We are new to the cattle industry. Currently we own 6 head of Angus and Crossbred cattle. In all honesty, none of them are spectacular they are at best average cattle. Our goal at the moment is to figure out where we want our cattle herd to go from here. I am a fan of shorthorn cattle and my dad...

We own some crossbred cows that we are hoping to be able to up-breed. However we don't know what all breeds allow an up-breeding or percentage program. If you could help us out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

His sire is SS Kaboom and his dam is a Trump Card cow. I weighed him this two weeks ago and he was 821 gaining 3.7 pounds on average a day. He was purchased at the end of August and hasn't been clipped since then. Washed him before these pictures. Has been in a pasture (grain fed of course) with...

It says in this sale catalog http://studershorthorns.com/catalogs/Family%20Legacies%20Catalog%202012.pdf.pdf he is dead. There selling the last semen they will offer on him.

Ok so should we implant him once until 1000lbs or every so many days?

So are multiple doses of different implants a good idea? To give them a kick now give them Ralgro or Synovex C and then implant with Revalor at 1000lbs? How do you know how long an implant lasts for? I'm guessing the pellets dissolve when used up? Sorry if these are dumb questions we have never...

We are trying to be more competitive at our county fair and are improving our feeding program and cool room. However we know the people that do well at our fair are using some sort of implants to help their steers. We were thinking of revalor but of the 6 types didn't know what we should use? We...

Have any pictures, prices, and reg #?

If you were to buy one how do you train them and how to you attach the donkey and calf? What size donkey works the best?  I have also been looking into getting one.

Just trying to get a good idea on an average cull cow price to decide weather or not to purchase an older cow and bull (6 and 7).

I would say be careful. I know of a person in our county who got in trouble for doing this because he was "acting as a vet" and providing animal care advice and had to go to court for it. His vet turned him in. I would bet the laws vary by state though

I am currently searching for a show steer and was wondering what a reasonable amount to pay to be able to break even on the project but still get a good calf? Thanks.

The biggest thing for us is we have a cow herd of 6 two being a steer and a feeder. So we didn't know if we should try to build our herd up before culling or not. Besides the crossbred cow and her calves we only have an angus cow and bred heifer. The beltie does regularly give us a calf and...

We have a belted galloway cross cow who we have had for three years I believe. She is very easy to keep weight on feeding just hay. She is a larger framed cow. We have two heifer calves out of her. The first calf is 2 years old and not bred yet because of her small size. The 2nd heifer calf...

Looking for a PB and Crossbred steer calf for 2013 fair I am looking to purchase two steer calves for an August 2013 Fair. I have to get them soon because I'm going to college so won't have time to find them after this years fair. I don't want to pay more than $1,500 per animal if possible...

purebred

She has had two calves. We are loking to add width, debth, and mass. Good EPD's would be great but not really worried about BW. Growth is more important now. She has Champion Hill Rita and Victoria on both sides. Her sire is Gahler Emulation Double X 52 and dam is Advance Mis Design 32R. Reg...

We have a belted galloway cow who has never been fed grain. She is so round she always looks ready to calve. And she is larger framed. Sure wish our other Angus cows would be like that.

We currently own a small herd and are going to be renting pasture where the owner has cattle. What information do you put on your ear tags? What has worked well for you etc? Thanks.

I am working on a business plan and trying to figure out how you all decide if you are doing good or not. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks. ;D
