    Anyone have any experience with the Simmental Bulls: Rushmore, Bombardier

    Both are ABS bulls.  Still looking for Red Outcrosses.  Rushmore is pretty young so I am guessing not much there.

    Any thoughts on Red Simmental Bulls out there

    Would prefer a Dream On Outcross. Other than the Gunner/ Top Gun lines are there any good onese out there?  Also what do you think of either Gunner or Top Gun calves? I of course like Mack but would prefer not to pay $200 on anything completely unproven at this point.

    Breed early or late.

    So I have a 4 year old cow that just came into standing heat literally 10 minutes ago.  (7:30 PM) Due to work tomorrow I can either breed her at 6 in the morning (not quite 12 hours), or 5 in the evening at the earliest. I have always been under the thought process of if I am going to error, I...

    Any thoughts on what might have done this (gruesome) ***Updated***

    This calf was born this morning.  At 6 am it was up and nursing.  Went to work.  I went out at 5 pm tonight to tag and weigh it and found this. Found nothing else.  No traces of blood or anything.  Just the bottom half of a calf.

    Any good place to order banners?

    We order our trophies for our local fair from a particular company.  Last year we asked them to do 3 banners for supreme champions and they came out pretty poor.  They have told us they probably won't be able to improve on that as it is not their specialty.  Not looking for anything super...

    Off Topic: Skid Steer Tires

    Just bought a used skidsteer that needs new tires.  I have been pricing tires for the last two days over the phone.  Is it possible to get by with 8 ply, or do they pretty much  have to be 12 ply?  Found a guy that has 8 ply tires of the same brand as another that has 12 ply at about $300 cheaper.

    Clipping unbroke calves

    What is the best method for clipping calves that are not yet halter broke.  I ask this because I see so many young calves on here that are clipped out and I have never tried to clip on one that I couldn't at least move a little on a halter. Do you use a grooming chute, or make due with a...

    Thoughts on lack of heat

    So I have asked many people this questions, and noone has really any solid answers for me. My dad has a small group of Angus cows.  Nice enough cows, they do what he wants them for.  For years he has had me or the brother in law AI them, then he turns the bull out on them pretty normal stuff...

    Any well (water) experts on here

    So my main water source for the cows is an old well on the property.  The well is right at 420 feet deep.  When we put the pump in the well the static line was right at 100 feet from the top. When we put the pump in we put well pipe down 220 feet.  (Why 220 feet I can't really remember). Over...

    Anyone have much experience with the 5.4L gas Ford Engine

    Looking at a low mile used 3/4 ton (2005).  I would prefer a 6.0 diesel but the saving of $6000 to $8000 would be a big plus to me. Just curious what everyone's opinion on it is specifically for pulling.  I don't pull near as many loads as most on here, but I don't want to have a complete dog...

    Simmental Bull - Beefmaker

    Just wanted some opinions around him.  I have never used him much, but might be interested on using him on some heifers.

    How many days do you wait between calving and breeding.

    I normally wait 45 days as a rule. I have a cow that calved 35 days ago, and was in heat this morning.  She had an unassisted uneventful heifer calf birth.  She is in great shape. I more than likely will run her through the chute this evening, but was just wondering what everyone else does.
