Blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.  If a little 4-H kid gets under your skin that bad,  might be something to it. Act like you got a banner before.

Thought I would add a few cents worth,  been doing this for a lot of years and getting one to eat has never been a problem.  Don't know your feed but not a big fan of a feed that is much past 12 percent and fat over 3 or so.  Seems that a bulkier feed that is not real heavy, and intake goes up. ...

Don't know where you are but there has to be someone close,  the vet might but 500 is way out of line.  Genex has several guys around the country,  you should be able to find someone for not too many dollars.  Semen may be your problem,  usually have to buy 5 minimum,  but lot of the semen...

I'm thinking you may be a little over concerned.  The amount of water needed for drilling is going to be over the amount a well or wells can produce and the chance of running out of water ain't in the equation. A well site next to us had about the same size hole and they hauled water in non...

Go to the pasture and get the biggest old show cow you own,  halter them both and tie the halters together. Don't get between them, and let her try to drag the other one off.  If you circle them,  she can't. Dare her to try.  When she figures out she can't get away with the old cow and can't get...

I really don't expect every one to be a 10,000 calf, but I would expect them to be at least competitive in a 3 head goat roping.  At this point I'm not real sure.

You're  way better off doing a little at a time rather than a major overhaul every 6 months.  Changing the way one walks will cause structure problems that you may never fix.

How many bulls in the past have supposedy been the greatest thing to have ever been on the ground and then some "injury" makes semen scarce and "valuable"?  Grand dad would say something not so very nice and it would probably be just about on target, there is something haywire and semen is not...

Mark Howard. 865 300 3636 Honest and responsible.  He has something moving all the time.

Careful aout asking such questions,  some phd will be on an EPD for that! 

Need to look at the Hereford assoc rules on a purchased heifer that won't breed.  It may give you something to think about before you pound her out

Had a conversation with a Friend who hauls 90 percent registered cattle from sales all over the country.  His business is very busy,  his view of the angus has a large number of small breeders totally fed up with the epd business,  the whole herd paper work, the dna requirements ( read that as...

How do you figure?  The whole herd reporting deal is nothing but a way to generate income to Denton Texas and nothing more.  The reports, records and such are nothing more than a way to have employees having a job shuffling paper, and not one bit about the cattle getting better or helping...

When god comes home

Find a new hoof trimmer to start,  aspirin in the feed,  keep him on soft surfaces,  keep his walking distances short, gelatin in the feed,  have some patience .

I'm one to maKe sure I get repeat business, $100 for the day and $5 a head.  And they load the cattle.  If lucky I bring someone to load the semen for another 100. Just an idea

Go get the  show heifer from 4 years ago and tie their halters together, and let her try to run off with her.  When she figures out she can't, your problems will be close to fixed.

Knowing some of the people let go, I would suspect it was an ego trip that didn't go so very well. 

It ain't the month, it's the YEAR.

Equipment worth as much now as when bought,  trade up and have no note.
