He is getting heavier and the road may hurt his feet. Try a different route?

All part of the plan -- the Great Reset: https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/shopping-i-cant-really-remember-what-that-is-or-how-differently-well-live-in-2030/?sh=32c8d7561735

This is just more vegan / enviro harassment.  They got the wolf introduction by ballot initiative so they can harass agriculture, especially on the West Slope and in the mountain valleys. Ag in Colorado is vastly outnumbered by the urban masses, but there are good animal protein customers in...

Calf weaning weights have started to plateau due to limitations in their environment despite all the hot rod growth genetics and schemes to make bulls with 1000 adjusted 205-day weights.  Weaning weight is highly important, but so is cost control and feedlot performance and feed efficiency and...

When we get droughted out we will pull calves early to make it easy on the cows and take pressure off the pasture.  I like to have them to 4 months minimum.  They can keep up with grass hay and a creep ration at that point and do pretty well.

If you search around they make little tiny lab spoons that will measure small amounts...

100 day supply going this route and don't have to count pills.  Still need an accurate way to measure it...

If you are in Wyoming and run at any elevation, pull up the entire pedigree on AAA and check the PAP EPDs on some of the Duff bulls and their relatives.  Maybe consider Conley South Point -- good foot and PAP EPDs.

I could always drop the belly feeding free choice grass hay.  The problem is they are can still be empty looking in the "triangle" from the last rib to the hooks and down.  Making this part look full on show day was always a challenge for us.

In the big pen (100'x120') just pile it up in the center about 8-10' high and the calves work it down to about 4-5' high and lay on it.  It stays pretty dry compared to the rest of the pen.  The smaller pens, just push it out to a pile and keep letting it cook -- someday get someone in with a...

Is this steer really sensitive about his head and feet?  A lot of cattle are deadheads and nothing bothers them, but I have had some that are extremely sensitive to the pressure of a halter and if you do not release the pressure as soon as they respond, they will throw a fit, run off, etc...

I finally watched the commercial this morning on YouTube.  It was a hokey, insulting, stupid and cultural misappropriative piece of crap.  If it does anything it will drive customers away from beef in general, not just from BK.  The sooner they file bankruptcy the better.

Here in SE Wyoming we are 100% rangeland grazing on native range with a couple of areas of domestic grass seedings.  I figure it takes 2.5-3.0 acres per cow per month (animal unit month or AUM) depending on the pasture.  We have about 12 pastures and try to stock them so that the pastures last...

Had one do that last year with yearling bull batting clean up.  Cows always seemed settled during July.  Beginning of August saw a different one in heat about every day.  Pulled another bull from the heifer pasture and put him in to salvage the operation.  Luckily most were stuck to AI, but will...

Every producer's resource base is unique.  If you raise a lot of irrigated alfalfa hay and are short pasture, then the choice is to sell hay or feed it and a higher input-output cow might be in order.  If you are long on grass and short on hay or have to purchase all your winter feed at high...
