Are you in south TX? What direction? Have a friend who grows alfalfa, might work it out. The fired out  there have been horrendous this year!

Are your cattle fairly tame? What breeds are you planning on working through? Are you looking for used, economical? A few more details and I'm sure we could get you going in the right direction. 

Ummm, kinda contradicted what yoy previously said about your parents and original acres names, don't ya think? Those dont seem very original..... Sorry op, no advice. Rockn M.... M is last name, rockn is ib the brand.... Rocking M

Love the white lashes on the dark eye! Cute!

Would love to see pics of the others matured! The bull looks very nice.

Does anyone blow in shaving cream anymore? That's what we use to do

Had the same problem with a neighbors corriente (roping bull). The sob stuck his horns in the wire and twisted, tore up the whole fence. After a month of the bs, and owner denying it, we loaded the bil into a corral, told him to get him and move him to another pasture. The fees for abortion...

I've never played, but would like to learn.  Put me in!

Does it sound like founder? Even though he never went off feed?

I went and checked out the steer that we sold. Have been keeping tabs on him and his progress, advising when asked. But, hes got a problem. He is ouchy in his feet. He gets up travels the pasture, gets cocky, but is definitely ouchy. He also had a but of selling in the left rear cannon. He has...

Snake bite is huge swelling, puncture holes, and drainage. Last summer we had a young weaning heifer get bit, and it was bad. Ended up messing up her hoof from the sloughing of hide and extreme swelling. Lots of antibiotics in her, and lots of drainage.

Shes a great looking heifer! So in roughly 20 days she gained nearly 100lbs? Or was it a bit longer? What is she being feed?

I too would have him out of the cooler no matter how hot. Do you sacrifice hair for a lame calf? Turn him out around 8pm, till 6or 7am. Hes needs to move. He is getting stiff from lack of movement, and that's going to bite you hard, worse than any lack of hair.

My thought is, if you can't run a bull with cows on minimal feed, is he really worth it? Going to a bull sale, a cow sale, a clubby sale, with the amount of grains and additives pumped into them, its not a true representation of the animal.  The bulls fall apart, and can't handle themselves nor...
