I don't believe this is just stories. I live in an area that is feedlot country,  the small and private owned lots are going empty, out of business, or closed.  There is a 65,000 head capacity feedlot that has 12,000 head -- and lots of rumors going around about its future. The only lots...

www.sekgenetics.com/bull_pg.php?bull=2807&breed=4 Knabe--  the above link is the Maverick that I am talking about,  he is a Sooner that sold in Green Valleys sale this spring. NSF --  ya could very well be right,  I would have been happy to have brought him home to.    I was hunting and...

Well then-- maybe we are looking for something different.   I will give ya that Maverick is not going to stand out in a bunch of cross bred clubby bulls.   But for a pure bred Maines, I thought that Maverick and quite a few of Green Valleys bulls were impressive.  They seemed to have quite a bit...

I used one straw of Bad Medicine -  last year by accident ( have no idea how it got in my tank, thought I was using Pistol Pete).  After the cow was AI'd, looked at the straw and seen it was Bad Medicine. Cow is a reg angus - small framed,soggy and deep.    Got a bull calf, nothing...

Have no idea if Sooner will stand the test of time-   but Green Valley did have impressive bulls from Sooner, and they sold very well.    Top bull was $32,000 and went to Lautner and he is selling semen on him as Maverick. Does anybody know which stud is collecting Maverick? About the only...

Have fed lots of ground ear corn and its great stuff. Only advice I have is that feeding finishing ration of 80% ear corn and 20% Purina fortifier is to much corn and needs to be cut with something. Yes - learned the hard way.    Acidosis from to much corn. Figure will still use the fortifier...

I have heard people talk about cooking corn to get a better finish on steers. Is steam flaking corn going to be the same or close to cooking corn for finish?    I can get steam flaked corn for my sons steers,  this corn is suppose to reach over 200 degrees before being flaked. Also -  how...

Just will give ya my a quick 2 cents-- They are all the same inside,  Circ, sullivans, Blue Ribbon, and probably some more---  all get the same motors and turbins from the same manufacture and install in thier own housing.    Long story short --  price, switches, filters, cords, housings and...

I have never tried this, but have heard that if you take a huge dose of laxative--  you wont dare cough! Sorry-  couldn't resist the attempt at humor ( I was already logged in),  and kids--  DONT TRY THIS AT HOME have a good one

I know that you can measure heifers, but is it possible to measure mature cows? Neighbor thought that the tool did not open big enough to measure mature cows, but has any body got knowledge of this idea. Just a thought with all the talk of bwt weights and calving trouble. Thanks and have a...

Brad I will try this again now that I have more time. The small cows that I am thinking of are potential carriers mainly from About Time and a few others that you wouldn't know.  They have some really cool calves but seem to wean at like 450 lbs and are finished at like 1100 lbs.  They are...

Brad Had a long post with a bunch of questions for ya and then got rejected and deleted when I went to post. Try to make this short-  What kind of frame and birth weight does this bull produce? What stud was this semen collected at? I have some small framed, deep and thick cows that have...

I have never seen Matt judge a show, but I am suprised that he still has time to judge cattle shows since he has gotten into race horses. good luck and have a good one

DENVER (Reuters) - Meat processor JBS Swift & Co. has fired 130 Muslim workers after they refused to return to work in a dispute with the company over Ramadan fasting and meal breaks, company and union officials said on Thursday. Manny Gonzales, spokesman for the United Food Workers Commercial...

Thanks for all the info from everybody.    I will let this one ride and see what I might get.  My first impression that I had when I seen the pedigree and the age of the bull was that he was probably very old and out of modern style.  The only thing that might be concerning me was the...

Does any one know about a Maine bull named  "Bad Medicine reg# 140395, born in 1989".     maine-anjou.weaveyourwebdreams.com/breed/pedigree.asp?RegNo=140395    I hope the above turns blue and you can just click on it to see the pedigree.    The reason I am asking is that I ran low on semen...
