Hey everyone, I'm looking at fabricating a hoof trimming table.  Something for my personal use, an occasional cow or herd bull, but will be predominantly used on calves prior to sale and a few steers and heifer that I move locally.  I know my way around the old powder river tables, and am...

Had a baby calf born yesterday with some pretty bad knees on it. Calf was born big, around 90 pounds I'd guess, but was out of a very large mature cow. Cow is a comm. red angus cross, calf is out of a WMW son. Cow has never ever had structural problems with past calves, and this one isn't...

Here are a few rough pasture pics we snapped the other day on a few of the steers.  Im relatively new to raising club calves, hoping to peddle a few calves this fall.  I can sell county fair steers pretty easily, but hoping to step up my game a bit.  Local consignment sales?  NILE? This type of...

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a small hay farm in SE Wyoming, and am looking to revamp and rework an existing set of cattle facilities.  I am looking for input and help in designing an efficient set up that will be functional for many years to come.  This will primarily be used to winter...

So today I started a simple synch program on about 20 cows before they go out to pasture.  Just gave 5cc Lut threw on an estrotech patch and kicked them out.  This happened at 10 a.m. June 2.  I had a few cows floating around the corrals that were bred a few days earlier.  All of them were cut...

So this past week I was offered an opportunity to lease a a 40 cow herd of angus cows.  The lady leasing them is an old widow, and a neighbor of mine, who previously ran a fairly successful purebred operation along with her husband.  Since his passing she kept the cream of the crop, consistent...

So I went out to work with our show calves this morning and noted a bit of blood on caudal side of my show heifers tail this morning, but there was no blood on or directly near the vulva.  But it was close to vulva level, and was looked kind of stringy.  She should be 74 days bred.  Im pretty...

Thought I would throw up some pasture pictures I took this week.  Kinda rough looking, and had a heck of a time getting decent shots on my own, but was looking for some opinions on this set of calves.  I was thinking about marketing them as county fair calves, would this type fit the bill?  Just...

So with the help of you all, I finally bit the bullet and dove into the club calf business!  I really appreciated your help in selecting sires to use, and how to go about building a strong herd.  We'll see how it plays out within the next couple of weeks. Had my first A.I. babies hit the ground...

Im looking for ideas for a numbering system for a small cattle herd.  Right now i've got a disaster, with sale lot numbers still in, different than freeze brands, retained heifer with identical numbers as their mommas... I've got cows that are pushing 8 years of age and want to give each a...
