Over on Facebook, there was a post about how nice people are in registered Hereford business. I am thinking they must have not been in the game very long to talk that way. For those who have been around registered cattle of any breed, we are well aware of shady dealings. The thing to remember...

What are the costs associated with taking a bull in and getting him collected? How many straws can be expected per collection?

The name of the NCBA convention says it all. Instead dealing with the existential issues that face the modern cattle industry, we instead get a knockoff of comic con the place were adults go to play pretend. Let's be real.

When I tried asking google, all I got was PETA saying dairying is bad.

I am a big believer that for the Hereford breed to be viable long term, we need to maintain as broad a breadth of genetics going forward. Here is the results of some of breeding, I am looking to move forward with: Here is a AI calf out of the old Courtney 20B bull. Here is an embryo bull calf...

Bull Sale season is starting up in California and this year there are going to be several fewer ma and pa breeders having sales. I find it very sad that the little guy is getting squeezed out by big money throwing its weight around.

Around here grain hay is $100 a ton wholesale. It costs around $50 a ton to harvest and contains $70 of NPK. Anyone who has to harvest hay at those prices is putting themselves $20 a ton in the whole before planting costs and rent. If any farmer is in the position where they have to generate...

I have been thinking a great deal about how as a society we have a mindset that the farm of days gone by is a place that we should return to. We are so lucky to live in a time where having to much to eat is a larger problem than starvation. And it isn't just quantity of food, never before in...

I have been looking at the price of feed recently and it looks like distillers grains is the cheapest form of protein around. I am thinking about feeding ddg in a salt limited mix. Thoughts on salt limiting and how to mix several hundred pounds of feed?

Last year, I bought a cow that aborted with the idea that I would try to breed her for a fall calf and if she didn’t settle I would flush her. Today she has cycled for the third time and it‘s time to start thinking about flushing her. I am leaning towards IVF since I don’t think she is...

I have a goal to have calves sired by bulls from as many different countries as possible in time for the upcoming World Hereford Conference. I have genetics lined up already from Canada, England, New Zealand, and I feel that Wales, Ireland and Australia should be achievable. If somebody wants...

We have used our main herd bull for six years and it is now time to move to on. I heard about the Spanish method of marketing old bull beef as something superior and I am interested in trying to market vintage beef in the way vintage wine is sold.

I want to make a business out of managing pastures and grazing livestock. I want to bridge the gap between crop consultant and animal nutritionist. I would like ideas on how to make that sort of business work.

Saw this while looking for a steakhouse in Buffalo, Wyoming.

I am Paul Strojan from California. I am joining Cattle Today because I am tired of seeing the little guy get killed. I believe that each area is different and we need cattle that are selected to work in our environment. I run a herd of Herefords that my grandfather started when he got back from...
