Words can't say how awful this news makes me feel, as it has all of you.  We're going to miss ya cowgirl.  :'(    My condolences to her family and her steerplanet family.  You're all in my prayers.  Hang in there Gidget.

It said on tv the Special Olympics people aren't too happy with him either after his comment about bowling for the SO. 

movies:  Man From Snowy River & Return to Snowy River and of course Tombstone!

I'd worry about grafting him on a cow that hasn't been suckled in a week.  I'd tend to think she's already gone dry.  She may still have milk in her udder, but I'd almost bet that she won't produce enough to raise a calf.  Go with the good calf starter, just don't follow the directions.  Most...

Good luck figuring that one out.  Have an angus cow that we can catch any day of the week in the pasture, I actually AI her tied to the back of the truck, and her calves have been the goofiest things on 4 legs.  Also had a group of cows that we bred to our herd bull.  I was in and around these...

What is the average amount of time a calf spends in a feedlot? I'd love to hear more about the argentina beef.  Wonder if it's the breed or why it's so good.  This is all very interesting, when she said 4-5 years on grass I too thought, wow, too old.  I can remember eating a calf that had...

Maybe you need that stuff for grass fed beef.. JUST KIDDING.  Thought I'd let ya'll know, they moved my thread asking about grain fed beef from the main low carb lobby to a less visited, organic eating area.  It will surely die now.  I'm feeling like someone was trying to shut me up!    >:(   

Thanks ya'll for the great info.  Brent, have you ever tried the grass fed beef?  All arguments aside, I would like to see a taste test done by actual consumers.  If I knew where to buy some, I'd try a cut of it just to see.  Some say if you try it you'll never go back.. somehow I doubt it.  I...

I'm coming out of the closet.  Yes, it's true.. I belong to another board.  Please don't judge me, but it's a low carb way of life eating board.  There I've said it.. and I feel better!  (lol)    Seems like I might have stepped in it a bit over there and I came running back to solicit some...

Since she's had more than one not "that good", I would sure encourage her to have her steer prosessed somewhere else.  That has such a huge impact on how your beef turns out.  If you get your beef butchered and the packing house calls the next week and says your beef is ready to pick up... be...

Seriously?  You buy your semen because of the bulls name?  I personally don't see where they could prove you profited in semen sales by using their famous name.  You might remember the bulls name more easily, but I wouldn't buy based on his name. 

Fat... on a deer??.....    :o  You must have better feed for them than we do, lol.  Of course it would help if we didn't trophy hunt instead of getting some of the tastier young'uns.  No matter what recipe we use to cook venison, we've found that soaking them in milk before hand, helps with...

Had this the other night and it was fantastic. Slice the loin in 1/4" slices in a shallow dish, combine meat and enough milk to cover the meat.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-3 hours, drain and discard milk.  Cover with milk again and let stand at room temp for 1 hour.  Drain and...

His dam is a wyoming wind daughter.... probably the hottest charolais females on the market right now.  The breeder is LINDSKOV-THIEL and they put out some awesome cattle.  I'd say go for it.

We took a heifer to jr. nationals one year because it was the only calf one of our sons had to show.  The other son had a barn burner that hadn't been beat so we weren't about to stay home.  We loaded those two girls up and headed for the show.  After watching a few classes, we were kinda...
