    DSH + DSC ?

    So DSH means that visually there are no traits that you would correlate with DS?

    DSH + DSC ?

    What is DSH? I think you meant DSF? What I was told is it is the same, if a carrier and a non-carrier are mated, there is 0% chance of a defective calf, if two carriers are bred, then it's 25% chance the calf is clean, 50% chance the calf is a carrier, and 25% chance the calf is defective...

    Will Lane

    I've unfortunately spent many hours thinking about Will and his precious kids over the past weeks and months, praying for a miracle. I'll never understand why this happens to anyone, much less someone like Tamara. Continued prayers, Will. We aren't far of a drive if you ever need anything at all.

    Concealed / Open Firearms Carry

    I don't really want this to get political, in that it spirals out of control as a left vs right debate... That being said, I stopped in to see a potential customer that I had never met prior to. Got out of my pickup in his driveway and he came walking over. Immediately noticed that he was...

    Cow refusing newborn?

    If you have easy access to a chute, put her in it in the morning and night and get the baby to nurse. If she still kicks, take a rope and place it in front of her udder, tying it pretty tight across her back. I'm not sure what this does, but she won't kick. 3 days is the most we have had to do...

    Red Dirt Treasure sale

    We are going to try and make it over to Seminole for the sale....as for the other stuff, only thing I have to say is that I'm pissed the government treats us like children and withholds information from us they think we can't handle.

    OYE

    OYE

    Being a native Oklahoman, and having lived here my whole life, OYE is special to me. To see where it is now, compared to what it was a short 15 years ago is really cool to see. I just wanted some thoughts from the board, who all has made it to OYE before? Favorite part about it? Worst experience?

    Direct marketing of Shorthorn beef

    That's the way I look at it. I have some cows that are paid for, I have annual expenses related to keeping said cows alive, I sell baby calves to cover those expenses. Once those expenses are paid for, the rest of the revenue is profit. I like numbers, and have gone way more in depth to those...

    Direct marketing of Shorthorn beef

    This is a new venture for us, we have talked and wanted to do it for the past several years but couldn't make it work. Problem for us was the bank note, we couldn't afford to skip a year selling weaned calves to get them ready for butcher, and finally get paid, the following year. Anyway, I...
