That would be my inexpensive 1930's facility. Sortation: Two bags of cattle cubes in barn...let all come in to eat....long pole tapping on the smaller calves for them to run out back into the corral...close back barn gate....and the real magic trick is running around the barn quickly...to open...

I have zero issue too Brute. It's always been KNOWN and a FACT you can safely breed father-daughter and mother-son SAFELY in any species, resulting in more than enough genetic diversity for healthy offspring. That said...it's best to remove those calves from the herd and sell them...or do safe...

Be interesting to see who fails first ...his wary 200 mile drive (4 hours) every few days-once a week....or his cows getting out. My money is on the cows pushing past the fence. I think the first time he rolls in after 100 miles and sees his cows gone, that are not cattle cube trained...his...

Bingo!...tell him what he's won Bob!

There's only two things he could have done under yout truck....turned the heavy-guage wire on the starter to make it tighter...or used a screw-driver to turn the starter's teeth freeing up the throw-out-pinion..i believe it was the second one.

I'm not doubting what the VET said.... i just think these calves were hidden away for 3 to 4 months by their mothers before their owner called them a newborn or the owner got his math/months or calves mixed up. Even with a quick 9 month gestation, that would be a 4 month old calf pregnant.

At some point I believe people living in Florida and coastal areas will "smarten up" and "give up" with insurance altogether and flock towards being self-insured if they don't have a mortgage. Once people start flocking out of expensive homeowners insurance, which they are already..... prices...

Today while I was just starting to dole-out cattle treats across the protective barrier...one of the cows started to come the wrong direction towards me...I stopped her by doing the "extended hand out" and told her "No!" and one of the more aware black baldy cows immediately came around to get...

Great looking bull...Everyone please pay close attention to that Advertising sign in the back ground. That's where the big sleeper money is. Stock ticker "LAMR" LAMAR ADVERTISING CO NEW CL A , Do Not Invest @ $100./share...wait until the next pandemic or fallout when LAMR stock drops down...

That's not cool....a bull's encroachment is serious business. I've trained my bull and cows to wait on the other side of the feeder troughs. They know key words "Stay", "No!", "Come-on". The cows are still worse than my bull now. Few years ago i had a few issues with my bull encroaching me while...

Oh, i think i know what you were saying...after the profit from B sales...those broke mouth cattle costs were lower. Correct?

So I'm still a bit confused...you were basically buying the broken mouths for lets say $800. individually and then sold 33 of them as a group for almost 34k. Where was the advantage...was that a seasonal sale barn thing of a grouping sale thing...whereby you can get more money in return.

Where or who did you buy those 41 broke mouth cows from? Why didn't that person or entity just sell them at the sale barn for $41k, their standing weight worth.

@LVR , sounds like you have an impressive set-up. I can only wish to have the internals of your corral...would make life easier. I weld but don't have any heavy pipe for my corral (yet), in less than 2 months @ 59-1/2 my world opens up monetary-wise so projects will become more numerous. For my...

LVR, agreed patience and routine are key...I learned a lot from watching "Farmer Tyler Ranch" on You Tube, that guy is awesome at sorting and loading. Have you watched Tyler? You know I only have two pens..where I sort them between the two and then to the outside...i wish i had 4 pens, like you...

Cattle ARE smart. I was so lucky- I sorted and loaded alone on Sunday to take into the sale barn. Basically, I had trained my cattle to be penned up and to go out the loading-open head gate...we did regular training. Then we did some sorting training. Everyone was free (happy) and got use to the...

I chainsaw them up and stack in piles. Make sure you only cut them in late fall...October to December cuts shock the tree and they have a better chance of dying off completely at the base during winter. Do not create a pile over any existing stump (as they do have a tendency to regrow). Two...

Best low-cost inconvenient method is to drive only after a rain....second high-cost method is to pave that 3.5 miles. What you really want to hear practically speaking... the best way to keep dust out of your cab....is drive at 5-mph, windows up tight, and no a/c fan on.

Here's how...you shall approach the cattle owner....to make peace. Respect is everything.
