I totally agree with knabe, it is about control! For whatever reason, there are many reasons they might want control probably financial or political. But it is truly sad to hear something like this.I am generally not an in your face type person, but lately I am starting to believe that if some...

Mines pretty good too! She irrigates drives the tractors shes the doc at branding time. She does it all. If you guys have not heard the song by Garth Brooks "Cowboy Cadillac" you need to it perfectly describes what these ladies are to us.

thanks for the advice

not bad. I just have these heifers out of an angus bull that was supposed to be pretty maternally bred and real good for milk, but I am not overly impressed. They are okay nothing is wrong but I was just wondering it is not something I remember paying attention to in years past so I thought I...

Does first calf heifers milk production get better? For example if she calved for the first time this year and her milk was ok, but not great is there a chance of it getting better next year?

congrats on getting a live one. sometimes it's just luck I lost a calf out of a first calf heifer last week that was bred to my calving ease angus bull, i had never pulled a calf out of that bull. But this was a 90 lb bull calf, and this heifer never would have had him. I am lucky I did not lose...

I am just curious but is there a place to find these kinds of epd's on clubby bulls? I have seen some of the basic ones on a few stud services sites but not CE and CEM. Usually it is the standard BW WW and YW. I was just curious. I imagine you guys are talking about purebreds though.

Bummer I was planning on using Dirty Hairy 2 and Tiny Tim on my heifers this year. Has anyone used Tiny Tim, he is an Ali son. I also thought of using Total Solution. What are anyones thoughts on these bulls? 

Pretty funny! I am glad everything turned out all right! I hate when i get all worked up about something and it turns out if I had just been patient they would have been just fine on their own. I know that doesn't really apply here, as that calf was breech and that is a problem. But I get worked...

It's funny but I am far enough from and close enough to Saskman in age to distinctly remember thinking I knew how thngs worked. The thing I remember most was when people older and wiser would tell me that the world was so much bigger than high school, but from where I was that seemed like the...

I have two hired man calves a steer and a heifer. I like the heifer she is nice temperment really was not bad. The steer has depth and volume but breaks behind his shoulders pretty bad is that been happening a lot?

This is hilarious. So this is what I get to look forward to huh! I have a 7 yr old girl and a 3yr old boy and I think I already hear the beginnings of the rebellion. But seriously find somthing you both like and take a little time to do it together and you will both come out with different...

I am also interested to hear the answer to his post. I was thinking of breeding some cows to him this year and would like to hear of anyones experience with him.

I am with you ATM OH, I also give them credit for releasing it. Where I am at I don't get to get around to a lot of farms etc and see many of these sires so it is nice to be able to see one of these mature sires.

I thought this article was interesting particularly what it had to say about global warming, essentially what you guys are saying.http://www.cgfi.org/2011/01/new-study-affirms-natural-climate-change-by-dennis-t-avery/

Would that be Sept Oct 2010 or 2009? I would like to see more pics if possible. What are you asking for them? Where are you located? Can you be more specific on the breeding? Sires and Dams or do you have that info? Thanks Sean

I see your point SD, but I believe for the money there are far far less efficient programs than Extension. I happen to whole heartedly agree with Venable. Another function of Extension that they were basically eluding to is economic developement. There have been so many societal problems that...

Dear Friends of Extension, Disproportionately deep funding cuts could be passed in the next 20-30 days that would devastate Extension programs serving your family, including your 4-Hers, and your community. We understand the need for belt tightening. But, proposed federal budget cuts would slash...

<rock> As you can tell I am pretty new, but I have been amazed at how helpful and courteous everyone on here is.I have been on some blogs and people seem to be so nasty to each other. Then the stories you here about the competition in the club calf world etc. etc...I really did not expect people...

Here in Northern New Mexico gas is $3.19 a gallon and deisel is $3.49. I guess its not the worst!  <rock>
