Do you understand the value that numerals represent?  Trillion has a lot of 0's behind it.  Look at our deficit over the past 2 years.  Look at our deficit the last 2 years of Bush, when who controlled the entire congress?  And what does congress control?  Can you say- spending?  Out of...

Is the price of beef is high because of ranchers are driving Cadillacs, and buying vacation houses in the carabean?  Have you looked into the whole process of oil production, refining and suppling?  High dollar fuel is here because of all the regulations and because our administration won't...

Here is your answer on Canadian oil.  http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/BarackObama-FredUpton-China-Oil/2011/07/02/id/402295?s=al&promo_code=C8BF-1 [flash=200,200]"The Obama administration is foot-dragging on approving a pipeline to deliver abundant Canadian oil to the United States at the...

I wouldn't jump to a snake bite.  You generally should see significant swelling and often puncture wounds.  Also, most snakes in Texas aren't as toxic as those on the west coast.  Death can occur, but it is not nearly as likely.   If any others die, I would recommend having them necropsied by...

I think there are probably multiple answers to the question.  In my mind: Category 1.  Medical issues- parasites, lung disease, etc...  some issues may not be uncovered until the animal is pushed by increasing physical activity, decreasing quality of feed, and then environmental such as heat. ...

The voices in your own head don't count.  The good news, is that there is medicine that might help. 

Angus is easy to explain, its called CAB and the push for marketing a black hided animal.  Framey terminal bulls are advertised to give producers some growth, but keep the black hide. And  in some programs, there is a premium for certified sires.  Cattle still sell by the pound and on average...

I wonder about a lot of things that are reported, but this would make sense if it were due to attempting to uphold an individuals religous beliefs- burial within 24 hrs. Head shots don't make for very pretty pictures.  A closed casket would be in order.  And pictures would be more inflammatory...

I watched this video tonight on the history of the Fed and it seems to fit a lot of what I have learned over the past year.    http://mises.org/mediaPlayer.aspx?MediaId=5702/How-Mainstream-Economics-Miseducates-About-Money-and-the-Fed

CBCR, Again, I'm not saying that composite animals cannot serve a function.  I have also had plenty of training in genetics in the past.  I read your links.  The links do not provide near enough information about how they are claiming to have arrived at their conclusions and data and method to...

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade.  I may be reading this wrong, and if so you can let me know.  But if your implying that heterosis can be maintained by continued breeding of the same cross with itself-  I'll have to disagree.  You may eventually create a new breed.  But heterosis quickly...

I don't have anything constructive to add, but this really cracked me up and I am sad I missed it earlier....  I need an emoticon that is rolling on the ground laughing!  Texas?  Really?  Texas?  Yes when I travel through the lone star state, I think... man, if only all the cattle could look...

Since HSUS was mentioned: I always assume that everyone in the agricultural world understands that HSUS is not really an advocacy group for animal care.  They have great commercials with really sad faces and really sad music.  But they do not in any way support local humane societies or...

Debates are a good thing.  If everyone had the same thoughts and ideas, then there would be no need for this forum and knowledge in general would be stagnant.  We all will have different experiences,and it is beneficial for others to learn from each others successes or failures along with doing...

This is a heifer back in the summer I had and is representative of the color I got from BA x SH almost solid red.  I only have a handful for what its worth.  They are black with a slight red tint.  My understanding is that a roan x may give you a blue roan calf.  I haven't come across enough...

You should probably stop why you are only this far behind cowboy.  It only takes a couple of statements like this to then infer that if a company is only willing to hire an inferior saleman, they may only have an inferior product to sale.   ;)

I agree that it would depend on your location  Assuming your not in the deep south Short horn x Angus or Herford x Angus cow base crossed with Simm for continental influence of 25 to 50%.  I only have a couple of shorthorn x angus comming yearling heifers so far but like them as well as the...

I believe some of the listed plants are not necessarily toxic at all stages or at all times.  I haven't went back through the list, but like johnson grass/hay grazzer, it is very deadly with new growth just after being stressed.  Otherwise, cattle mow it down with no problems. I thought the...

Oak trees may vary on species as to toxicity.  In our location, what we call "black jacks" or scrub oak can be very toxic in the spring with the newly growing leaves and in the fall with the acorns.  Tannins are the culpret and can cause stomach and intestinal ulcers, and kidney failure.  In...

If you have a relationship with a large animal vet, they will sale the appropriate medication by the needed volume and you don't have to buy an entire bottle.  If you don't have one, you should get one.  There are a lot of helpful people on here and that is great, but sometimes you may get what...
