    Where NOT to buy cattle...

    ...behind the scene in the barns at one of the country's biggest cattle shows. Specifically, the Cattlemen's Congress held in OKC last week. Especially when the folks you're talking to have a ginormous trophy for winning best of this or that perched on top of their grooming cabinet. But, 7k...

    Pictures at Given Weights

    I'm looking for good broadside pictures of cattle, preferably angus, at given weights all the way from 4 to 1100 or more. This is really just for me as a personal project. I'd like to see all of the side by side by side. Appreciate any input.

    Recommendations on buying new no-till drill

    I'd appreciate the groups recommendations on small farm no till drills for use in putting in winter time grazing cover crops. I've seen them priced really inexpensive and really expensive and would like something in between.

    What to do with feed "Fines"?

    Have been finishing a couple of steers each year for the past couple of years. Regardless of where I source a finisher mix there's always the fine particles that cattle just won't eat. If I leave it for the day and don't top off they'll hit it a little. Ultimately I there's still quite a bit...

    Overuse of Lutalyse Possible?

    Background: Cows, heifers, calves and bull run together all year long. Heifer calf is 4 months. No signs of interest from bull YET, but I know it'll happen eventually. I understand a dose of Lutalyse will end an unwanted pregnancy. My question is this, if given a shot every 3 months until I...

    Knee Replacement Tips

    Knee replacement surgery is planned for beginning of next month. Hay is in, feed is bought, shots been given. Anything else y'all can think of as I race towards using a walker for a couple of weeks? Wife is a trooper and is going to be a huge help with chores. PTL for her.

    Bermuda Sprig Grazing Wait Time

    Sprigged a couple acres with Ozark bermuda. Spread it off the back of a trailer with pitch fork, so it got spread pretty thick. It's been ideal growing conditions. Plenty of rain and hot. Sprigs have take off and are 8-10" tall now. Sprigs were put in June 24th. How long would you wait to let...

    Managing Ripgut Brome

    Afternoon all. Determined that I have an infestation of ripgut brome. Cattle won't touch it and it's become more voracious than other native pasture grasses. Looking for how others have managed it without removing the good...if possible.

    Fingers Crossed

    Fingers crossed that AI works this time. Started a registered Dexter cow this morning with a CIDR. She stayed open for spring calving AI earlier this year, but I wanted to keep her around and give it one more try. She came to me bred and had a nice bull calf, her second to my knowledge. I'll...
