We actually have a local food plant that specializes in doughnuts and breads. One of my neighbors gets a semi load a week from them of their cast offs and uses it in his feedlot. Apparently they really love it. Unfortantely that's the only food outlet like that that we have around here...Good...

I do. At times his delivery annoys me, and he can get a little out there, but I think he makes some very good and valid points, if you can get away from the fear mongering messages at times.

As a purebred breeder, it seems we deal with the same group of buyers. Every year we get the bull buyers who want a bull with a 65lb birthweight, an 800 weaning, a 1400 yearling, in a frame 6 package, with a CE EPD of 110 and a BW number of -5, and pay pennies on the dollar for him. 

Right now we have them on free choice Payback mineral as well. Corn distillers are goign to be about the only option available as far as feed supps since we have an ethanol plant a short ways away. Honestly, we'd probably be better off buying hay though since a ton of distillers is going for...

With the winter we've been having, we seem to be burning through hay at a record pace this year. This, combined with the horrible drought we had last year, has the hay supplies dwindling quickly. At our current pace we'll be out of hay by April 10th. Do any of you folks have any ideas on what we...

I actually wonder the same thing, only why no Gelbvieh. I'm sure the front ends on the old animals is a big reason, but today's Guppy's are pretty clean fronted and have great maternal qualities.

Seriously, look at Meyer Meyer - you've got a triple bred 734 there, if anything is going to start displaying genetic oddities, he'd be a good candidate. With clubby genetics not being the most well documented at times, I could see someone throwing him a female with who knows what in the...

It'll probably hit Simmental and Meyer 734 will be a carrier.

Around here quite a few of the catalogs are making no mention of the AM status on the animals. I've also seen more then one of the 'big boys' catalog with no information.

What part of the country are you in? I might be able to send someone your direction...

I want to see that Heat Wave x Gelbvieh. I've always wondered how they would work bred to a clubby bull.

I do all of our conversion with software from AVS4YOU. You pay a lifetime subscription price of like $50 and you have access to quite a few different programs. My last project was to convert a half hour DVD into Flash format. The original DVD was 1.3GB in size. The flash file was around 170mb...

We're in the same mess down here JIT. Last week we actually hit the 30's so we had some melting happen, which was great, except the ground is still froze so we had standing water and mud all over the place. Then last night the temp took a nose dive and all that water froze up, so now we...

Now you've got me curious. I'd love to see picks of the Gelbvieh heifer!
