees of separation: The angus breed of the future?

    I think most would rather we just shut up and not let the cat out of the bag, per se.

    7 degrees of separation: The angus breed of the future?

    TGF, I don't think there is one breed association that the number of new registrations is not their #1 goal, or measuring stick. Not saying associations don't provide solutions, but AAA, ASA, and the others measure themselves based on their new digits. Incidentally, is it possible that AAA is...

    Best Clean-Fronted Angus Bull

    I have a herd of Simmental, and quite frankly, the front end is the first place I look. It's not that it's the most important aspect, but it is important to me as I have a few cows that are a little sloppy in the front.

    Ai class on the farm

    I just completed an ABS AI course, but we used dairy cattle that were headed to slaughter as soon as we finished. I'm 6'-00" and I still had to stand on my tiptoes on several of them. Some were easy, and some very difficult. They say beef cattle are easier, and I hope they're right...

    Help-AI Trouble

    Geezz... I just took the ABS AI school, and I thought all beef cows were supposed to be more agreeable than the dairy cattle we practiced and tested on...! :shock:

    Placing embryos 30 days after calving

    I'm confused. Are you planning to AI or give them embryos?
  13. Gators Rule

    I like this bull.

    depends on the breeding of the heifer in question. Most of the Dream On sons usually work out good, but there are plenty of other lines that would perform as your answer.
