    Critique this bull calf. 10 month old Beefmaster.

    Sotex, our cattle have the ability to produce a good bull and then they have bulls that we would not dare put out with our good cows as they will only drag them down. I have had my share of those as well. I am not cutting your cattle at all. I too have sent bulls to the sale barn because...

    Critique this bull calf. 10 month old Beefmaster.

    Now this is where I fall in the bucket of slop. I call a rat tail one that has no hair at all. I have a good heifer here at the house that has absolutely no hair and it loos like someone just told electric clippers and shaved all the hair off. It looks awful. But her hair is thicker than...

    Critique this bull calf. 10 month old Beefmaster.

    I don't like the leg set on the bottom calf that is nursing, but I am trying to see how much weight your bull carries comparing to this one and what seems to be their body type. But these other two bull calves carry more weight in muscle across the top as your bull calf has an A frame, where...

    Critique this bull calf. 10 month old Beefmaster.

    What are your plans with this bull? Are you going to use him as a herd bull or are you thinking about cutting him? Another comparison....

    Critique this bull calf. 10 month old Beefmaster.

    Let me find a picture of a beefmaster first. I can talk Angus, but not all animals are made alike, so I want to be fair.... First I lightened your bull so we could see what is hiding in the shadows...Here he is.........

    Replacement females???

    I would never, ever buy from a sale barn. It is not even a thought to go see what is there. I would buy from a big breeder who makes their living from raising bred heifers to sell. They have a yearly sale. Or even if a sale barn says they are going to have a purebred sale, and people are...

    Hello from Deep East Texas

    I am joining in this conversation sorta late. I am sorry about your Dad passing. When people begin to decline in the end, they just do not feel like taking care of things the way they used to. My husband was having so much trouble with both legs, a couple of years before he passed, and he...

    The not so fun part...

    Reading about what we have to pay to have taxes prepared and then paying the taxes, I think we need a crying emoji added to the mix. It sure fits the situation so often. Ha-ha!! -with tears.

    Blue Sky

    Our weather starts changing in February. I always think of God sending us samples of the spring. One day it may be in the 30's and then in a few days we are close to 70. I think, wow, when the number of days equal more 60's, it is going to be sweeter. I get so happy when those warm days...

    The not so fun part...

    I used to do Turbo Tax before I had head injury at work, and was cut loose. Did good with Turbo tax before. Then after the head injury, IRS wrote me two years in a row because I was not doing it right. Hmmm, not only did my employer think I was off in the head now, so did IRS. So I figured...

    Wow, that will be so nice. To dream of things and making your land better is great. Then get to follow through is so rewarding. Have a good time.

    Nothing wrong with the Lord sending you plenty of nitrogen in the rain drops from that electricity. He prepares you for the upcoming planting of the spring. I always think of that when I hear the thunder roll. I love storms but wish for no damage. A good thunderstorm is so nice.

    Cold bitz

    There were some people around here whining about our up coming week so I sent them pictures of Oscar and jcreekrch and his thermometer reading, and told them to get over it!! But, seeing and thinking what all of you up North or us and out northwest go through, makes me have to re-evaluate my...

    gcreekrch, does this cat ride with you all the time? You sure don't need to let Chore Cat out beause you will never spot him or her. The white will look like snow and the spots will be cow splats. Then, where is Chore Cat? Your cows look to be well cared for in that kind of weather.

    Some thoughts and questions about beef

    https://www.piedmontese.com/shop.aspx I am sorry for the slow response as soon as I started this post, company knocked on the door, and they stayed a while....... Right now, this site seems to have taken over all the meat purchases sites for some reason. But there is a site on Facebook where...

    Some thoughts and questions about beef

    First let me say, a person cannot afford to feed a family buying this meat unless they raise it themselves. So, I know this is going to turn a lot of you off, but if you had a couple of the cows and raised a calf or two a year for you own freezer, then you don't have to pay these prices...

    Some thoughts and questions about beef

    Jeanne, it is. Very little marbling, but that gene makes it very tender. It seems opposite what we know of in our Angus and other breeds. But when I first tried the meat, it tore on the grill when I picked it up. It was a ribeye, and I wish I had some of the beef now, but will just have to...

    Some thoughts and questions about beef

    In that chart, if you cross one Piedmontese cow and an Angus Bull, where the calf is 50/50, see in that chart how much you change the value of your meat? You raise the protein and stop the calories and cholesterol too. Just one or two cows in your heard to raise a calf to put up in the...
