I wouldn't worry. I have Simbrah cows and it's not uncommon for them to go 11 days overdue. I had a 50 lb bull calf born today that was a week over...kinda surprised me.

Liquid Tom Cat works pretty dang good for us.

The foreman told us his crew was supposed to rope off the ends...but saying isn't doing. This pipeline runs at the very back of this pasture and they've had it open for awhile. They buried it right after we got the cow out...imagine that. We use this pasture as our maternity ward for mature cows...

http://www.youtube.com/embed/NA-ST8nXl4U?rel=0 I might try this method on my next group of heifers!

I noticed this cow missing yesterday morning. She was due to calve so I figured she had a good hiding spot. This morning I still couldn't find her so I scoured the pasture looking for her and found her in the trench. So I called in the Calvary and got her out! I'm very thankful she didn't go...

I recorded 3.20" in south Texas today. That's close to what we've had all year. Happy to hear about others getting much needed rain!

I like the second picture better. I think it showcases how heavy muscled he is and it looks like his he's holding his head higher. I'm curious about his breeding too. A great bull you have there with lots of potential.

This is my second year calving out heifers to TNT Dual Focus (a SimAngus bull carried by ABS) and haven't had to touch one yet. Calves have great vigor at birth too.

L101 taking the south Texas drought like a champ.

(clapping) (lol)

Late gestation and they start calving in less than a month.

Lucky duck! We finally made a deal on rice hay. It's 8-9% CP so it'll keep the cows going but I'm going to have to supplement the heck out of them. And calving starts in less than a month. Pray for rain!

We can't even make a deal on any hay because the guys that do have hay have enough local customers to not want to mess with the delivery to us. We're looking into cotton hulls and DDG to make it through.

Our ranch's story begins in 1857 in the days of the great cattle drives and longhorns. http://tombrothersranch.com/history.html

What breed is your steer? I'm in the midst of worst drought ever here in Texas and would love a cow that eats dirt....j/k

What a great day you had! Congrats! Good luck on Sunday.

Wow! Thank you all very much for the comments. We're really excited to throw our hat back in the ring in the south Texas bull market.

Thank you for the comments. It is still needs a little tweaking but the meat and potatoes are there.
