We look at it more as a hobby than a way to make money.  How many people drop $25,000+ on a boat/camper and don't think twice about it?  What about that swimming pool in your back yard?  It's something the whole family can do together, so rather than spend weekends at the lake, these people...

I don't think there's any pics on the web, could see about getting a mature picture of him, he would be about 9 years old now.

K-Kim Payton is a bull that Nebraska Bull Service carries, has been proven very easy calving, as well as throwing some style on his calves.  Sired a Grand Champion Bull at NWSS as well as Reserve Champ shorthorn steer, KS State Fair.

I may be wrong, but I would think three months through winter would be enough time to regrow hair, especially if it is getting worked with on a regular basis.

If money is no object, the Silencers or Daniels Manufacturing chutes are the way to go.  Also assuming money is no object, the Moly hydraulic crowd tub, with the hydraulic double alley to hydraulic single alley is the way to go.

Just a thought on the correlation between colder weather and birth weights:  Could it have something to do with management/feeding during the last trimester?  We usually are on corn stalks until mid-January, then bring the cows in to calve closer to the house.  When we move them in we start...

Just go to the King Ranch website, we toured there a couple years ago, and I was very impressed by the operation.

I was very pleased with the bull we bought from Mitchell's.  He was leaning a little more towards show shape when we picked him up, but got into breeding shape by the time breeding season rolled around.  He kept his cover very well through a terribly dry Kansas summer, running with about 10 cows...

We added a new member to our "herd" on Friday.  She is shown below with two very proud big sisters.

In our small community, the school calls most of the parents that haven't applied for reduced/free lunches, as well as though that haven't sent in any special needs paperwork just to make sure they would not qualify.  The government is willing to give them X number of dollars for these programs...

AJ-Mr. Polifka is still farming out here now with his two boys.  The tax I know of was a state tax, so did not apply if shipping out of state.  The operation I was working with raised buffalo, and also did hunts.  The state audited them every year, not sure if it was because of the hunts or the...

Yahoo Health has published a "news" story about the 8 cruelest foods, and beef, pork, and chicken made the list.  The most appalling part of this story is that it uses Compassion over Killing and HSUS as sources.  How could someone be so ignorant as to use animal rights groups as sources?  They...

Just a few of the rules I can remember for Kansas are:  Plant must be USDA inspected, If you are selling by the cut/pound, the package has to come from the butcher with a kind of cut and weight of cut on the tag, you must collect sales tax if you are selling cuts, you can be audited by the USDA...

My favorite is the one where she's trying to see over the steers back.

Last I checked $600-$120 was $480, so you are only $80 low, not $100.  I'm not trying to call anyone out, just stating both sides.  The cattlemen in most states have similar monies available to them from the government, you just have to know where to look.  I'm not saying I'm for this government...

Always happy to correct those that are wrong...................that's a joke. However, you sound pretty wrong just from your own statements. Any product with an artificial market, one that is not subject to the laws of supply and demand, is subsidized. There is zero demand for Ethanol. ZERO no...

We were hoping to wash and clip calves this weekend to get pictures of the sale calves.  It is supposed to be 55 for a high and 34 for a low.  My question is, how cold is too cold?  I was hoping to start around 9, just didnt know if it was still below 40 if that would be too cold?  We would be...

Off-topic, but I would be leery of letting them eat out of the bunk as non-ruminants don't handle products like rumensin very well.

Last year my dad was taking a crippled 450 lb. calf to the butcher, about a 25 mile drive.  We loaded him and both double checked the gate.  He got out on the interstate and was headed in, about 3 miles from his destination when a highway patrol pulled him over to tell him he needed to go back...

Two things:  First, I think there are very reasonable priced animals out there.  You will just have to look a little harder.  Second, the longer we are in this game, the more I see the word reasonable needing to be thrown out the window.
