Saw this ad on craislist. Embryo calf by a bull Roan Goose. $1000
Couldn't figure out how to attach the pictures. I don't know anything about shorthorns but thought he was pretty nice someone on here might be looking for a calf.
You are probably right. Or maybe they are illegal. Only so many people would be skilled enough to cut up a beef in the dark. Maybe they cut themselves and have lockjaw by now.
This story was on the local news in Lexington Ky last night. Evidently a teenage girls 3 month old calf came up missing. Her father found it on a neighboring farm and it had been butchered for meat right there in the field. The father was saying it was someone who knew what they were doing by...
We have only used donkeys for breaking colts to lead. We start them out in the stall together off and on a couple of times. First time we neck them is in the stall. After that they go into to indoor rIiding arena or the outside riding pen. The main thing to be careful of is don't leave any...
Yes, that is what he is doing. I will keep a watch on what is going on down there. Might save us alot of the "learning curve" since we know nothing at all. I think I will ask him if my heifers "accidentally" get out, which pasture would it be best for them to get into over there. lol
That is along the lines of what I was thinking. The bulls that I see, that I really like are Simmental or SimAngus with white on them. I think crossing back on that type of bull with the Angus/Herford baldies would be just the type of cattle we eventually want to produce. A month or so ago I...
Thanks for the info. Good information. I would definitely prefer doing things the easy way vs the hard way. The thing I have found interesting is a couple of the neighbors used Hereford clean up bulls after they AI'd the Angus. They said the real reason we so the clean up calves would be easy...
Thank you. That is probably how we will go, considering there is a good selection of those type of cows/heifers here locally. Do you think they need to be straight Angus in particular? Every once in a while you see a hefier adversited locally this was a county fair type show calf that is at...
Thank you. Yes, we are trying to figure out where to build some sort of handling area. We have big run in sheds in the fields but not in handy places to get a trailer in and out. I think we will get a couple of our cattle neighbors to come over and look around. They will probably be able to...
We are going to split a bull with a friend who has 6-7 cows so we would only have him 1/2 the time. He would prefer Hereford because his cows are not too nice to be around. If he gets too rambunctious we can put him in a double fenced paddock and hot wire it if need be. Could put a donkey in...
