I had a local buyer for the cryptorchid steer that I had posted on here about.  Called the closest large animal vet around that mostly does horse stuff but has on the occasion came through for us to come anesthetise him and castrate him.  Unfortunately the testicle was nowhere to be found so he...

Laube, definitely Laube

Imagine my surprise when I was checking the package on the 7 month old calf that we had decided to keep as a bull calf and discovered that he only has one testicle down!!!!!  The worst part is the other testicle is above the inguinal ring so there was absolutely no chance of still cutting him...

The SimSolutions that they sometimes call it would be more accurate.  Because it could be 50% Watusi and 50% simmental and still be a simsolutions!  Wouldn't that be a pretty sight. 

Yeah, he won Kansas City too.  If he wins Denver hell just might freeze over

Check the spm speed (strokes per minute).  If it is any less than 3500, they won't clip cattle hair very well at all.

I heard at least 3 different shows down at the NAILE where the judge was talking about the cattle's EPDs.  It didn't just happen in the shorthorns

His name is TWCC Trendsetter.  My cousin is one of the owners of him.  He is out of Ebony's Trademark and out of a 6807/Vortec cow.  He will be a 3 year old in the spring and  4 months ago was standing out in the pasture and had never had a halter on him.  Wonder if he will pass on that...

I may have the only 11 year old girl in the country who doesn't like Taylor Swift.  When she sang on dancing with the stars last week Caitlin went nuts about how she absolutely could not sing.  Her guitar teacher couldn't believe that she didnt like her either

Absolutely!! Had an awesome walker that lived to 12 and just can't get another one because we know it won't be as good as Sackett was!

What kind of cows are Irish Whiskey on Angus cows

Daughter and I walked out the back door this weekend to go over to the barn and feed.  Less than 50 feet from our vehicle were 6 deer, 2 huge bucks and the rest does.  Was too dark to get a picture and gun season isn't in until weekend.  Went out and sat in the car to see if they would come out...

Which bull?  The one pictured above?

The bull that was mentioned in the above post just won the simsolutions division at Kansas.  His reg. # with the simmental association is 2482125.

Looks like you haven't lost your touch  ;D

This isn't going to help with the breeding decision but as far as the feet go, use a very high quality mineral with high amounts of A, D and E.  We have always used Vitaferm, whenever I run out and use something else I have one cow that will start limping. 

I disagree on the hull pellets being useless.  If you get them wet they swell like crazy.  So once they go in the stomach they will fill just like the hulls do

Seeing how I live 30 minutes from the fairgrounds I will be there a LOT!! (clapping)  We aren't showing anything this year though, our good half blood has some allergic skin condition that may keep her from ever being a show heifer and our best heifer is only a quarterblood simmental so she...

I like the pelleted hulls much better.  They work the exact same for the cattle, at least on my cattle it has.  Plus, the big bonus is that the pelleted takes up much less room in the grinder and the food bin.  We can get 2 tons of feed in our bin when we use the pelleted, versus a little less...
