Do you have a neighbor who can do AI, or know of another breeder around who does? By my sister there's a couple small herds, and she has the owners set the cows up with CIDRs and provide the semen, and she goes and AI's the cows for them. She doesn't charge anything for them (just being...

One of our donor cows was in a standing heat within 30 days. She was flushed on her 2nd heat and we got 20 good eggs.

We never had a problem with Sagahatchee offspring or EXT for that matter, but our cows are extremely docile.

They're bringing between .90-.98 here.

From the sale results I've been emailed and people I've talked to around here, bull prices have been about $3500.

How much are herd bull prospects going for in your area? We had an inquiry on one of our bulls and told them the price was $2500 and they said that was too high, and the same day had a guy want 2 bulls because our price was too good. I read somewhere that you should expect to pay for a bull...

We bought a StrongHold chute in October. So far, we've loved it. I believe they come out of Clarion, Iowa. Both sides of the chute swings out, and it has a bar on the inside so the rear of the animal can't swing out. Makes getting to some of the hard to reach places like the belly easy to...

I think this has been a long time coming.. In a Dec. 4 interview with The Gazette, Leachman also said he intends to build back his Hairpin Cavvy horse breeding business. “Do you understand when I go into a pasture and animals are not content — and I mean I'm talking about to a degree that 90...

Here's an update. Looks like the horses are going to get some help. Hay is on the way to the hundreds of hungry horses on the former Leachman Cattle Co. Home Place ranch east of Billings. In what has been dubbed Operation Home Place, Justin Mills, executive director of the Northern...

The man who sold our bulls for us passed away a few weeks ago from a heart attack. Very sad for us as he was a good friend as well. Well, there's been some shake ups as far as new management in his old business, and although we have been cooperative with the new guy (who isn't that new, we've...

They help some, but you have to have them on all the time. You'll also need to make sure you wash the calf really well under the sweats so they don't get skin problems and their neck will need to be dry when you put them on.

Neat pictures Randi.

We planted turnips a few years back to give the cows something to eat in a pasture that we were getting grass established in. They never touched the stuff. They had access to 40 acres of turnips and 10 of grass, they stayed in the grass the entire time until they got rotated to a new pasture.

We have an 18 yr. old commercial cow who has had a steer every year. She still looks like she's 6.

I have a cow that has had twins every year (3 years) when we AI'd her, this year she was pasture bred and only had 1. She's the only cow we've ever had to have twins consecutively.

I'd be worried that even if you halter break her and she breaks fine and turns into a 'nice' animal, once she calves (if you plan on breeding her) she might go back to her 'nasty' ways.

We calve the majority in Feb-March with a few in January and April. Wean the first part of Sept. (that's our labor day fun) The steers and first round cull of heifers go usually late Oct. or Nov.

We do spring calving, or I guess it's more like winter calving. There's a lot of pros and cons to doing either. The reason we have spring calving is because we sell a lot of bulls and females, so our buyers want more mature calves. However, with spring calving you market your calves when...

We have always used Y-Tex, they stay in for the most part and don't fade.
