The more I look the more I'm leaning towards a PB simmental. I need to get on the phone with someone from griswolds or yardleys and ask some more questions. I do like the duff and occ suggestions though. We've been building a registered angus herd of around 60 and growing for the past 2-3...

Looking to AI breed 40 commercial Angus X cattle to make females that will produce some good club calves. These commercial cows are +- 1300lbs , very feminine, and plenty of milk. Looking for a bull that will add some depth, muscle, and rib shape while keeping a similar mature weight. These cows...

We always just use the first number as the year that heifer came into production, not the year she was born. Along with that all we do is put a sire abbreviation on the back, and if she's a retained heifer we add her dam's number. Then for calves we match their mom's number and put the month...

I need tips for fitting and clipping calves with thick, course, untrained hair. I've only ever worked on good haired cattle, but I'm trying to help some friends out this week. How do you get body hair to pop or stand when its only been worked a few times? I know there isn't a substitute for hard...

Put her in a squeeze chute and tie her foot up so you can get that nail out, then put her on some albon and soak, soak, and soak that foot.

How bout we just do away with parties, and then actually elect the best man/woman for the job. While we're at it why not cut the presidential term to one 6 year block so we don't have to put up with all this tiptoeing around the tough issues for 4 years just so they can get re elected.

I have  a couple red simmi cows I'm looking to AI to make replacements. They have plenty of bone, guts, and milk. I need something that will help with teat size and maybe put a little more structure to the bag. I was thinking to make good sim angus replacements northern improvement would be a...
