I would lay off the beet pulp keep her full but don't over feed. Is she bred to a calving ease bull?

I guess I should tell you my favorite would probably be the angus Hereford crosses

Hi all so we have been breeding replacement heifers for a few years now. And I thought I would ask all of you what your favorite breed is and why. Right now we are running a few different breeds. I have a few straight angus a few straight simmental. Some sim X angus and some angus X Hereford...

I agree with all the other posts above that you need to get established. I have not sold any bulls but I do sell a lot of replacement heifers and the first few years were kinda rough like said above. But now I have people calling all year long some repeat customers and a lot of word of mouth. I...

Well I made up my mind last night. Went out to bring her in and milk her and all but one quarter was sucked down. So gave her one more day and she is all sucked down this morning. Thanks all for your help

She is not the easiest to get in but not the worst either. Tomorrow I will get her in and milk her out. I would rather be safe then sorry. Thank you guys for the help

Hi all we had a calf Monday and he seems to be doing good. Cow is always full of milk but I don't think he has touched the back teats she is super tight. Should I try milking her out in the back or just let nature take it course? Thanks

So we just bought a 8 month old bull calf. Going to take a gamble on him testing out in the spring. I have never bought a young bull. So my question is what is the best feed and grain for him. Thanks

Hi I am looking at a bull calf in Illinois and I live in Colorado. Does anybody know anyone that might be able to help me out I can travel  half way. I have never had anything hauled so I'm not even sure what the going rate is. Any help would be great thanks

Hi everyone. We just bought a new place and starting to get ideas for our pens and corrals. I know pipe fences are probably the best bet. But pipe is high and hard to come by around here and I'm not that great of welder Haha. So what does everybody think of old school wood corrals or any other...

If you run heavy and fast in hot weather I would go 14 ply. I have had trouble with 10 in the past but never any with 14.

Max brake is the best imo but they are expensive. It all depends on how heavy what kind of roads and how often you use it. But the ones you get at tractor supply or Walmart will work just not as smooth and take more adjusting

I would say she will be just fine.  I have hauled cows deeper bred than that and never had any problems I would rather not haul them but it always seem to work where we have to.

That's kinda what I thought I will go talk to our local lumber yard and see what they can order. I will also look into the plastic boards

So I need to replace the floor in my stock trailer. What is the best wood to use. There is no sawmills close to me so I am kinda limited. Would just 2x10's work from homedepo.  I know a lot of people use oak or pine but I'm having a hard time finding it

Great thank you guys for the input they look pretty good to me of course light boned but very classy and yes I do try to raise a few show calves but I also raise sale barn calves. im still just getting started. I will be headed over tomorrow to look at them again and also there papers

If this is her first calf I would stay away from firewater my family had two hard pulls from big cows

Hi everybody so I found a few Lim-Flex heifers and went and looked at them and I kinda liked the looks of them. Just wondering  if anybody knows much about them. I would probably cross them with maine or sim bulls.      thank you

So we had a heifer calf last night the calf didn't get up so we finally got her up but she wouldn't keep her backlegs under her so we milked the cow and bottle fed her and today she gets up but is still pretty shaky but is slowly getting around but wont put much weight on her left leg and it...

I will use him on cows 3 to 5 years old I run my heifers with a bull my family has but I still don't want something that will throw really big calves
