And just like that, I stopped receiving the daily posts emails. What is the email address that these emails are coming from? Perhaps Hotmail is blocking them?

I have always used Angus bulls in the past but 2 years ago we moved to a Hereford bull. We've been buying commercial Brangus but surprise, surprise! not all of them are really full blood Brangus. The end result that this post is getting to - I occasionally have a few calves that have horns...

Very interesting article on how U of Nebraska, USDA, and U of Kentucky developed a gene edited calf that is resistant to BVD. BEEF Magazine Bovine viral diarrhea virus can be disastrous to pregnant cows because it can infect developing calves, causing spontaneous abortions and low birth rates...

This Brangus heifer was about to calve. She was quite docile until about 4 days before she calved. Then she started getting quite irritable. After she calved she was extremely protective - dangerously protective. I'll definitely have to watch my back for her. Since she calved much later...

A bit of a read but very interesting. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the brilliant thinkers of our time and I think most people here can relate to what he says. Farming and virtues. You must subscribe to read the link, so I put the text below. Victor Davis Hanson on the Farmer's Virtues...

BEEF Today article It's about dang time! Please contact your reps to support this bill. The bill would allow livestock producers the ability to "take" the black vultures. Mar 09, 2023 It's not hard to find a cattle producer who has had a problem with black vultures and the threats and...

I'm moving my breeding season to May - June so calve in late February through March. I have several heavies that are due to calve late March early April and I'm concerned they might miss the breeding season. Is there anything I can do to help them get bred this year or should I sell them as...

I like to unroll hay to spread out the cows. I get less fighting, more polite cows that don't try to squash me. The babies get a dry place to lay and with the frequent trips to feed, the babies are very uses to humans. Keeping the waste to minimum and unrolling only what they need in a 24...

Does anyone here have a vineyard? I am looking at planting a commercial vineyard and other growers who are not livestock people said that they spend an insane amount of time mowing between the trellises. I was wondering if sheep could be used to control the grass once the vines are mature?

Do any of you use the internet to sell replacement heifers? If so, what and how to you use it? I realize Cattle Today does not have a forum for sales, which is fine because I'm looking for a more local market. Do you have any tips for on line sales? Thanks!

Background - Our house sits on top of a hill and has some really nice views. We built the house with these in mind because my husband is disabled and during the very hot and very cold times of the year he cannot leave the house. The views make it seem less like a prison and we can see long...

Has anyone used persimmon seeds to forecast the weather? I split a seed a few weeks ago and it was a spoon - cold wet winter, snow. The last time I saw this was in the fall of 2020, ahead of the worst winter storm Texas ever had. I mostly see the knife and I've never seen the fork, but...

So last Friday the big boss gave us Friday afternoon off so in my mind, what was the point of going in on Friday morning? I could get more fencing some and work on my new deer blind and feeder spot. Then I realized I had to also take off Tuesday afternoon, so coming off a 4 day "holiday" what...

When trying to find the right processor, what questions should be asked? I know kill date is important, but what about other questions? Definitely need a cut sheet... :unsure:

From the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers newsletter. COW-CALF CORNER: IMPLANTING NURSING CALVES I've always used Ralgro, which can be implanted very early, less than 30 days of age, but I generally wait until 2-3 months of age. I've been looking at Synovex. Does anyone have a preferred...

I was reviewing my farm and ranch policy and asking for comparisons from a few different companies to make sure I had the best policy for my operations. Several companies included a theft and death loss rider for my herd. I seem to always think about it at this time of the year - springtime in...

Bayer declares force majeure Bayer AG, the maker of Roundup, declared a force majeure, meaning it may not be able to meet its sales agreements for glyphosate or glyphosate-containing products. The company's notice cited mechanical failures. This suggests supplies for postemergence herbicides...

When I bought my Hereford bull, the owners of Atlas Farms said to cull any heifer that doesn't shed her coat early and recommended reading Man Must Measure by Dr. Jan Bonsma. Unfortunately, I cannot find a print version of his book, but I'm curious, why focus on early hair shedding? Today I...
