Sin City, TNT Those are two not mentioned I saw on the Cattle Visions bull list. Never thought about it until I married an AC/DC fan...our first big date was the 2009 concert in Tacoma, Wa.

At our fairs if they are all you have to show, you grab either the cow or the calf and hope they don't go bonkers being separated. If you have time I'd choose which you plan to use well before hand and make sure you work with them away from the other half of the pair. Generally it seems the...

We've always used with pretty good success a RV water filter. It screws right on the end of the hose and at least the ones we have got here are blue and probably in the $15-20 range, often the first day they still aren't too thrilled with it, but they come around quicker than without it. The way...

Here are a couple of photos of our late April Smokin' Joe Bull Calf.  As most of you probably know from my previous posts, he's out of a Moody Blues daughter. He's not the most cooperative about getting photos taken but these are about the we've got so far. Enjoy

Yes, she is tested TH negative, but PHA positive. I would never breed positive to positive, and wouldn't have even bought the semen if she was positive for TH. I agree there are a lot of other bulls I like, especially the Maines to produce replacement heifers, but we are in Oregon so there...

Hey again everyone. I finally got some photos of the Smokin' Joe calf the Moody cow had this year. He got off to a bit of a slow start, he was over 100 pounds and a bit dumb. With a little convincing he decided staying attached to the udder was a good thing and now he's growing well. Unlike some...

Thanks. I had seen that one. This is an older model so I was hoping someone might have something they know of. I'd assume it's similar in operation, just an older version.

Hi, Just curious if anyone knows of a link to operation information on this head gate. It's an auto/manual catch. I picked one up used today and wanted to get an idea of how it operates so I can make a plan for installation.  Right now it's hard to test levers and such with just someone else...

Thank you everyone for your input so far. We are not needing him to be a show calf by any means, just want to make sure he grows well and doesn't end up too far behind. Worst part about it is that it'll be hard to compare him to everyone else as he grows, hopefully in time he'll develop as well...

Hello, Yesterday we found the dam to the bull calf by Krugerrand 410H I've mentioned here before dead in the field. We aren't sure what happened, we found her after she'd been dead for a day or two. I am just hearing things second hand from my mom, but she was unable to find any bullet holes...

Here is a pretty good document to explain what EPD's are and how they are used. I'd read that a time or two and then start looking at sire directories and using the information you read to think about the numbers you are seeing. It's important to remember that EPD's can't be compared across...

I think the picture isn't the most flattering for his hip actually, he's stretched out a bit. We sold all the heifers from his first set of calves, so I am not sure how they have developed, all his calves from last year are still around and there isn't any that come to my mind in having a high...

Rock'n D Midland 2861 "ROCKY" 2/20/2008 BR Midland Grandson out of a B A R Ext Traveler 205 daughter This picture is of him at work last year, it'll probably be his last year on our place, we only have about 10-12 calves a year and we've been keeping back some heifers of his that are real...

Well, here are a few photos of him at 24 hours old. We're excited to see how he fills out and grows. Time will tell, but we're hoping he will fit our needs.

Very impressive female cattle nut! What is the bottom half of her pedigree?

Thanks, I really like some of the heifers they had in their sale. It will be interesting to see how he grows. The cow had one of the best calves the last two years so we're excited to see how he turns out. We made the switch from the rainbow/hodgepodge (we're talking a  jersey x charolais x...

Just curious if anyone has any experience with his offspring or any opinions. We just had a bull calf born today by him, who we are hoping will develop well and replace our current herd bull as we have kept several heifers over the last couple years...

I'd assume there is residue due to the fact that Zilmax has a 3 or 4 day withdraw before slaughter. I don't see why anyone would want to feed it for extended amounts of time, I've seen articles about it being able to be fed from 20-40 days, but that the optimal results are at 20 days. Why would...

Why hasn't anyone chimed in with what Zilmax is, what it does and why it does it, on a cellular and biological level? We had a pretty specific conversation about Zilmax both in the classroom and in the feedlot this past spring. I'm amazed that no one has talked about what it really does when...
