    Tiger woods bull

    We have a Tiger Woods steer this year and he looked great as a calf up to about 800lbs. Its been downhill since. Eats great but doesn't convert it to body weight . Also lacks a lot of depth. That said its just one calf so I can't say its true of all TW calves just ours. Not sure he would make my...

    Breeding question

    We didn't give them anything. Just knew what their cycle was and had been keeping track since the first of the year so we knew when to watch for them to come in. We bred 12 hours after the first sign of activity on both heifers. As far as body condition the older heifer would be a 6 the the...

    Breeding question

    Ok this may be a dumb question but here goes. We have 2 heifers we bred in mid April no signs of heat in either one and the last one we bred was supposed to come in for the second time yesterday.

    depth charge on market steers

    i actually talked to a nutritionists from Purina and he told me it does expand in the gut and help add depth and may result in less feed intake at first.

    Pumice stone/grill brick

    You could try try the weaver shedding comb and work the daylights out of him with it but we just slick em down around mid March and start over again . Unless you have a show coming up in the near future and are wanting to try to keep some hair for that. Otherwise shear them.

    Hair Help needed

    We have herefords and the best way we have found is to use a rice root brush when you finish rinsing and brush it straight down then comb it at a 45 angle down then forward. Its the best way we have found to get rid of the wave and curls

    Fan Types

    If you aren't planning on moving them for a long time, we like the Schaefer 36" barn fans. They move a lot of air and seem to hold up really well. We have 4 of them and have had them for about 10 years and run them all almost every day from daylight to dark. Never had a problem with them...

    We feed a ration mixed at our local mill it is a 12% protein. To that we add appetite express and peanut oil. He was wormed a month ago with Safegaurd paste. He has a good appetite and cleans his feed up. I don't know maybe he is just a poor doer ? After talking to several people and hearing...
