I wouldn't say it is always cheaper to raise a good one.... Between the ET bill, the vet bill, and the other cost associated.  You can get a lot invested in a critter pretty quick.. And thats before its even born..lol

Lightning does not know the difference between an old recip and a $10,000 donor. All time crappiest luck I've ever heard of.....  Cow had calf fine, calf was up, she licked it off..... Then died choking on the afterbirth.....

I also find it interesting that elective medical procedures.  Cosmetic surgery, lasik eye surgery etc get better and cheaper every year.  Why is that?  I'm sure it is because of goverment control, subsidies and low insurance deductibles?  Or could it be the free market has forced these...

Sell a cow in a sale bred to Tiger Woods and have her named "Homewrecker"

That is exactly my point.  We have to pay out of pocket for veterinary expenses.  So we try and prevent them through good herd nutrition, vaccinations, early diagnosis, and just good care in general.  If we had health insurance for our cattle we wouldn't be as proactive at preventing problems. ...

I would say at least $100.  Somtimes it can be worth thousands...(see post on healthcare)

What would happen if everyone had health insurance on their cow-herd?  Everyone would take every animal to the vet even when not needed "just to be on the safe side."  It would be a trainwreck.  Prices would go up because someone else would paying for it.  Quality would go to hell and you would...

We flushed a black, deep bodied Who daughter to Carnac, Sunseeker, Warrant and Vegas.  We have one Vegas and she is by far the rockstar of the group.  I would use Vegas over Sin City if your cows are clean. 

If you're not doing a lot of heavy hauling a 1/2 ton will be fine.  I know guys that went their whole life only owning half tons to pull livestock with

And the fact that kids can stay on their parents plan until 26 will be nice also. I know this billl has it's cons, but I think the pros outweigh the cons here, so I view it as a positive. Stay on their parents plan until they are 26?  Are you seroius? At what point are we supposed to expect...

You missed my point show heifer. America has exisited and prosper for almost 250 years without required health insurance.  Having or not having health insurance should be the most basic liberty we have.  Saying that we all need it is an opinion.  Forcing everyone to have it is tyranny. With...

I know this has been brought up before, but it would be a lot more conveinant if people just posted the price and location when they advertise here.  I don't see the point in having 100 people send PM's about something.  Its not like you know the people that pm'ing you anyways..  And location...

A person can do what-if's all day long...  I guess in a scenario lilke that a person could have a high deductible say $5000, and could get a plan at a pretty reasonable price that woud be there to cover something catastrophic like that or car wreck etc...  Its people that use health insurance as...

I've health insurance through my employer ever since I got out of college.  I have never used it.  The couple of times I have gotten truly sick(bad head cold/chest cold).  I've gotten antibiotics from the local vet.  Thats all the doctors office is going to give you and they're going to charge a...

No, thats just normal....

From what i was told is that they showed up and lock had been cut and the generator was gone.  I don't think they were ever approached by the management personally.  So as far as they knew it was stolen....  There were a couple other ones that were impounded so i think thats probably what...

I did hear of a generator that someone thought was stolen at the Iowa Beef Expo..  Turned out it was just impounded by the management for being locked up inside the tie-out barn.  I think from what I heard the owners turned it in stolen anyways.  LMFAO

That right there is absolutely huge.  A lot of times the only difference between a good bull and a great is the cows he's used on.

i just got a bill yesterday.  250 for the c-section and 30 for the clinic call.  So 280 all together

Looks like the Monopoly semen is gonna bring at least on the top side of $150.  Is it really that tight? http://www.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?hunker8/category/ALL
