My question is what would the market price be for a graft calf? they were 80-120 lbs roughly.  Or where could I find that...

    Cows' Vulva Expanding

    Welp learned something new. I have never had a problem with a cow that does this. I have never had to sew them up, or anything, they all calve out normal. So again, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it. But I am just some random dude on the internet. If you are really concerned about it call...

    Cows' Vulva Expanding

    Discussion: Who is the best Calving Ease bull?

    Bismark is okay if you are at lower altitudes. We have comrade, Irish, and Cedar ridge calves hitting the ground right now and we have had to help more heifers with Cedar Ridge. We are a Maine/angus cross commercial operation. Moving away from the Maine part though.

    What is your Vaccination Program

    During the summer when our cows are out on range we put out regular salt blocks and salt blocks that have minerals in them. Closer to calving and after calving we have a custom mineral lick that we feed the cows. Our soil has chemical binders that suck up on the copper and selenium. At birth...

    My uncle gets reds every now and again with his Maine x Angus herd and the guys from Superior don't sort them out so I was thinking of doing more red bulls. Although i wouldn't mind having some roanies. What are some good red SH bulls to cross with angus cows? I think I have found a few but...
