I weaned my handful of calves on Monday and was pleased.  My March steers averaged 652 lbs and the March heifers averaged 586 lbs.  All but one of them weaned off over 52% of their mother's weight including first calf heifers!  YAY!!!

Here's a few pasture pics I took the other night.  Enjoy.....

Here's a couple pictures of some calves I've got running around here.  I'd be interested in marketing them, but not even sure how to price them.  Any thoughts you would have on these calves and how to price them (you can pm me if you want) would be appreciated.  The pictures aren't the best as...

Had a good friend looking after my cows for me while we were in Colorado and my cows had to stay behind.  When he AI'd his heifers he did mine as well and she was bred to OCC Homer.  I bought the heifer at the side of her mother, she is a fall calf that I turned spring calving.  So, she's 2 1/2...

About 2 1/2 weeks ago, my one year old neice came to stay with us for a while.  Her mother is in Iraq and her daddy had to be gone for military training.  Let me tell you this aunt that has no kids is one worn out gal!  She is cute, but that temper is very evident with that red hair!!!!  Here's...

Just got word that Vance Uden of TC Ranch passed away last night.  My condolences go out to his family.  He was one of the greatest cattlemen I know.  He will surely be missed in the industry.

Just wanted to drop a congrats to M Bar!  M Bar Castlerock was senior bull calf champion!  I saw the bull Saturday and he was pretty nice!!  For a shorty :)  JK, way to go!!!  (thumbsup)

Feel free to share your stories, here's mine. I took a new ranch job in Colorado and due to the elevation of 9,000 ft, I left my cows at home (1,000ft) until I was able to research their ability to survive.  Due to our extreme temperature variances right now, I thought it would be better to...

It's official, my fiance' and I have taken a ranch job at 8,800 ft elevation.  Going to leave my flatlander cows behind, and may try to take them next spring after they calve.  Does anybody have any advice for does and don'ts.  Has anybody had any luck taking cows from low elevation to high...

This is my four year old ranch horse.  Yes, he is rubbing against coyotes hanging in the tree.  We had to take them out of there because he was beating them up.  Had I asked him to go near them otherwise, I'm sure he'd tell me HECK NO!!

Living in this great country truly is a blessing.  Sure it has its problems, but on this 4th of July, I'm especially thankful.  There are doctors in Omaha, NE right now at 10:30 pm doing a kidney transplant on my father.  Dad is only 50 years old and his kidney's failed two years ago.  Thanks to...

I am considering a new job at 9,000 ft elevation.  I live in KS now and my cows are all flatlanders.  I'm worried that they won't survive there, and I'm wondering if anybody could share any info on brisket disease and testing for it.  How many cows from lower elevation usually can't handle the...

I am still in the dark a little when it comes to digital cameras.  I know they are the thing to have, and so many times I've wished I've had one so that I didn't have to make that trip to walmart to get film developed, if I remember to take it along!  My question is, what camera do you guys...

I'm looking for some information on some older bulls.  Not looking to buy semen, but have genetics that run to them.  Boss has embryos to be put in by some of these bulls and I'm just wanting to see what I'm in for.  I would like to see some pictures of the bulls.  I've done some internet...
