Mark,     What's the reg# on the roan bull and where can we get semen on him? Do you think that bull could compliment these heifers? Thanks, DHS

One of the show creep rations we make is: 30% Corn 15% Oats 25% PreCon Complete 20% Purina Grand 4-T-Fyer 5% Cottonseed Hulls 5% Liquid Molasses Thanks, dhs

The Accuration Range Supplement 33 that I have been using is medicated with Rumensin, It has been running somewhere 37 to 38 dollars per hundred.

Our creep ration: 60% cracked corn, 20% cottonseed hulls, and 20% Accuration  range supplement 33. We always start them off with a non accuration mix to get them started good, once they are eating good we just put the accuration mix on top, it blends in with the other feed so they can adjust...

I believe he could be registered as a 1/2 blood shorthorn plus.

This is our young bull calf. I just wanted to share a few pics. I really don't know what my long term plans with him are. ie... promote him, sell him, or just enjoy having a nice herd bull. I have been trying to concentrate on my shorthorn breeding program, but this guy has always intrigued me...

I was wanting to know what the recommendations are for pasture fertilization. For example how much 9-23-30 would i need to apply per acre, what time of year is best, and does it help to put it on half in spring and half in fall. Please be very specific and detailed. Also, please give facts not...
