Seed oats here are $26/bag, or 50#.  So $0.50/# isn't bad.  A few things you have to look out for:  if you get just feed oats from the elevator, especially with this years hot weather, the germination may not be very good; it is actually illegal, depending on the variety, to buy seed that you...

Anyone have any information on Deerpark Improver the 3rd?  Have some semen on him, just curious what kind of cows he would work on, any calving issues, etc.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My only issue is that it notified me when my bid was placed, which is great, but did not notify when I was outbid.  I would prefer an email when outbid, so I don't have to babysit the auction.

15" NW Kansas, pretty strong winds, I'm 6'2" and had some drifts taller than me.  We are right on the edge for the heavier snow today and tomorrow.

Don't know, but could be similar to the case of their new THF, PHAF smoky sire, where they bought him after Denver.  Never saw him promoted before Denver, when the others were promoted heavily, seems like it would make sense they bought him after Denver, or shortly before, but not enough time to...

Martin's were picked grand champion.

Had one killed near here they thought was a coyote, turns out it was a wolf.  The link is below.  They were our coyote hunting and came up on this bad boy.  Easily twice the size of a coyote.  What do you guys think the chances of there only being one are?  We have been told for years there is...

Are you guys just copying and pasting from year to year?  This topic comes up every year about this time.  Somebody's paying too much for a bull, somebody's paying too much for the cow they just bought.  What does it matter to you?  How do you determine the worth of something?  If someone is...

It's an old Paul Harvey poem, if you google Paul Harvey or "God Made a Farmer" poem, I'm sure you would find something.  My grandfather passed away 5 years ago, and as a tribute this year for Christmas, my cousins had a 5X10 foot sign printed with a picture of my grandpa laid in behind the poem.

Is a bull's fertility not somewhat heritable to his daughters?  I am thinking a bull that is not producing that well, maybe I wouldn't want too many daughters out of him.  I know that scrotal circumference is related to fertility and is heriditary, but does the inability to produce viable semen...

As a agronomy salesman and a cattle breeder, I have quite a bit of experience with what they are calling "New Generation Sorghums."  I personally would not feed anything that is not a BMR-6, and would prefer to be the brachytic dwarf hybrids.  As far as yield and cost go, in our area of NW...

There is next to no industry that is not in some way "helped" by the US government.  Most are in direct subsidy payments, some in grants.

Had a 3 year old buffalo bull with a basketball sized lump on his hip one time.  We ran him into the buffalo chute and felt around, felt really hard, poked with a needle and couldn't get anything out.  Cut into it anyway, and the puss started clumping out.  The infection had thickened up so much...

Can spastic paresis be worse or better depending on calf?  Will it show up in both legs or can it appear in just one?  Have had a couple shorthorn calves that appear to do this.

Has anybody tried any Char X Shorthorn, or char appearing (Milkman, Yellow Jacket, etc.)?  Curious to see pictures.  Thinking of trying this on a few of our reg. shorthorn cows and wandering what the results would be?  Mostly trying to simplify the semen ordering, with only 15 cows would like to...

Just so there's no confusion, you can't "cure out" nitrates, if they were in the plant when they were harvested, they will be there when it is fed with one exception, ensiling.  In our neck of the woods nitrate has not been an issue this year, even with the drought, however, a $25 test beats the...

Not trying to start a war, but who would you guys say gives better service after the semen sale?  We are small producers and could always use some help placing calves, curious which of these semen sellers is best?  Both have very good bulls, just not sure which would be the most help after...

Where do I order one?

I still wonder, where to sires supposedly fathered this steer, could it just be a mix-up?  Maybe the calf that showed at AK-Sar was sired by Monopoly and this is a Walks?  Either way, this is just pure speculation on my part.  I don't have any connection at all to any of the parties involved, I...
