I think there is a chance to make money at any sale you go to because like xbar said the good bulls are going to sell good the average bulls aren't and if you could get a hand full of them average bulls and take them to the sale barn you can probably make 1-200 bucks off of them from what i have...

I like excede because it will work on scours as well as being a antibiotic, but as for an antibiotic i would go with Draxxin. Little more pricey, but also a little smaller dose and works awesome!

The top two rippers for me would be 1) case IH 870 and 2) the dominator. They both do a great job I think the 870 does a little better job in my personal opinion especially if you have the rolling basket on the back of it. Case is coming out with a new ripper called the 890 but the only real...

I actually just talked to Tree Lane Farms on Hobart because he is owned by them, as well as GCC but he is dead. They had some great females out of him on a sale on CWCattlesales.com. Saying they are not recommending him for use on heifers, but says they are coming 65-80#s and every semen catalog...

I do like breakin wind but one i thought of would be Wind Storm. Or you could do something like hurricane or tornado. Just a few thoughts

pulled another bull calf tonight, came backwards but was not overly big maybe 75 pounds out of a 7 or 8 year old cow. All of the cows we are calving out have been PB Angus, bred angus. PB Simmi bred simmi or simangus cows bred simmi. All of our heifers are bred to a calving ease angus bull. No...

well we have now had 4 more calves born in the last couple days. We had a first calf heifer have a 80ish pound bull calf which it looked pretty good sized for the cow. Today we had to give a first calf heifer a c section because the calf was so big (115 pounds!) both of these heifers were bred...

I hope you told her that there is no genetically modified wheat in the market place

I actually had the oppertunity to stop in there and talk to Glen Davis about the bull when I purchased a cane of semen on him. He is the number 1 bull in the angus breed in birth to YW spend. I did not get to view him personally becasue he was at stud when I had stopped but what i was told is...

It all depends on your situation. If you have high enough quality feed and pasture that if you get a heifer will be able to produce that kind of milk production without running herself ragged then 40 milk isnt bad. I would say in the 20s for milk is plenty. If you are keeping steers i would look...

Yup I'm thinking with the winter we had they will be a little larger than normal and the two I had were pb angus heifers bred to SAV Bismarck the ce bull. Most of our commercial cows are sim/angus bred to pb simmi bulls and are generally that 75-85# but I do have the chains ready for calving...

2 calves so far. One 2 weeks early and 49# and one 5 days early and 76#. We have our commercial cows starting in 5 days so I will have a little better idea than two. But I live in NE IA so we feed corn silage and corn stalks all winter with a little hay.

I have never been to the platteville show but i do know a lot about the river falls show as I was in charge of it a couple years back. The nice thing about the river falls show is that is is two rings running at the same time. We started that the year before i took it over and it was a big hit...

I use cattlemax and i really like it. You can pretty much track anything you want to from pedigree to health to show results. It also has a breeding planner where you can select the cattle you want to breed and what bull you are going to breed it to and it will pop up with epd and pedigree info...

I know UW-Platteville has a show 3rd weekend in April i believe. Also UW-River falls has a show the first weekend in May.

I am going to second SAV Bismarck. I had two heifers bred to him that calved this year. One was 2 weeks early (49# heifer calf) and one was a bull calf full term at 76#. Also when you are looking at epds look at the accuracy. Thats what i really like about Bismarck is that he is a very very...

I have always got along great with andis two speeds like these: https://www.sullivansupply.com/cart/ia/p-260-andis-ultra-edge-agc-super-2-speed-clipper-with-wide-blade.aspx But I see more and more people switching to 5 speeds

I have grown up on a cow/calf operation and we run about 100 cows. I moved to a farm 4 years ago on my father in laws property he also has about 100 cows and I could tell you every cow that is in our pasture. Even the ones who have lost their tags I can still identify them so I do have a pretty...

I have to agree I have been wanting to say something but I try to be respectful but when he puts post after post on the exact same topic it gets old in a hurry!
