Anyone have any luck setting a compound leg break for a calf? I've tried twice and haven't had any luck. Both times the leg lost blood flow and I ended up putting them down after 2-3 weeks. I spoke to a vet and he didn't recommend bothering to set the leg with a compound. He said it's most...

Look like some nice bulls. I like the first 2 pictured

Don't you have an affinity for Brahman? Some of these look good, and they're in your range. https://www.cattlerange.com/listings/2024/04/5-reg-brahman-bulls-southeast-ok/

The literature that I have seen regards +/-teat and udder structure as "moderately heritable".. that would be enough for me not to retain the bull if I would potentially save replacements sired by him

Got tired of bottle feeding my 2 twin cast-offs and purchased some help this weekend.

I tip my hat to you northern guys. I stopped feeding hay on April 12 this year.

Looks like he has a lot of frame for a 14 month old

Having said that, for just driving cattle, I'd vote heeler. For anything above and beyond driving: border collie (the heartier BC's, not the sheep or geese ones)

In my experience you get 5 stupid cattle dogs for every good 1.. and a lifetime for 1 great dog.. and then once you realize you've really got a great cattle dog, it gets run over by a truck. Much easier to train your cows to follow a bucket.

Pulled the trigger on him this morning.

Wow you guys will argue about anything

Really like the 57 and 61 cows. They're very fancy

CC7 was a great bull. He did add frame. He also would sire the most gentle and docile calves. You could breed him to a Water Buffalo and have a child show their calf.
