I would assume you are on native grass and going to corn stalks.  With that in mind, I would say that you have changed the diet on your cows tremendously.  That is not meant to sound bad, it would just mean that your cows are adjusting to the change and maybe needing some supplemental protein...

Will be there on Friday, leaving Sunday afternoon.  Will be in the Shorthorn standing committee meetings on Friday night.  Hope to see y'all there.

Curious as to see whether this will be voted in.  Spells bad things for animal agriculture in the future. 

M Bar is located about 45 minutes west of Cottonwood falls with our shorthorn herd.  right off of hwy 50.  Have some crossbred simmental/angus cows across the road.  mostly Macho calves.

I am just going to be onery and tell you that we quit using genetics that caused us to have to baby sit our cows during calving season.  Sorry Oakbar, couldn't resist...................Don't shoot me in Denver or Louisville!  As one of my good friends and former shorthorn breeder told me "there...

What do you watch on the "barn channel"?

The premise behind cooking feed ingredients such as corn or barley is to gelatinize the starch bonds that are in the whole grains.  This is the reason that most feedlots steam flake corn or use high moisture corn and ensile it.  Starch is stored in the kernal and the heating/moisture process of...

Is your coming out party due to the dilution of the opportunities of intergalactic travel for you and your people, or is it due to the mythical idealism of some pundits to prove that existence of alien creatures exist?  Waiting patiently for a response.  By the way, the steer that has been...

Gotta second you on that one Stumpy.  NEWS ANNOUNCMENT for those of you who follow the markets......Get ready, we may be happy to be selling weaned calves for $400.00 per head by the end of the year, let alone 2500 dollar heifer calves.

In talking about JPJ calves not growing when used on some females per Don and Kevin, did you ever ask what those calves were out of on the bottom side?  It could be the case that the dam's didn't milk and were unfuntional cows to begin with.  Just my 2 cents.  I have looked at JPJ calves and...

Let me try.......Everyone is stupid, everything is terrible, show cattle are aweful, selling commericial bulls is a waste of time, I hate everything.  That was my best impression of "the truth".  Can anyone rate this????

Ok Joe, I finally got a picture of our 23G bull out in the pasture.  This was taken with a camera/phone, so the pic ain't worth much, but since you wanted to see my "chicken legged bull".  Here he is.  He is out on 120 acres and 13 pair of shorthorn and angus cows.  We just got back from the KS...

Ease up there everyone.  We don't hire an exectutive secretary to sell commercial bulls.  That would be my job, to sell my own genetics if so desired.  Let's all play nice since this is a disscussion forum and there is a word called "libel".  I printed this off of wikpedia for all to look at. ...

Gotta chime in on this, too fun to not be a part of it.  The truth, you are more than welcome to look at shorthorns that have zero (o) influence of the genetics that you seem to hate.  Heck, they are everywhere, you just can't look for them in ads in the shorthorn country.  If you think that...

Fit job costs depend on where we are and how many we have.  If it's a "punkin pull" weekend spring outing, then we do it ourselves.  If it's the National Western and we have 6 head, I will usually hire two folks to help.  $150 per day X 2 guys / 6 head is $50.00 per head.  That is only when we...

The M Bar clan will be taking their "maiden" voyage to the KJLS.  Haven't went for about 20 years.  Daughter is taking her heifer and we should have around 4 head that will be there that were purchased off the ranch last year.  hope everyone has a safe trip.  What's up with all the rules?  No...

Howdy Joe B Couple of questions.   If your friend "John" has had numerous national champions, big sales with purebred animals, why is he so "anti-show cattle" now?  I would think that someone with that many credentials would understand that most of this showing is just a game.  We all know...

If you read the latest and greatest about beef production as it pertains to cow-calf operators, the consensus of most folks is that mature cow size must be reduced.  There are numerous articles about mature cow weights and stocking rates.  Percentage body weight weaned by calf will become more...

I would suggest talking to a board member in regard to what each of you wants in an executive secretary.  I can guarantee you that they will get 1000+ different opinions.  please ask yourself "what is an association?".  I would answer that it is a group of people with the same interests, i.e...

Haven't had time to nap.  got home late Sat night, raked and baled alfalfa Sunday, hauled it all home Monday before the rain, found 3 pastures of MTY mineral feeders and lots of thistles that need sprayed, so am a little on the grumpy side.  Didn't get a chance to talk to the Campbell gang, but...
