Ever been to a show where you can see the cattle placed by color ( the best blacks at the top down to the middle, then the best colored cattle in the middle and placed on down to the bottom)?  I was a spectator at a show where the judge had a real problem placing anything but blacks at the...

What we have used and found to have a  really nice attitude, that you would like to see a very young kid get to be around--  Kadabra, Sunseeker, Jakes Proud Jazz, and most shorthorns, and quite a few of the higher percentage Maines. We dont really start them young and just kind of halter and...

Aussie--  I assume that you are an Australian,  got a quick question for ya?      Let me explain this and then I will ask---  back in the 1980's, there was a breed of dog that became quite popular here for a while as a cattle dog.  They were called a Dingo and were supposed to be the wild...

We have had several Border Collies, that were smart and handled cattle with brains (maybe more brains than me).  These dogs got old and both died or old age, 14 and 17 yrs old.    So my dad decides he wants something more aggressive and gets him a red heeler x border collie.    Well this is...

bobtom--  You must have balls of steel to post what you did,  so as long as ya have gone this far,  --  what do you charge, how many steers have you worked on,  and what are the side effects or how often does this ruin a steer?    Ever been caught and gone to jail,  banned from shows, ever...

Every bull stud has their own standards for what they will freeze and ship ---  or the junk they throw away.  I am talking about the studs that actually collect the semen and put it in the straws,  not the dealers or pimps that just sell and distribute. Some have very high standards and...

That is almost unreal that the number 9 steer can have that big of a rib eye and still grade prime.  Any body else ever notice that the bigger the rib eye, the smaller the odds of being choice --  much less prime?  Notice the 3 and the 8 are 15 inch or bigger and select. Anybody know the...

My advise would be--  if she has a ranch and can afford to buy a cattle trailer,  you should marry her!    BUT--  if its a trailer for horses---  dump her. hope this helps and have a good one

I have no idea what they are,  but seems spooky that one says explosives and the other says danger--  and they are falling from the sky. You dont have any strange holes in the ground or big craters where your manure pile used to be? have a good one

When I bought  my 2006 wilson 24 ft., unhooked it on a scale -  weighed 4080 lbs with the spare tire and clean (never had a hoof in it).    First alum trailer ever had and love it--  really easy pullin compared to steel.  Had tie loops put in for when occasionally hauling show cattle. I was...

Tama, of all the thousands of carriers that are available, why do you say to steer Ivy League.    I think you are trying to say eliminate all carriers,  but why start with Ivy League?    I have calves from him--  he's not a cow killer, or a 6 way cross of multiple breeds, and his daughters...

Farmgirl or any one --  tell us more about this Tattle tale system.    Have you used it, how does it work,  how good did it work and cost ect.? Valley vets site doesn't give much info on this. There was another one, that a limo breeder that is a member on here, was talking about, is this the...

My Grandpa always said " theres more ways to kill a cat than just sticking a thorn is his a$$". An old Angus breeder said about epd's,   " figures dont lie, but liars do figure". farmers about poor farm ground,   " ya couldnt even plant viagra on that ground and get anything to come up". " If...

Rancher,  I think that r-calf can be really narrow minded and blind of the big picture. But if the packers can own enough of the cattle to cover their contracts, and can take or leave the private owned fat cattle---  they will not keep the feedlots in business. Then when you and I try to sell...
