It doesn't take a rocket surgeon though to figure out that last ration is at 17.2% protein (5.7 by-pass), a little over 2% fat and about 7.5% fiber. It won't work.

Undocumented residents are a net surplus on our economy.  Very few middle class families are struggling. Chances are, if you're struggling, you're not middle class. You have said about the top 10 dumbest things ever posted here but that may be the dumbest. I believe I will go back and pull a...

Anyone that listed Harietta want to tell me exactly why? I mean besides a whole slew of bulls that people pay a lot of money for that never produce anything. And two good half Simmi heifers out of how many calves attributed to her? I've heard it said that all of those bulls aren't even out of...

First thing you need to figure out is where are you going to sell them when you raise them. That will determine where and what you begin with. I've seen Mark mention the breed sale managers previously. Maybe he has had some poor experience. But I have bought cattle both for myself and others...

Would you mind showing me a log they designed using a "templete" they bought for $40? Or any price for that matter.

I think judges today sometimes go with cattle that are "aesthetically sound" and not necessarily structurally sound. For instance, it's prettier for an animal to walk like he has a five gallon bucket between his back legs and for him to really set his back foot down to the point where he looks a...

I didn't say he WOULDN'T. I said is wasn't likely. When you continue to mix up these genetics, 3, 4, 5 way crosses, the consistency goes away. And what if he DID produce AS good as his sire? Why not just use his sire? That was my point.  I don't understand going to all of the expense to promote...

That expense is what makes me scratch my head. It doesn't appear from the reports and pictures that there is anything "new and improved." Just some solid black ones with the same pedigrees. Nothing overpowering AND a different pedigree like Hard Whiskey last year. Nothing that has a high...

(clapping)  <party> Good Job.

Sounds about what I would expect it to cost.

I know people calving heifers to him. Much easier calving than his sire. Call Jeff Miller in IN. He has a web site.  He probably has more calves by him than anyone but Jansens.

They did well at Jansens sale. If you can find a catalog of their sale still on line there should be some pics of calves in there.

I would agree totally that Simmentals have dumbed themselves down to Angus levels in growth and Milk. Moronic. However, I would also say that Simmentals are HOT, record prices on bull sales. Shorthorns by Rob Sneed or John Deere or anyone else targeted toward the commercial industry are not...

Doesn't matter if they are commercial or not, any cows that those bulls are big enough to breed don't need downsizing no matter what they weigh. AS I SAID, the cattle those 10 framed animals were bred to mate with a national cow herd of midgets that needed to be bred to giraffes. As the cow...
