    Just give them some room if you are concerned about noise or motion.  Those children deserve the opportunity too. They will have to put in lots of work to train the calf to remain calm.

    Slick cattle and haired cattle pix

    I just finished watching the Chi steer show at Houston and found it quite interesting.   In my untrained eye toward slick cattle, the winning steers seemed to be much more expressively muscled and leaner than the haired steers I have seen win.  At least one class winner appeared to have a...

    PB Simmi heifer

    Love her extension throughout, but may be a tick too straight on rear wheels to last. I also like her muscle design.  She is a little flatter than many would pick, but I see a valuable and fertile breeding piece here. Good luck!

    TH FREE MAB calves

    I believe mainegirl is asking about calves from the bull named TH FREE MAB rather than asking about TH free calves out of MAB.

    Young Heifer Pregant

    First, I would make sure she is getting no grain, just medium quality hay to help make sure calf is small. Does a vet think she has a large enough pelvic opening? Watch her close and have chains ready. There are a number of these things each year and many have positive outcomes. I think...

    Digi-star scale

    Seeking your input as to the quality and value of a used Digi-star scale.  Included bars, digital readout, and basic platform.    Something like 6600 pound capacity. Best guess is about 5 years old and never used.  Stored inside. What's it worth folks? I am looking to buy it from a friend or...

    Our Monopoly x Built Right bull calf

    I would think his best chance would be as a clean up bull for a club calf operation. Is he a half blood Simmental?  If so, he might make some low % Simmental steers or heifers.

    Who would you breed this ChiMaine Cow to?

    Very impressive bull.  Try to find the video on youtube.  He appears to be moderate in frame and super thick. He has sire numerous National Champion purebred Charolais cattle. I was thinking more of some of the Charolais cross bulls when I made my earlier suggestion.  BUT- With Firewater, you...

    New baby!

    Yup, looks like Idaho, or possibly a baseball mitt. We have a cow with a similar marking on the right side.  Her breeder thought it looked like someone thumbing a ride so they called her Hitchhiker.

    New baby!

    I got my first calf of the year on January 21.  Despite a dry, warm and well-bedded stall in my bar, the little girl was born outside on the ice and almost succumbed to hypothermia. Thanks to some friends and family, we were able to warm her up and return her to her momma. Baby is nursing...

    You will take a hit if you sell clubby cattle through a sale barn.  Gotta sell or feed the cattle that are not bought as club calves. Sure you want clubby cows? This one looks like a productive cow that will produce growth calves that will top the market.
