We are running a few cows for some folks and was wondering what cost/head/day people usually charge for both feeding hay, and running on pasture.  Some are pairs and some are heifers so.......  and just an FYI we are in the great state of CO.

I have a question about feeding breeding heifers.  What % of their body weight should you be feeding and what should the ration look like.  End goal is to be competitive in the show ring and have a heifer that will settle and not be morbidly obese at the end.   

I want to know what is everyones favorite clubbier Simmi bull.  I am looking for something with guts and fleshing ability.  Something that isn't  monstrous when it comes to frame size.  Something that would make good steers.  Give me your opinions and why.

We have a cow that has developed a severe case of mastitis post weaning.  She has an entire rear quarter that is black and looks like it is detaching or getting ready to open.  I am sure the cow will not be worth keeping.  However, she is currently about 5 months pregnant. Would it be worth our...

What can anyone tell me about this bull, SAK Shelby 2Y.  He was on display at NWSS and I haven't seen, or heard anything about him since.  All I know is what little information I could google.

I found this to be an interesting read because I guess I was ignorant to what Anthrax really is.  My heart goes out to the folks involved.... media release Colorado Department of Agriculture                             www.colorado.gov/ag www.facebook.com/coloradoag FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...

Does anyone know if there is an educational Ipad/Iphone App for quizzing on livestock body parts and/or cuts of meat?  Kind of like the Horse 360 app.  I am looking specifically for beef and swine.  If not would someone please make one.  Thanks in advance :)

We had a calf (bottle baby) that would bloat after we let her out of her pen and she ran around.  If we let her out prior to eating in the evening she usually did fine, but anytime post eating even four hours or so after she would still get an acute onset of bloat and this most recent time she...

Ok nobody brow beat me for asking this question, but how much does breeding to a TH or PHA carrier change things in terms of size and BW of the resulting calves.  I know and understand how TH and PHA occur and all the specifics when it comes to that.  We have clean females and have never bred to...

Colorado club pig sale. See flier.

Has anyone seen Amen, seen any calves out of Amen, have any information about Amen that they would like to share?  I saw some pictures of calves on a blog or something a couple months ago and now cannot find anything and no one seems to be talking about him either.  I was thinking about using...

Ok all you smarties out there I need an opinion on a new orphan calf we purchased for my daughter for a peewee 4-H deal.  I think I know what I need to do, but I would like your opinion.  Ok here goes....the calf is approx two days old and her legs are so weak she cannot stand up for more than a...

We are looking for a good Angus bull to breed to our old school clubby bred female to.  She is Maine, Shorthorn, Chi and a touch of Angus.  She is getting up there in years and we want to try and get at least one more replacement out of her that would be able to raise some steers.  She needs...

We have a couple steers one is a Chi cross (1600lbs and 55" @ the hip)  and the other is a Maine (1400 lbs and 52" @ the hip) both are pretty framey calves and definitely not your standard tiny little show steers. They both have a reasonable amount of cover on them although I would like to see...

I know if anyone can give me a straight answer it is the crew on SP.  I have a question about carcass yield.  We recently butchered a 1200 lb steer not overly fat, not huge boned, just your good, fat, run of the mill steer.  He weighed 746 hanging, so a good 62% yield at that stage.  My...

We have a couple of steers that need to put on some fat.  They are currently on a complete feed and we have access to soybean oil.  Can we add soybean oil to their ration?  If so how much/day?  Any other suggestions are welcome  :)

We have a steer that has very, very loose stools and has had from the beginning and it doesn't seem to matter what he is eating.  I see this being a fitting nightmare.  Does anyone have any ideas.  We have done Bolus' we have done probios we have tried beet pulp (helped slightly but we had to...

I am just wanting more info on JSAR Mr. Rodman.  What does he work best on?  What are his daughters like?  Does he make better steers or heifers?  Any information would be appreciated.

These are a couple of our 2011 babies.  The BW calf is a Tiny Tim out of a Hard Core heifer.  87 lbs with a mild assist.  He is one week in the pictures.  The red and white calf is a Tiger Woods out of a Tequila Cow.  He was our Valentine's Day baby.  No birth weight yet and no assist.
