We used the waznt me bull the first year that he came out and found that he worked well on moderate framed cattle and it didnt really seem so make a difference if they were clean fronted or anything like that.  We had a few good steers but had some really nice heifers.  I was wondering if anyone...

I suppose there is could be something else, the vet never did run any tests or anything she just said that it looked like roto virus but I thought that it looked like a scours also so that was how I was treating it till that point and I geuss I still kinda treat it that way.  Like I said we...

I think that the cattle are very well represented. Not over done and just roughed out for there picture I hope that more people in the shorthorns in canada will learn how to present there cattle for a sale and how to take pictures cause lets face some of the pictures in some sales might as well...

Thats what the local vet said when we had her look at one calf when she was here one year.  She might be wrong I suppose never did look for a second opinion b/c we never lost a calf and were always able to cure them it just seemed to knock them back a little bit compared to the other calves.

Just wondering what everyone uses to treat this virus.  We only seem to get a couple of cases a year and its always seems to be some cows that we bought a couple of years ago I suspect that the past owner use to scour guard which we dont do b/c we never have to big of problem.  Our vet says that...

We started on Jan 1 (no cheating either she calved a 4 am jan 1st) we are done our red angus cows and half the shorthorns so far in the reds we got 4 sets of twins and the rest have all been bull calves so we have no usefull heifer calves which really sucks cause we really enjoy showing heifers...

JIT- I did not know that they had online registrations that just goes to show how much work the assoc does on letting there breeders know what is available to them.  Do you know where all the money goes that we put into the assoc b/c to me its seems like they dont do very much with it, hence the...

We found that in Canada all the fees were high and that what we got back in return from the assoc was pathetic.  The whr thing was my first turn off but I know why it was done and realize its b/c the horns are a smaller breed and need all the money that they can get.  I found the whole process...

Last night I was watching the KTLA news and they had a story about abuse at the Chico slaughter plant.  The were butchering cull cows and some of them were what we would call downer cows so they were pushing, draging and carrying them with a fork lift in order to get them inside.  It was pretty...

This winter has been pretty easy on us so far but today got cold fast. Yesterday it was +7c and then when I woke up this morning it was -24c with a wicked wind and it has gotten colder as the day went on they say it is around -47c with the wind chill, all I know is any skin that isnt covered...

We dont like twins either b/c it does take alot out of the cows.  We did talk about if we get more we might have to do some creep feed this year just to take a little pressure off the cows.  We did get more rain then usual last spring so that probably had something to do with it.

We strated calving the first week of January and s far we got 40% twins.  We use to calve in Feb/Mar but we moved up to Jan/Feb this year would that have  anything to do with the increase?  Also everyset of  twins is one bull and one heifer.  Is this the most combanation of twins?  I sure hope...

I geuss the reason that I thought it was alright is b/c I know the guy that bought the bull at the mart and he is very crooked.  And alot of these guys that buy bulls through the auction mart turn around and resell them as breeders and sure these bull look alright but lots of them develop humps...

Yes the neighbour lied to him.  I think that it was the right thing to do b/c as a bull seller if you want a good breeding bull you do not go to the auction mart.  There are lots of breeders in our area that raise good bulls and stand behind that product and we all have a bottom end of our sales...

This happened a few years ago.  We have a guy in our area that tries to sell bulls off his farm as purebred red angus even though he doesnt have a papered cow or a angus membership.  Well one of our neighbours bought one cause they were cheap but suprise the bull didnt breed a single animal b/c...

With the recent talk about allowing cloned meat and milk on the market there seems to be alot of people against it.  It seems like adding wood to the fire to me as we see more people moving away from eating red meat due to all the studies and write ups that tell people that it is bad for you due...

Greaand t Question I will start by talking about the commercial cattle that we run I feel that this part of the industry is going to have to go through alot of changes and soon.  If the industry want to keep the ranchers we need to get more then 400 to 500 bucks a calf if the prices dont change...

I dont think that Brylor will be selling fully loaded semen but it will probably be sold privately.

Well I talked to alot of people that entered denver from uphere and so far none of them are going now b/c of the rules and regs but they said the there was suppose to be a meeting on friday to see if the could get buy with a special permit.  But even with the special permit some people might not...

Just a brief story on fully loaded bull.  Six Mile bought him as a calf from ter-ron at there bull sale and he cst them $50, 000 for half interest, they showed him last year and then again this year and along with ter-ron they sold a half interest at red roundup for $70, 000 to a group of...
