Got home tonight to thirsty cattle and no water in the house.  Got the neighbor who digs wells over and he says we need to add another 100 feet of pipe or so.  We had an irrigation well that we knew was getting touchy but this was a little more startling to discover. We are in one of the less...

Hey y'all.  I've been asked to do a few pictures for a friend and I have no idea how much to charge.  How much have y'all charged or payed for on-site pics?  I will not be doing the fitting, just taking the pictures and photoshoppping the halters off etc.  Feel free to message me if you don't...

I just got a new Mac and was wanting to get into some photo editing for a little bit of a hobby/spending money maybe.  Is there a program that anyone really loves besides the obvious Aperture or Photoshop?

Got home yesterday and all of the cattle were in the pens pushing like they were being worked.  Baffled, I walked around and found one of the neighbor's nanny goats wandering around trying to follow them.  Our cattle have never laid eyes on a goat before but the nanny had come from a pasture...

Well folks, the old camera has bitten the dust.  I need something that will take good cattle pictures, landscapes across fields, as well as indoor shots.  I would like to keep it below $300 but I also want the best camera for the money.  If you have any suggestions for cameras that you either...

I was just wondering what brand feed grinder y'all would recommend.  Our Gehl has about bitten the dust and they claim they don't make them anymore and used ones are sky high so I was wondering from anyone who has bought a new feed grinder lately what brand(s) you like or dislike. 

I was flipping through a friend's books from her animal science classes at Auburn University and one said that Simmental cattle need to be managed more like dairy cattle as they are higher volume milkers and typically hard keeping.  We have never messed with them much but the ones I have seen...

If anyone has any pictures they would be willing to post in replies that I could put in a slideshow for a high school livestock judging team, that would be amazing.  I have copied a bunch of pictures from the site and others but you would be amazed at how few there are that are ideal for...

I was just wondering y'alls opinions on the next great bull, either a name of an up and coming sire or your speculations on a pedigree that you feel will produce the next big thing, either for the show ring or the pasture.  <cowboy>

We have always fed an approximately 18% protein 4% fat feed for creep feed but recently I have been thinking about a more concentrated feed with the theory that the calves will get more raw nutrients from a more concentrated feed while needing to eat less.  Am I on the right track or would it...

just thought I would mention it in case anyone has missed it...It took us long enough though

Is he heifer safe?  I came across some semen for a deal and was told he is heifer safe, topsires lists him as such, but I've been told by a couple of people not to breed heifers with him...any experiences?

I'm planning on going up friday to the heifer sale and staying saturday for the steer sale, will anyone else be around?

I am doing a research project on cloning cattle for my Honors presentation in my masters program.  Do any of y'all have any good websites or people to contact for more information.  I feel like I have enough information but it is not all exactly cattle related and I'm sure there is better info...

In Red's absence, the boards have become a little less nice than they were when we had her, so to honor Cathy let's all share a story about breeders, fitters, planeteers, and anyone else who helped you or someone else out at some point that made an impact on you.  Please keep it civil and y'all...

A friend has asked me to find him a Char cross steer to show at prospect shows in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi this summer/fall.  Char colored or chromed up would be nice.  Fallborn calf with good potential please.  If you have anything please pm me with details or post pics/price...

What art y'all's thoughts on the best maternal bulls available right now?  Please state the breed before the bull since some on here are not aquainted with common cow family names and such.  Let's make this something informative and interesting for the newbies and no controversy please  <cowboy>

It seems like all of the shows are getting deeper and much better quality, local ones around here especially.  The National Peanut Festival Junior show for instance was far and away probably 3 or 4 times deeper this year in quality even though numbers were a touch off.  It was especially...

We are putting on a youth horse judging clinic and need door prizes.  I know this isn't a horse place but I can't be the only one that splits my time between different quadrupeds :)...I have a bunch already but any I don't have would be helpful.  As a member of a recent nationally ranked team we...

It's in Orlando this year and I was just wondering if any planeteers will be going.  I definitely will be there  <cowboy>
