Of course it is about winning or you wouldn't keep trying to improve.  We have won with purchased calves but does that mean it was a more successful project? 

This was our 3rd year playing with market steers.  The first year we bought a good calf and raised one of our own.  The second year we also bought market heifers and raised market steers.  This year we kept only some of our own.  I was talking to another parent and they were bemoaning the fact...

Ever thought that maybe Heatwave was a terminal sire and keeping heifers is generally not a good idea.  Friend of mine once said Heatwave with strip the milk out of a holstein.  Might not be the calf but a general lack of feed. 

Meyer and Who is a proven cross.  Not always but usually it works. 

I AI and load in the truck to pasture.  It is only a 7 mile ride and it is usually only 2 or 3 pair in a stock trailer.  I haven't been able to see enough variance in conception to know.

I have had good luck with Nuflor on foot rot.  If you can stand him in a strong iodine solution that can also help.  Make sure you check withdrawls and talk with a vet. 

I agree like if mr. obama is a US citizen and born in the US then why did he go to school as a foreigner?  He is either not a citizen or he lied to get a scholarship.  Just equal accountability.  

I agree with this so long as we the people do not have to pay the cost.  For example, you have every right to recreational drug use but you forfeit your right to state medicare.  Have sex all you want but don't ask me to pay for the abortion or pay to raise your child.  Drink all you want but...

We are extremely Se deficient in these parts.  We give the cows a shot of Mu-Se and the cows get Bo-Se.  We also has a special Se supplement that we mix with the high Se salt.  Besides the muscles problems with cows low Se can lead to breading problems.  We have a vet protocol for all this lest...

You might look at Casper College in Casper Wyoming.  They are a 2 year program.  Get an associates and then go on.  Casper has a good reputation and a small town feel. 

have a red heifer out of and Irish Whiskey son and Whiplashes mother. 

The hereford angus mother cow has been a staple for years on this place.  I keep about half in the cows by going back and forth between the bulls.  Then come in with Char, simi, limi, maine, or any other exotic as the terminal.  It flat works and has ever since they quit docking for cross bred...

Anymore there are more differences within a breed than between them.  If you have the little pudgy OCC looking angus then Meyer or sons seem to work well.  Most purebred simmi guys didn't like Meyer in his own day.  In the words of on, "He is a slab sided no gut wonder, but he worked on soft...

Just forwarded it to every lawyer I know.... (clapping)

I had an old mule man tell me that is the only way to break a mule to lead.  Have a halter on before it is out of the mare. 

I raised calves on one of those big dairies.  Maybe not millions but 500+ bottle calves a year.  The starter we used was basically the same as milk replacer in the form of a pellet.  It had some grains and other stuff but by and large was milk in another form.  I friend of mine and his brothers...

Then why do we have a milk epd if it doesn't matter?  This is might not be the most asinine thing you have ever said but darn close.  All mammals need milk as babies.  A good calf starter can help but you still need milk.  Back on topic.  I have a family milk cow that I bottle feed calves on...
