The big rack is on display at my aunts house. These are sheds from 2010. The neighbor boy trespassed and picked up the 2011 sheds. The small 8x8 is the single. The big one is supposedly close to, or would be the state record. I think that the shed scored a 315 in 2009 and the state record is a...

Not really sure which forum is appropriate to post this in, but we have quite a few elk that range from 8x8's to spikes. My dad is looking for a larger tractor with low hours. We make round bales and are switching over to the larger square bales. Dad wants to trade a lop tag for equipment obo...

CIDRS for sale I have some used once CIDR's I'd like to get rid of. I bought them and used them last year. Once they were used I washed them in disinfectant, dried them off and stored them in a tubberware container. They are $10/each in the store and you have to buy a bag of 10, so how about...

She's a little beauty, congratulations

Without re-reading everything, I believe Sonny is the Dean of Oregon State University; http://www.facebook.com/events/#!/betsy.hartley/posts/10150703995081258 This is the letter he wrote to the yahoo writer

Well said. It's up to you on the bulls you want to use. You need to improve your cows, so look for bulls that will add flex, depth or rib, femeninity, etc. You have to be able to be very critical of your own cows to improve them. Photos don't show everything, you know what you like/hate, focus...

lol, thank you. I think she's our oldest cow, we run over 250. Really ugly but has all her teeth. Her structure grandaughter raised twins this year so she gets points for that too. She has beat the prom queens every year, has had some show champions.  She's a 50/50 limmy simmy so I wasn't really...

Dont worry about show quality until you have corrected those faults. You are just aiming for the best cow that you can make and once you get there you can start breeding for show steers. If you jump right into maines you are going to lose years. Go to our webpage, look at "red" and then follow...

ok, the best way to improve your cattle is to be able to fault them. From the photos, the heifer looks to be straight in her back end and needs some more depth of rib. If she was my heifer I would breed her to G13 structure and not think twice about it. My second pick would be boyds pound maker...

I suggested grizzly because of the baldie coloring, I have heard three things on grizzly; The calves are too small and aren't vigorous to grow, The calves are too big for heifers and just turn out plain; the calves come out small, are vigorous and are amazing. So you can take what you want out...

From what I have heard you only want one or else they run off together. Our neighbor has a lot of sheep and the llamas have their own little llama herd, but the other neighbor only runs one and it works good. If founder isn't a problem donkeys are supposed to be good. Dogs are good but they run...

What about a free to a good home llama, or donkey? They work in our neighbors sheep, have never heard of anyone using them in cattle but I don't know why it wouldn't work, especially now that they have the taste of calves and will be back.

Much better game plan with the low bw bulls. Why don't you breed one for your own steer? You'll pocket every dime, minus feed, and get your name out. I would try a simmental baldie, or something like Grizzly, but there are tons of bulls out there to pick from, just try and stay away from dirty...

I wouldn't price a thing until I knew it had a heartbeat. Dead serious on the Dirty bulls, if you don't have some big pelviced cows don't mess with it. Dead calves/cows aren't worth a dime. Have the vet measure them and see what he thinks. I think alot of people who use heatwave and other bulls...

Would jerseys be a better solution, due to their higher %age milk fat?

You can push the plunger through her cervix, uterus, etc so I wouldn't recommend doing anything until you have a vet or someone with experience walk you through it and check your accuracy.  As far as convincing the dad thing goes; good luck, lol. My dad won't try anythign other than nautral...

Maybe this will help

Thanks for the information on tiger woods. Those stud photos are pretty deceiving. Have you seen rainmaker before?

Is sin city a larger bw bull? It seems like his numbers were off or something. I haven't looked at shorties other than jpj in a while
