    Does anyone know Brett Duke?

    This is not negative but more concerned really.  Brett Duke or brettcduke on SP agreed to buy some Ali semen a few months ago from me.  Last time I talked to him (2nd time) everything seemed great but have not been able to contact again via phone or email.  I assume he doesn't want the semen...

    Picture:Denver Display Bull-Who has the Best Display Bulls going to Denver?????

    It seems the Website God didn't like my comment.  I guess it's true that it will be hanging above the bull and I can see for myself, but these are often used in advertising of some sort and not everyone will see the bull or a different picture.  I have seen it before with straight pasterns and...

    Rendition?

    I am using some Rendition now but have used Built Right in the past.  If I were breeding a heifer, I would use Built Right because I know what he throws and they are good.

    anyone ever feed MIX 30 liquid protein

    Don't forget what the tag doesn't tell you.  It's  60% water.  It's only 16% protein.  And they reccomend you take the lid off your feeders so they can drink it.  Genius.  I've seen cows that were on good liquid and the next year changed to this.  They did OK but lost body condition and ate...

    anyone ever feed MIX 30 liquid protein

    It's cheap and I suppose that's good.  But at 60% water and a TDN level equal to what poor quality grass is, I would definitely buy a quality liquid supplement.  It will work but the intakes must be double what a quality supplement would be to deliver equal nutrition.  For instance, if it costs...

    Trouble Getting a Charolais-X Steer Finished

    Every steer has a natural growth curve no matter what he's fed.  Yours should be reaching the end and entering the fattening phase.  I would stop doing all the extras and focus on one quality finisher product (we use Honor Show Chow's Finishing Touch) and Power Fuel.  Don't forget that intake is...

    What Simmi Bull to use?

    Built Right is the most consistent.  On power he would be perfect.  I wouldn't use Star Power again.  Our Built Right's have been really nice.

    winning fill vs. full tank???? I did a search on this!

    Winning fill is just a Silage mix to me.  It does nothing extra to expand the cattle above what normal feed and hay will do.  Full Tank however, expands tremendously when wet even compared to beet pulp (2-3 times as much).  We've used it on several steers and noticed a difference.

    getting heifers to cycle?

    This is TOTALLY nutritonal.  Those females need a lot more than just a little extra to breed back properly.  They are milking, cutting teeth, and still trying to grow.  Just plan on spending an extra $60 to $90 above regular cow costs and time it correctly.  About 40 days prior to and 30 days...

    clubbie bred cows

    Harwood 209, Northern Improvement (on exotics), Habanero sons except Lifeline (very hard keepers).  Dr. Who, though I've not used him.  Don't get your steer producing cows to clubby.

    Picture:Denver Display Bull-Who has the Best Display Bulls going to Denver?????

    Is there a reason half of this bull is covered up by his name?  Big fronted? Straight?  I'll find out in a couple weeks.

    Angus for Simmental - Need to clean up Neck

    I love our Northern Improvement daughters.  They raise our best steers today.  Recently though we have found this bull and he is much easier calving than NI.  More moderate and powerful and possibly even better fronted.  His BWEPD is .7 He is an Oldhe bred bull.  Has the power and look but much...

    best way to feed mineral to cows

    Feed Purina's Wind & Rain mineral loose in an open feeder and it won't ever set up.  Take an old tub and drill a hole in the bottom center and hammer a rod with a washer welded to the end to secure it to the ground.  Then drill three small holes around the edges.  It can rain 10 foot on that...

    Looking for a steer in Central Texas

    I sent a pm to you.  The steer I have is out of a Full Flush grandson and simangus cow.  He would be perfect.  Full brother won Central TX youth fair last year.

    Are People Nuts???

    The point of these sales in most cases is to "trade cattle" buy spending 50k at their sale and they spend 50k at yours.  Then the grandad wanting to raise a few for his grandkids thinks he has to spend 10k on a bull or heifer worth 4k if he wants to get anything bought.  There are enough of...
