Does anyone remember when you got a new book in the mail they always had a hip height and a weight on every bull? For me that was helpful if I had a cow that needed downsized or a little more growth in their calf.

I have a problem with a sale that is supposed to end at  6 and you have the winning bid on something and the sale drags on because someone bid on another lot and that keeps the whole sale going. Then after 2 hours of extending someone all of the sudden bids on what you should of had bought 2...

For me it was Ildeno. Makes me think I should have raised goats. (thumbsup)

I have clipped a lot of bulls over the years that have been fed in feedlots for production sales. As far as I know there have not been any problems with fertility. The owners I have clipped for always have them fertility tested at the end of the feeding period before I clipped them and only the...

That's a real nice calf Tallcool. Where are you going to end up with him?

All I will say is you can't believe everything you hear or see. Dealt with these people before.

Is it considered overkill if you are a club calf producer and when your kids get old enough to show you send them to town with some of your better calves?

We faced this problem several years ago. Both boy's showed and played baseball. When they got older they started playing on select travel teams. There was no way they could do both. We couldn't be out of town for the weekend or a week and do a good job of taking care of the calves like we needed...

Boy this is an old one isn't it? (lol) A few years ago we had a steer to butcher. I always ask the butcher to let it hang 21 days. They would only let it hang 14 day's. My oldest son ( who was going to college at West Texas A&M University ) said dad I will butcher him. He came home and we killed...

I agree with this. A few years ago we had a guy write a check for a heifer that bounced. Tried to get a hold of him and he disappeared. (This guy lived in another state.) I called that county's DA and talked to him he tried to prosecute him but he left the state and they couldn't find him...

We always use a donkey to halter break calves. Back in the day we had to many to halter break by hand and now I'm to old and crippled. We put the collar on the donkey and hook them about two foot apart. You don't want a donkey that is broke to lead because the calf will lead the donkey. Contrary...

I won't be around a computer tomorrow so I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving today! Hope you have a safe and wonderful day with your family and friends and have a lot to be thankful for.  <party> (clapping)                   

I don't know about all of you but I am getting tired of reading the news and seeing parents arrested for spanking their kids. What the he11 is the matter with this country? Parents need to start being parents and not homies to their kids. If this would have been the attitude when my kids were...

I have to agree with titan. I have bought through both Breeders World and cwcattle sales. The things I liked about cw was I could pay on line with a check right after the sale whereas with Breeders World I had to mail a check. Also whether I spent a few hundred dollars or several thousand they...

Parker and your family are in our prayers.

Sorry to everyone if I didn't make my first post clear. Yes it was the manufacturer that pulled it off the market voluntarily. Do NOT FEED ZILMAX OR OPTIFLEX TO HORSES!!!!! There are other ways to increase muscle in horses which I won't discuss here.

What I am about to post is based on my own observations and opinions. First of all Zilmax was NOT taken off the market by the FDA. Merck pulled it off the market after a couple of the larger packing plants said they wouldn't accept Zilmax feed cattle because of soundness problems. When both...

That's what we did about four years ago. Engine went out of the dually and it was cheaper to buy a truck. Found a 2000 single axle Sterling for $7000. About what putting an engine in would have cost but have a lot more power and braking. Believe it or not it does better on fuel as well. DOT is a...

Congrats Zach! Thank you for your service. Good Luck  (clapping) <party> <rock> <beer>

Bingo!   I see the wordage "seller retains the rights to one flush..." as more of a platitude trying to accentuate the animals value. Like a previous poster said: how many sellers truly exercise this right? I guarantee if you have success with that female the seller will be knocking down...
