In my part of the world (Kansas) I think the best time to sell is when we get some rain.  I would background them as cheap as you can and see if this weather will turn around.  If we get some wheat pasture, the calf market will get better in a hurry!

If you go to www.angus.org then go to the API/Angus Journal link and look up sale reports the results of the Eby sale are on there as I looked at it yesterday

Angus are in Kansas City not Springfield

I'd make sure you have the cattle full before turning them on and only leave them on for two or three hours for the first couple of times if that is possible.  Beans can cause them to bloat somewhat like grazing alfalfa.  If you could feed some bloat guard to them it would help

Hanna you can't use paint on a calf anywhere at a Junior Angus show.  At junior nationals and other shows they white rag the cattle going into the make up area and dismiss anything that shows coloring.  You can however use adhesive and pink oil etc in aerosol cans but you can't use them in the...

Well, I'll tell you my experience but since I am from Kansas and I see you are from Canada I think the weather conditions that effect silage will be drastically different.  It is possible to repack silage but I don't think it's possible to get it packed as good the second time for some reason. ...

Upward was not producing last fall and his semen got up to $200 some places but then he started freezing again and he was back down to 40.  Final Answer is producing but at almost 12 he can't keep up with the demand.  His semen has gone up to 40 and there is a waiting list of orders for him if...

We have used mineral oil over the years with pretty good success.  I think the previous post about Crisco would be about the same deal.  If you can spray it on the night before you try to wash them it can really help!

A little extra feed and some good alfalfa

I would be careful what cows you breed BC Lookout to.  I have seen some really good calves out of him but I think you've got to breed him to really big cows to get heifers big enough to be competitive.  I love the calves out of him but most of the ones we have had just were undersized to show...

I would agree with the impossible to unroll statement.  We just bales some stalks and we had a bale that failed to tie string correctly so I took the bale truck down to unroll the bale and all I got was a little core on the rollers and a big pile of cornstalks I had to string out with a...

I think it depends on the judge but I think 1250 to 1350 ought to be good.  I like ours to weight about 1275.

Two really good ones that I am familiar with are Earl Kuhn from Medicine Lodge, Kansas and Judy Mackey from Cottonwood Falls, Kansas

We put ours on with a blower fogger.  We mix it with Kleen Sheen.  Never had a problem with the fogger plugging up.  It can be a little messy!

EMAW!!  Rock-Chalk Chicken Hawk

We have had two Mira Founts for about twenty years.  We have problems with the balls freezing if we don't have enough cattle drinking at them.  We have had only one time where the valve froze and we took the generator and a hair dryer and thawed it out.  When it is real cold here (Kansas I'm...

Man I got a queesy stomach just watching.  I climb our 60' grain elevator leg and I think that is too far up in the air.  I don't know where they find people to do this.  We are lucky they do because I don't know what we'd do without radio, television and cell phones. God bless em and pay them...

Hey, I bleed as much purple as anyone. However, why can't kids just score a touchdown and hand the ball to the ref?  Marcus Allen once said after scoring a touchdown you should act like you've been there before and plan on going back.  I think the call was wrong and that others got away with...

It may be that steers skeleton but the one that is prominently on display in the Weber Lecture hall is alot older than the early 1970's and that is the only one I know about.

Now I'm not trying to be an axx  but Rafter S Ranch is Jason Shepard.  He manages Express' R3 division in Wellston OK.  First Rate was a member of the Denver carload for Express.  I could have given Jason's cell number but I didn't think it needed to be out on the internet.  Ask for Mark Squires...
