Why not just be honest but with some constructive words. If they have the guts to ask then they probably want honest advice. But then again I am not one of the "nice ones" this post is referring to!

This cross has been popular around here for years. My uncle has done this cross for about 8-10 years now and usually tops the market with the calves. He has recently started to feed out his own (built an awsome facilities). And he swears this cross makes fast gaining and more importantly cattle...

Go Hawks... the road appears long and all up hill right now, but I am hoping for some of last years "last minute" magic to appear! 

Hamley, a red angus, has proven calving ease AND is solid red, AND seems to throw a bit of "clubby look". Fat Tony, another red angus is an unproven option, might be worth a look,  especially since you are not worried about registering the calves as red angus. Winchester is also another clubby...

There was some discussion about this under another post... can't recall the title but something like "Will shorthorns survive in the long term" Buyers in my area won't touch a colored calf. They will buy blacks, and SOME butterscotch, and SOME reds, but if they have color they just don't want...

Sorry for my opinion..... A vet can tell ABOUT how big a calf is, they can also tell ABOUT how much room a cow's pelvis has, a vet can also tell ABOUT what shape the calf's head is. Problem is ABOUT isn't good enough, and by the time they get done digging around to tell you ABOUT the calf, the...

I wouldn't get real worried until about 10 days over due.  Having a vet "feel" for the calf is (IMVHO) is worthless. The calf will move quite a bit in the last few days, so where the calf is now, is not where it will be in 6 hours! I know it is hard.... being totally out of control is hard, but...

I have been baking since I was 5. I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is THE BEST but recently (within the last 6 months) the Crisco butter flavor shortening is different. It "melts" at high room temperatures, and my cookies are super flat and a bit oily.  I tried all blue bonnett, but...

Relax.... take a big breath and relax.... Now, the first question that pops into my head is "Are you absolutely positive that she is AI bred?" Second question: "Was there ANY exposure to a bull after the AI date?" Mother nature is rarely wrong, I have had cows go past their AI date as long as...

Not sure what is going on, as I haven't tried contacting them... but from my experience, try calling right before noon CST.  That is the best time to catch them from my experience!

I have by golly... by working with the calf for hours, until the calf was comfortable and trusting! It worked! Imagine that!!  <party>

Husker - Just do a search, and you be quite amazed at the number of people on this board who have all but admited to cheating to win, because (of course) if "you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying hard enough" (not my quote). You will also be amazed at what many people on here consider...

How about spitting EVERYWHERE? I have seen boys/guys/men spitting on sidewalks, in the show ring, in the show barn,  EVERYWHERE.. come on. If you "big boy" enough to chew either be man enough to swallow, or polite enough to spit on your own boot.

Are some of you people serious? Are all of you still married to the orginal person? More importantly, are you happy? I thought being married to someone meant you worked together as a couple, supported each other, and worked toward a common goal. That is pretty hard to do when you are being...

A zip tie more humane? Are you joking? Your joking right?  If you think that is correct, I would suggest you put a zip tie around your finger, or another long type appendage and put it on "snug, but not too tight" and then see how that works for you. Why not just work with the animal enough...

My second PM sent!! Wish you luck!

Know who you deal with... show up unannounced to check things out...verify PRIOR to double check their story about who puts the embryos in.....keep a few so you have DNA if you need it....don't believe anything unless you can verify it... double check their stories..... Right now, I have a...

Six Mile in Canada.  Without a doubt good people, good cattle. Here in the US, I would recommend you look at past "winners" from programs and see what their future held (if you can FIND their future)! Most of the red angus would fall into your description, haven't seen too many "leggy" RA...

I have to think to myself :  If a church or another group had planned to burn the Holy Bible, would there be such gibberish about blowing people up? Would there be such protest? Would obama be speaking out against it? Would anyone care?

Good karma: Bout time somebody said somethin!!! :)    Darn good post Thanks for the back up You know the true meaning of showing and of course the oh so unimaginative and boring blah Hey Jason, I will take the new Ford in 2013... I figure that is how long it will take to get my required...
