Q 87 series squeeze chute by Arrowquip just might work for both cattle and sheep. Works real good with calves and cows

What is the calf eating, if grazing fresh winter annuals and forages with high water content that can cause loose stools

Might try deworming him with a different mode of action wormer. A few years ago a neighbor had a similar problem of loose stools calf just not quite performing. He had been using avermectin class dewormers, I went over and helped him treat the calf with prohibit that solves the problem. I...

Nice to see some good conversations not just the bots.  I guess the bull or bulls this site is responsible for introducing me to is the RS bulls.

Looking at a young Simmental bull prospect but he has nice little white ankle sock on both back feet.  I am concerned about the possibilities of him throwing spotted calves.  Any of you got any experience with this? I know his dam carries the spotter gene, she has thrown a couple of spotted...

Nice looking cattle.  Did you notice that most of those Angus Bulls are carrying 50% North American Genetics in their pedigrees?  The Shorthorn bull pictured is a product of mating 1/2 Siblings  the maternal and paternal grandsire is...

Nice calves,  they look good especially like the heifer.

I pulled up the picture of Enticer and the mom in question and put them side by side I was not there nor have I seen them in person but perhaps there is some resemblance. 

Mark, Glad those two are working well. As far as showing cattle that is a whole other world of hair. None of ours has enough hair for the show folks down here either. That is ok because outside of the show world down here hairy does not work in the commercial setting.

Mark, As far as looks, those two look just fine to me.  I do not know the temp range (time of year) of the first picture.  On the second picture taken today, I know you are further North than I am.  My main concern would be the hair on those two.  All things equal the hairier the cow down here...

Knabe, Which Maine influence from Texas? I ask because as far as I can tell there is no Maine or if it is there it was mislabeled.  I know I have heard stories of some cattle in there pedigree not being as was presented but no proof.  I have heard of Enticer being part Maine and stories of...

E6 Durhams the Goldspear connection isa distinct possibility. Waukaru Goldmine 2109 and ArSuLu Osage 502 both have Goldspear in common in their pedigree. The z model is an Osage daughter and the red and white C model is off of Osage as well.  As for as the rest of them they have Waukaru Goldmine...

Carl,  these cows are not hard doing under our management.  They might in a different environment but they also might be too easy of keeping in a different environment.  As for as calving ease, most of the calves weighs under 80 lbs at birth and in the last 10 years the only calves we had to...

Duncaggan, i can assure you we have not had calving problems from the Alligator head.  I can respect your opinion on the head and can only hope it is based on your observations or some data. Some would say if you go back and dig through the pedigree it is Enticer and Rodeo Drive. As for as...
