Processing is scheduled for early December. Any recommendations for a feeding program? They will...

    Pick them apart

    These are just two fall bull calves I didn’t get cut. I pulled them out of the pasture last weekend and they will both either be going to the sale or be finished for my freezer. They have never seen any grain and have just been on native pasture with their mothers. The one with the green tag is...

    Fattening a calf for freezer

    To make a long story short, the bosses wife wants me to fatten one of their calves, it's been quite a few years since I've fed one up to slaughter. The best option right now is a 400-450lb angus bull calf that's getting weaned in the next week. What kind of a ration would you recommend for...

    Brahman question

    A friend of mine got this cow in a package deal he made on a herd of Angus cows, and sold her to me pretty cheap. What do you guys think of her? I know pictures aren't the best she's 4-5 years old never calved, should be bred but haven't been able to get her checked. I've got no experience with...

    Opinions on a red angus/jersey heifer

    This little heifer isn't mine but was offered to me relatively cheap. She's out of a jersey cow, sired by a red Angus bull, the owner said she's 8/9 months old. Any of you guys think she'd be worth picking up? These pictures aren't the best but they are what i was sent.

    New addition

    This is a new heifer I picked up the other day, don't know the exact breed, what breed/breeds do you guys think she is? While my vet was here looking at another cow he said he thought possibly shorthorn/hereford. So your guess is as good as mine.

    Python fly strips

    I just recently saw the python fly strips that you attach to your existing ID tags. I'm wondering if anyone has used these, and weather or not they're effective and worth buying for a small herd. Thank you
