Get involved in the local youth programs. Hold a demo day or clinic for the kids. It gets the kids interested brings their parents out and if nothing else you are giving back to the youth and future of the business. I still deal with a number of people that supported our local groups as a kid

What cows is he working best? What does he add or take from calf? Have some semen to use was wondering how to best make use of it. Hoping to breed up some high% maintainers with some roaning.

X2 spoke to Chris today after some emailing back and forth very polite and helpful will continue dealing with him in the future.

Put in an order today on semen going to try the Jose bull from executive sires. Wondering what everyones opinions are on this bull. What type of cows would he work best with. I was thinking on using him on some Special Edition bred cows and fullblood influenced first calf hefiers. Any opinions...

Just squirt it under  the tongue and let the capillaries absorb it in.

As both a Canadian and a Maine producer I understand bw can be higher in my herd that being said I believe in raising hefiers capable of having 90# calves and cows that can calve out those 100+#. However I won't keep a bull calf exceeding 110 as they are hard to market. Resulting I try not to...

Try giving her about 1cc banamine under her tongue and then try her on bottle 5-10 min later. Has worked in the past with similar situations. Learned it from an old charolais producer I knew. Good luck

Personally I try to calve my cows out on winter pasture as much as possible. I use lots of bedding in sheltered areas such as along the wind break fence as a well as the tree lines and draws. I find calves stay healthier the sooner they get out into more open areas. That being said with wind...

Put your salt lick or mineral pan inside the creep feeder and or some grassy hay. Something they are familiar with already older calves like that should take to it quite quickly when get the idea of going into the creep fence. As for the quiet wean method I find at that age the cows could also...

Suh x SWM 727Y came yesterday afternoon. Bull calf 100# unassisted.

He was a bit course through his front but a very good steer overall . He was out of real deep sided Angus cow.

I80 and sons, Mitten Man have seen some really good maintainer type calve off him, Suh but he can throw some bw. A lot of the older Maine bulls also work great on commercial cows.

Have had a couple good Pistol Pete cows really quiet good milkers good long spined cows. Had a bullseye steer as a 4h kid dog gentle reserve champion at local show back in 99.

Deere's a good machine but takes a bit more maintance than the nh in my experience. We have a Deere as my family bleeds green lol. Although our neighbors nh runs beautifully.

Call me old fashioned but advocate cutting when ever possible. Heals faster less hard on the calves and you know darn well you have two. Although cattle over 500# you are better off to vaccinate for tetanus and give anti toxin then use the band reduces chance of heavier calves bleeding out. That...

First calf today out of Suh 78# hefier calf born to a second calver special edition granddaughter. Unassisted vigorous up and about in an hour.

Moto moto would make a cool looking calf. Daddy's Money could be a good clean option as well.

We don't sell many prospect calves but my kids own cows and calves are theirs to pick from. If they want something from my cows they wait til out cows are picked over first. Now I'm fortunate our oldest daughter is only seven and is just picking a replacement hefiers each year right now. But I'm...

Good calf, really like that cow. That's the kind of cow to really raise some good ones and make an argument for red hided momma's. Really nice to see them kind.

Big deals just down the road from us good Galloway cattle good people. Russell's always told me the Dunn's are the good ones. The make good cross bred calves too. A good friend if mine has a white big deal bull and gets real good cross bred calves with some color. Here's a calf from the white...
