    Replacements Heifers from these Angus cows

    I may be behind the times but I got some Macho and DO to use this year on commercial angus cows to get replacements.  DO obviously has been heavily used but there must be a reason. I would also look at Felt Next big thing and also Rave Defiant owned by Felt.  I have a Defiant heifer out of a DO...

    Best Clean Bull for Steers?

    I am not for sure if he is 1/4 maine but how about one & only.  I haven't raised any yet but have some due in a month. I am hoping for the same thing as you. The potential of a good steer if not hopefully a some nice heifers that has enough maternal influence from the dam's side.  Sorry if he...

    portable cattle scales

    Per reading other posts on here about scales I decided to buy some load bar scales from palletscales.net this fall.  They were less exspensive than others I looked at. Free shipping, the custormer service was good, and they shipped promptly.  I am really happy with them so far. I built a...

    How common is a false heat?

    I searched this topic but was wondering how common a false heat is during pregnancy?  We combined cows from 3 pastures last week on Thursday and yesterday I had two of the better cows (typical) seem to be in heat. They both came from the same pasture. Two of the bulls were following them around...

    June calves?

    we'd sell every male calf on the place for reasonable money- just to get them in someone, anyone's hands, instead of market.  Don't care who much the middle man made on them... [/quote I feel the same way. I just want to help someone who can't afford the high priced calves the oppurtunity to...

    June calves?

    I have a couple nice late calves that weren't born til  mid June and will be too young for most fairs here in the midwest and was wondering if they fit for any shows and if so what part of the country? Also, how would you go about selling to them, ex. find a trader in that area or ???  Thanks

    Choice of Bulls.

    I think both of those bulls would be choices. I had used Sunseeker several times on commercial cows and never had a bad calf. He isn't as popular as others but we got some really good heifers and the steers always grew great. Sold some heifers and kept a few and also kept one for a bull out of...

The one out of the WMW cow is getting better but the other not so much.  Have another calf that is spose to be a fat butt but I am having him DNA tested to see if the semen got messed up cause he is a stud out of...

    T-Magic Calves!

    Sorry, I should've put that on the original post.  He is a a bull I  raised out of Carnac and a Sim/Ang cow  These are some of the first calves out of him.  I have been pleased with them but obviously prolly a little biased so wanted to see what other thought.
