    Rumor Mill Calves UPDATE

    If you enlarge the picture you can see she has some bone, muscle and depth and spring of rib. And you might be able to see that the hair in her ears is still longer than her tags  (lol). Unfitted, comments welcome. Also as you can see in the picture she is on some junky grass and weeds.

    Rumor Mill Calves UPDATE

    She didn't keep the curly hair, was long and thick jet black until mid august. Once she slicked off she started growing like an SOB  <rock>. Hopefully this doesn't come in sideways, I tried rotating it.

    Ready 2 Rumble

    I have a heifer that is bred to calve in April, I will be holding her back to Jan to get her back in cycle with the others. So she will be one month short of 4 on her second calf. She needs more spring of rib, and depth without loosing the look and muscle and size. Would this be a good match...

    Beef Feeder to Steer Question??

    If he really is 600 now he needs to be on grass and hay until your weigh in for Rate of Gain (if you do that). If he keeps going at this rate (3.4 lbs a day if you subtract 80 lbs for BW and do 520 lbs for weight gained since march) he would be 1700+ by next august (3.4 lbs/day x 17 months (age...

    Eye Candy & Boardwalk

    CRS I believe you had a typo, a 7 week old calf at 300 pounds would be an ADG of almost 5 pounds a day (4.8 not including the weight at birth 6.2 including bw). I don't believe that.

    Lazy Steer

    I think sullivans had a paste that was used like an energy drink. They told us about it at Stock Show University, it is the Caffeine equivalent of a 175 pound man drinking one diet coke or maybe it was diet pepsi. I think it comes with a dosage guide

    How do you decide to make him a steer or leave him a bull?

    That is a question of do you want money now or more profit later from semen sales and selling the calves of the 'superior' bull. He is one heck of a calf by the way  (thumbsup)  (clapping)  <cowboy>  <rock>  <party>  O0  8)  :)  ;D

    New shower/calf

    Is she in a group? Being in a group is important for cows, they are a herd animal. She needs a buddy for at home and she will be fine at the shows because of all of the other animals. I would GUESS that most of the problems would end if she were in a group

    Fall Show Calf Sale MO/IA/IL

    I live in extreme North East Missouri and I am trying to help a friend find a heifer, I would only buy if there were to be a bargain  (thumbsup). We live around Wayland and Canton, MO or you may have heard of Keokuk, IA. Would travel up to two hours maybe 2.5. Closer is better. Budget 2-3K per...

    Slick shearing cattle

    Do you even have to buzz off the switch and tail hair? I would think that this would be ugly on Char X cattle, like a rat tail.

    Muddy Creek - So did about every one else that saw the two  (thumbsup). They are both dog tame but I couldn't be out here every day. Based on the amount of success I have seen with MAB and Point Taken I think that I will probably be AI'ng all of the cows to one of those 2
