    Anybody Else Feeding hay in June?

     Do you and I have the same definition of hate?   I guess I should have known that as soon I mentioned God that somenone would cry hate.   Is the planet warming maybe I do not know.  But outside of going in a time machine and looking at the planet and recording temperatures since the beginning...

    Best type of breed, or animal to use as a milk cow?

    Thank's  for the replies, I had not thought about the milk tasting different between cows and goats (makes sense).  I will look into the Jersey's more.  Thanks

    Anybody Else Feeding hay in June?

    I bet if everyone turned their ac's on high we could cool the planet down and if that doesn't work we would just need more air conditioner's (job creation).  Or maybe make 2 giant fans (I mean giant), put one at the south pole and one at the north and blow that cool air around (surprising Al...

    Best type of breed, or animal to use as a milk cow?

    I've been throwing around the idea of buying a heifer or goat to use as a animal to supply drinking milk for my family ( we had a milk cow when I was a kid, but all I remember is she was reddish brown).  Any suggestions as far as what breed of bovine or goat would be best.  I know zero about...

    When to castrate?

    http://www.farmersalmanac.com/calendar/zodiac/ I'm with LeanBeef, when I have time I go with the sign.  We usually try to wean calves with the sign in the knees, some people swear by them ( a lot of old timers used them, it is becoming a lost practice).  They have signs for planting...

    Waukaru Patent 8161

    Here is a bull calf out of Patent's full brother ( Top Shelf).  Not the best pic, but he is very impressive to me in person (I like him more every day, he has diffenitely exceeded my expectations so far).  He is a early March calf.  He is a growing machine, very calm, dark red.  His momma was...

    We got a True - Test set of scales that would work for both pigs and cattle (digital, on wheels), I forget what they cost.

    I provide the carcass data...you guess the breed

    This is the part I don't understand.  Why don't several breeders go together and feed a group of cattle.  They could go to about any packing plant, and get some carcass data.  Some plants actually pay for a chunk of the freight.  It doesn't take very many cattle, a pot trailer will hold 36 - 40...

    I provide the carcass data...you guess the breed

    Maybe they take good grading groups of non black cattle and give them a couple CAB's as a incentive to keep the quality and switch to black (like hey you could get a little more if the calves were black).   The packers do make a little extra with CAB so why not try to entice a breeder to change...

    Hint?  Maybe more like a curve ball.  We used to have some longhorns go CAB (they weren't black). ;)  Shorty

    I provide the carcass data...you guess the breed

    How bout you give another clue like carcass weight. There are some angus that can do this but most would be higher yield grades. Herford, Gelbvieh, Charloais, (carcass weights would help) Given the yield grades, I will say shorthorn or Red Angus

    Help Me Vote Obama Out

    I'm Christian and I feel no obligation to vote for Obama ( actually it is quite the other way around).  Is Obama Christian or is it just convenient for him?  Just because one calls themselves Christian doesn't mean a whole lot to me especially in politics (especially when their vote, stance...
