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...

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...

Ok, so I havn't posted in a while, but thought I would get some opinions. This is a Char x  xblazer bull  (whiplash x C17 lineage) Check out our website....    www.rockn-m-ranch.com

What do your cattle records look like? Are they free books from the reps? Are they computerized? Can you share your clean forms with us?

We are 100 days from fair. When is the appropriate time to stop the growth and finish the steer? The steers are right at 950 to 1000 lbs. They are April calves, started on feed late, gaining about 120lbs per month (i know that seems crazy, but truth, 18% grain). What kind of ration do you put...

How have your alum grooming chutes held up? I am debating on building an all alum one vs the steel ones I have already built. Sullivans list a precaution with their alumn chutes. Are they really not that sturdy?

Just wanted to know what the ideal age was for the terminal market steers. We ideally use a 16-18 month old steer, but I know some (like with pigs) use older steers. Please chose an option, I left it as a poll for those who would like not be known.

Just curious! I am considering grabbing some semen, just havn't yet. I think his promotion has done good, and word it getting around about him.  (clapping)

We purchased 15 head of Charolais cows recently. The cows are older, in really good shape, and a great buy couldn't pass them up. Anywho, I would like some opinions on bloodlines if any Charolais guru's would care to take a look. Reg # F721100 F720019 F777735 F777734 F850959 F720486 F718381...

What do you have in your first aid box for the ranch animals? Just curious. With all the calves coming, cow issues, what do you have in your box?

We have a 9yr old cow, AI'd to calve in 3 days. She was found down with bloat yesterday. We got her bloat down, antibiotic'd her and got her on her sturnum.  She wouldn't get and up and still won't get up. We tried slinging her to get her on her feet to no avail. She is eating and drinking, and...

I was just wondering what everyone's actual breakdown of feed is for their steers and heifers. What percentage of roughage/ grain/ filler/ ect do you use? Do you change the percentages around once they get to a certain weight? How different is it feeding heifers vs steers? I know this info is...

For those that have to purchases these, where do you get them from? We have to use them because we are deficent, but only know of one place in which we can purchase them and they are kind of costly. Anyone have any leads?

I found the posts on implants, but had some further questions. I wanted to find out which brand is more widely used and why? As well as which type? I saw much reference to the Revalor brand, but that brand has many different types, "s", "is", "xs". When I was showing we used Ralgro. I didn't...
