Hey everyone,  The past name the bull thread was a HUGE success and I enjoyed seeing photos of everyone's favorite bulls.  I'm looking forward to the same with the cows.

There are a lot of things we will take into account when selecting a bull.  Of course structure and type are high on the list along with "adequate" performance.  Looking at BW's can sometimes be a different challenge because cows are managed so differently from operation to operation.  If I had...

Managing the birthweight issue has been a long standing topic with many of addages or tricks that seem to work for some and not for others and with different results from year to year.  There have been a number of university studies that looked at protein supplementation and it's relation to...

Hi everyone, I wanted to see If I could get some advice from all of you about keeping cattle on feed while traveling from home to a show.  I run into the problem every year.  The bulls get to the farmshow in the evening and will not eat or drink anything from after noon on Tuesday until after...
