The middle man sold a calf, some calf,any calf to some kid in no telling where, with a birthdate, a pedigree, a guarantee, of no telling what and I'm supposed to guarantee his guarantee??? Yeah, I'm all in on that, and when the kid wants his money back because the calf won't breed, or turns...

I'm getting a little harder to get along with in my old age, why go out of your way.  You don't know what, where,  who, or anything else on the resale.  New buyer wants the papers, he more than able to contact you directly.  Guy I the middle screwed you once, why do you think he's done?

Have an old recipe for colostrum, not as good as the real stuff or the colstrux you can get at the feed store but, it used milk replacer, raw egg, kayro syrup, cod liver oil, and powdered sugar. 

One time the collectors came to your place and took the collections back to labs to freeze and test.  Not the demand any longer so you go to the stud.  Freezing takes some time along with determining just how many doses you have.    There is 1 man here that will collect and freeze at your...

Would suggest you start at breeding 100 cows a week and preg checking 500 a week. 

Ive Bred heifers and loaded them up the next morning,  put in embryos and hauled them home,  if she is going to have problems getting settled because of a truck ride,  mother nature may never decide to let her breed.  Avoid the stress to the extent you can but go on.

Pistol Pete originated on my neighbors place,  rough country, not a lot of frills,  his mom was just a cow, not great but sure not sorry.  Milking ability on his ofspring seemed to come from their moms,  seems he didn't add or take away.   We used strictly business for 3 seasons,  kept every...

Ran a vermeer for 3 seasons, the machine was sturdy and nearly matience free.  The blades have a pin and clip that let's you change them with little effort.  The one I ran was with the hitch on the lower 2 arms of the 3 point hitch,  quiet, maneuverable, and took on places we should have...

There are a lot of 1411 around here, mainly because they are simple to work on.  the Deere are a bit more complicated but still a good machine.  Ain't a mf in a 1000 miles.

I'm next too the mueller shop with a little planning you should get frame and tin for less than 4.  If you are like me, your labor is cheap.  The doors have got a bit high but are not hard to put up.

Structure and scotch cap I would keep.

I know we are all proud of our critters but,  I've been around a long time.  Ain't seen but maybe 1 great one,  need to be careful about using that term,  it usually comes back to bite you.  Just a small thought

What Jim does depends on What strikes him at the moment.  He is capable of doing a good job and then something will hit him and he goes off track for a bit but then usually comes back.  The guy knows his cattle, can be pretty wordy most of the time, and will always have some story for about any...

Too much junk in the angus breed,  lot of bulls "type" but pedigree is not so very clean.

Have a good heifer out of a shorthorn cow,  big enough, correct on the wheels,  not round made and has some real cow possibilities,  her mother too big.  I'm happier with him than mab.

Fountain pen insert into vulva,  if it bottoms out before it goes all the way in, problem.  If not should be ok.

Can't see much from the photo but look in to heterochromida,  not sure of the spelling but the angus have a genetic defect on some of their bulls from some time back.  Just a guess

Would suspect the steer is bored to death.  Guessing he is by himself,  doesn't have a pen mate,  gets worked with but stays alone most of the day.  Exercise is on the rope,  he needs a place to run wild for a little while, somebody to chase him a little would not hurt.  Bet if you turn him...

Does he have a bunk mate? Any thing to make him compete for feed may help as much as anything.

Can't remember the year,  angus sale at the Brown palace,  guy walking through gets to watching,  want to say Jack Parnell was auctioneer, got to bidding at 25,  kept going and bought the lot,  he didn't know the bid was 25,000.  Gavel fell at 75,  he was little surprised but paid the ticket and...
