Very disturbing in that it will further the disconnect and misunderstanding of production agriculture with the "city folk".  There is enough confusion in urban and suburban America now on how food is raised, taken care of, and processed!!!! I don't even know if there are any Chipotle Grills in...

Welcome Librarian! I really like your Amos bull!  Nice, moderate,deep with guts.  Where are you located?  Does your Amos bull have a good disposition?  I think you are right on with your forage program using the Super Dazzler lines.  I really appreciate the pictures of your cows and they look...

Just cruising through some web pages and online sale sites for calves and cows this fall and am noticing that there are a percentage of pics from some of the sales that you can't see the feet??????? Is this the latest sale fashion? Do they have duck feet? Do they have chicken feet-- ok now I'm...

I received my copy of the September Shorthorn Country last night and a Canadian breeder also has Speckle Parks.  I have done some looking at them and I find them very appealing as another option for a very self- sufficient and commercial type breed.  Are there any established breeders in the US...

Just checking to see if anyone could post the sale results.  Any info would be appreciated. Thanks EF

CAB-- thanks for the update!  I will probably call in again on Tues-- after the holiday to double check what is up in my county.  We personally don't have any CRP acres enrolled-- it is my dad's ground and he is trying to help by offering his ground for hay without losing too much of his...

First-- I appreciate the opportunity given to me by my forefathers that wrote the constitution that I can get on this board and BASH talk my government without the fear of being put before a firing squad. Now that said:  WTF-- I just talked to our FSA office about the order to emergency hay...

I second what JIT said!!!! Wow-- I need to get some Easy calves in my herd!  Does Y Lazy Y have a fall sale and where is the semen distributed? EF

Wow:  How did a topic about whether to use CF Trump influenced bulls on their heifer/cow turn into paying college athletes???  Never a dull moment on SP!! I thought that getting the scholarship for your education while you play the sport that earned you the chance to get the education via the...

Wow-- didn't realize I'd get this much conversation going with this thread, but that is ok. X-Bar:  I don't want to fight with you, but I still believe that G-crates are one of the best inventions developed in animal husbandry.  Now let me tell you where that comes from:  I grew up on a pretty...

What the heck is going on with these animal groups????  Vandalism at the ISF on the Famous Butter Cow!!  There are things you just respect no matter what your beliefs.  Fortunately the great team there was able to get the cow fixed and ready for the public!!! Does anyone in these groups...

That is totally awesome-- This is what America is supposed to be-- we need to remember to think of our friends and neighbors and not totally self-absorbed.  It made me cry when I was reading it also. Thanks for sharing! EF

Just wanted to share that a 4-H member that is new to beef projects is having a pretty good day.  Sam came to us for a calf last fall and I tried to set him up with a calf that would do a good job for him.  Today he has reported to me that he entered his calf in the Carcass Division at his...

:)  Heck yes!  The Twinkie, Ding Dong, Ho Ho's and Cupcakes are Back!! I can get my sugar fix again! How many other missed these self indulging, sugar treats as well? EF

:)  You guys are all very helpful!  It sounds like if the bales are full of oats this winter, the old girls can't do too much harm to themselves-- like founder or bloat.  Now we just need the good weather to get it down and dry...!! Our other problem is how wet the ground is underneath-- we...

Looking to my Steerplanet amigos to help me with my questions about oat hay. We have not put any up for years, so my memory is a little rusty.  this year we are re-establishing a pasture and did the usual thing around here by seeding the grass seed, a little red clover and then using the cover...

Sounds like a great deal to work with Aaron and get them through the drought.  I have a different type of question-- I've been told that bringing western cows east will cause them to have a hard time adjusting, but taking eastern cows west is easy..... any thoughts?  What I have been told is...

:) I'll be the first to reply-- If they are Jake's Proud Jazz influenced- I am more commercially oriented, so I would like to see them bred either of these ways:  Canadian- lots of good breeders there for commercial type,  A & T Ranch- NE, Waukaru Farms, Meadow Lane-Bertz's, Byland, JDMC group-...

:) Nice calf-- should have some product in him when done. Lean Beef beat me to the question about his weight-- if he is 1200 now and your show is in June-- he could get stale and could possibly start to fall apart if he gets too heavy. I agree with Lean beef that he doesn't quite look like 1200...

:) Nice Heifer-- I wouldn't turn her away either.  If she was mine- she'd be going in with my roan bull to see what kind of great color pattern I'd get!  I think she looks like an old school red and white Simmental marked calf before I would call her Hereford marked.  EF
