    Beast of Burden

    I was looking for some info on this bull, and was surprised nothing showed up when I entered his name in the search bar.  Anybody ever used him?  What are the calves like?  Any info appreciated.

    Feeding Full Tank

    We are planning on feeding Full Tank this year.  Wanting to keep them with that full look.  I have read through all the post on here that I could find on SP and google search.  Some had concerns about bloating, when to feed, and amounts.  Those who use it could you explain how you use it in...

    Zilmax and Optaflexx Photos

    My favorite animal is pretty much a Liger.  Its a cross between a lion and a tiger.  If there was a genetically modified Liger on steroids, that would be freaking awsome.

    Unstoppable and Maternal Perfection

    Anybody else?  I promise I won't ask if they are "cow changers" or "will he add power". More curious about frame.

    Unstoppable and Maternal Perfection

    Thanks for the response. I was starting to think I smelt weird or something.  What were your calves out of.

    Unstoppable and Maternal Perfection

    I was wondering what these bulls will do as far as frame score.  I have a few larger framed angus cows and wondered if these bulls would frame them down some. Thanks for any help.

    Sire Selection

    I am with AAOK on this.  If you want to produce consistently good calves you had better focus on your females.  I read way more than I post on this forum, but do not understand when somebody asks "is this bull a cow changer?"  If you want to buy a straw of semen to put in your cow that will...

    need advice- county fair sale rules

    What we do, and I think it is similar to your fair.  We have a bid on the floor price.  We call it support.  Feed yards usually take the steers.  Two of the local butchers team up on the pigs.  And I am not sure who takes the lambs.  When we sale people can take an animal as far above support as...

    Feeding potatoes.

    A while back some people suggested feeding two pounds of potatoes to help calves finish.  I did a search, but could not find if it meant 2 pounds per day or per feeding.  Does anyone here use potatoes?  Is there drawbacks?  How much do you feed?

    Angus Bulls for AI

    I really like Connealy Thunder.  We have only a few but they came small and are super calves.  Don't appologize for not knowing every topic that has been posted, it shows you have a life away from the computer.

    Calf Killed? Any ideas what type of animal?

    Domestic Dogs.  Killed for fun, didn't eat much, and went home to alpo.  See quite a bit of it around here.  Any tracks?

    trichomoniasis- will it be the end of the cattle industry?

    No actually the government has to step in when irresponsible , uneducated ranchers with the attitude above cause devastating problems for an entire area.  I am completely sure that you would be more than happy to pay for an complete loss of a calf crop for all of your neighbors when you trich...

    trichomoniasis- will it be the end of the cattle industry?

    Wow I am completely shocked how loose regulaions across the country are.  Here in Utah, every bull of breeding age must be tested and tagged with a trich negative tag every year.  It is an additional cost to test all of the bulls each spring, but well worth it.

    Select Sires Beef Line-Up

    I have a comment on the Select Sires bull Hairy. Please note that I am not trying to trash the bull, it is only our experience. We used CIDRs and 10 units of Hairy. We settled 3 cows. This might be our fault, but we also settled 7 of 10 from Aftershock, and 3 of 4 from Open Bar. Please draw your...

    "SCHOOL of HARD KNOCKS"...Contribute if U Can!

    When I was young, my father and I went to a guys house who had been trying to sell us bulls for quite a few years.  We got out of the truck and the guy said," these bulls have great numbers, come in the house and I will show them to you."  My dad responded, "we run cattle not numbers, how about...

    bad corn?

    The producer is grinding it fresh as he sells it.  But is the mold is on the corn as it's stored and then ground, should you be able to smell it in the feed?  I really doesn't smell like anything.  I am just baffeled by this?
