Shoot away with the good, bad and ugly. Picture was taken last fall when she was about 4-5 months old. Second picture is the heifers mother.

I don't know about 1 wire for shorthorns personally. I do however know that we had an angus x limi bull that from 1 year on could not be held with 2 and 3 wires. He never wandered far but never stayed in either. We sold him to another friend and never roamed on him. His temperament was as docile...

I dug up a picture of the heifer that I was talking about and thought I would add them.

From my limited experience fat cows can have unassisted births. The odds are higher though of having problems the fatter they are. It seems to me if her pelvic measurements are good I would have less concerns even if she is big. I agree with the earlier post that if you add possible big birth...

Good thought romax. She carrying a easy deal sons calf right now. We will see how that turns out. I also was aware that carpe diem was a carrier, thanks though. He is one of the few I already knew the carrier status on.

Yeah I know there is not going to be a end all be all answer just wandering what everyone has had the best return on. Like you say anything could fall into that territory. How about going with a zebu or longhorn, just kidding of course.

I am sure along the way there has been a similar post just couldn't find it in search. If I was trying to improve in every aspect possibly with the exception of frame what would be the best carrier free bull to go with. It could be for show or replacement heifers and breed does not matter. The...

Is the Rasor family in question from WHR Shorthorns? If it is my calves are almost walking distance from his place and I have got to believe that they are for a trim job at some level. He has been helpful to me and I don't even have shorthorn blood in my cattle.

You don't call a boy a cow

I have a 7 month old bull that has mysteriously hurt his left front leg . I talked to my vet and he seems to think that it is nothing to serious but just wandering if anyone else has had any similar occurrences. He will put weight on it but occasionally he stumbles somewhat. I could not see...

KCK if you happen across the number that would be great. We always had commercial animals and then my daughter took a liking to Herefords. So we started with a couple of girls from NLC. We have loved dealing with the cows as well as mr. Dugger He has gone out of his way to make sure we could get...

I know most people on here are not big Hereford people but was wondering if anyone new the results of the sale. I was mainly interested in lot 32 an Easy Deal son. I have a few cows bred to this bulls brother. Thanks for any information.

This definitely something for everyone to keep in mind, especially with the tame show animals. Everyone seems to stay more alert with a commercial herd but almost everyone I know drops there guard with their puppy dog show animals. I have to constantly remind my 9 year old daughter that even...

This has been several years back but just remembered it. There was a baldy steer that was constantly getting spots of missing hair. It was almost always on the same side and had no signs of anything to give a clue as to what might be causing this. The calf was housed at the school ag barn as...

Believe me I do not care for triple digit temps but at -35 call me riff raff, whimp, sissy whatever you want. I love working with our cattle but at those temps all I am going to see in that cow is a leather coat.

Agreed. I have always been told that when there is more than one person in the room, there will be more than one opinion. I believe that we are on opposite sides of the debate but that is why we live in the U.S.A. so we can have opinions. Wether the government is out to  get us or not I would...

To add to my earlier 2 cents, anyone involved in the banter can truly only know what they personally see to be true. Anyone or any side of the debate can find an anonymous letter, story, or so on and post it as supposed fact. If one person sees it and writes it does not make it fact for someone...

I live close to Dallas and see this on a regular basis as I am on the landing pattern loop to the north for DFW traffic. Last time I noticed these jets that are leaving this trail have American Airlines and other commercial names on them not U.S. Navy or U.S. Air Force. To add I have a relative...

How early is to early to start working with a calf? We have a bull calf that my daughter may show, he is not very old but came out the door pushing 100 lbs. and is growing like a weed. The first few days you could walk right up to him and pet all over him. He does not seem to be wild, but after...
