Yes, definitly.  Our herd bull throws a pretty little head on heifers and a little bit blockier head on bulls.  We usually just go by the head to tell which bull the calves are out of, but of course we do know anyway, but each bull/breed has their own characterics for the head.  Like Angus.  I...

No never had a problem with bulls, but with mules and horses, Yes.  They are vicious creatures.  I have heard of such, but most of our bulls have been shown and are pretty relaxed and happy go lucky kinda bulls. So sorry for your loss though. Jamie

I went to several sales in March and they were pratically giving bulls away.  A few didn't even sell. We still have a few bulls we are trying to sell and my uncle has 2 and 3 year olds that need to go to market.  People just want them heifers, but everyone has a herd bull I guess. Jamie

Our grass was coming up good but we have had a cold snap for the past few days and the color is turning dull once again. Anyway.  Nice calves.  And of course your kids want to show the bwf they always sell better anyway.  :) Jamie

I agree with you Jill.  They are more a pain than a pleasure.  In most cases we end up loosing both so I would much rather jsut have one healthy calf. Jamie

Thats pretty awsome.  I guess you have worked with alot then.  Last year my heifer was the best I had ever had as far as settng herself up and holding her head high.  In fact she held her head so high that I would have to pull it down.  I was really proud of her becuase the first show we took...

ATOZ I heard that too.  I can not  wait utill next fall!  I am so sick of living in this state where they cater to Chicago.  I also heard we are trying to get a law passed that will let us revote if we dont like the governor we have.  Believe me I would be doing that right about now. Jamie

That is how I was/am raised and I am a young one. Jamie

Green grass...I just wanna go roll in it...been so long since i have seen it. Jamie

No we do AI, but can vets sex the semen? Jamie

My goodness wish I was a millionaire.  Can vets do that or just semen dealers? Jamie

So is that 50 per straw or how many? Jamie

Ya I would say we have had about 15 to 17 inches of rain sine the middle of March and two major ice storms and a few major snow storms.  So I am ready for spring, but today is beautiful weather here.  I am getting ready to wash a few bulls. Jamie

I was just looking at the Genex book last night and Ali was priced at 20$ for 2007, but I cant find the reccent price. Jamie

Very blocky and wide calf, cattlechick.  I like him! Jamie

I just hope we get some rain this summer.  The predictions are that the midwest is suppose to have their drought this year like the south did last year.  I know wasn't last year bad enough?  Guess not, but I pray I am wrong. Jamie

We have not had good luck with Cidrs.  Half of our cows were pushed back and now they are even worse because of last years drought.  We we sure to clean them well and took every precaution we possible could to using Cidrs.  So now we just go off natural heat or give them a shot and AI them. Jamie

What if the chalk is rubbed off by something else that is wet.  Or like in this weather the chalk would not work.  Jamie

Its about over here now, I do believe.  Thinking of everyone else. Jamie

If that don't stink.  I don't think we'll be getting any winter weather here in SO IL.  It is so warm we have the door and windows open.  I thinks its like mid 60s at the moment. Jamie
