Hi, I've been feeding a yearling angus heifer for show. Currently I'm giving her 10 pounds or so of purina beef mash with some soybean mixed in for the extra protein. I want to put some more cover on her, and I was just curious as to how to go about doing it. I was thinking of mixing either...

Hello everyone, I was hoping that I could get some advice. This is our first year raising and feeding a bull calf, so I was interested in what he should be getting nutrionally. He gets hay, and for the last while i've just been feeding him a beef mash thats only 13% protein. He's growing, but...

Thanks vcsf. And congratulations worthabit, good luck with the new bull.

Does anybody know how the sale went? I meant to watch it but got busy fixing the water up on the farm. What was the average? And does anybody know what lots 3,5 and 6 went for? The  cattle looked good in the sale book.

Hi, does anybody know of any shorthorn sires that will make good show females, but still have good calving ease? Any advice would be welcome.

The judge has always told me that you should be enjoying yourself out in the ring. It shouldn't look like you don;t want to be there, so I would say a smile wouldn't hurt.

I hope she gets to feeling better!

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what you guys thought were some good (and fairly inexpensive) ways to start a little purebred herd.  Embryos? Good bred yearlings? Or Older cows towards the end of thier lives bred to good AI bulls? What are the pros and cons to each one? I know there are a lot...

Hi everyone, I had a question about embryo transplants. How does the whole process work? I've been thinking of buying some frozen ones in plugging them into a couple of cows, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to do, or how the process works. Could anyone help me?

Hi, I know that ring worm can be transmitted through halters and show combs, but is it possible that it also can be spread through the use of clippers? I only ask because I have read forums on here that say that Fluid Film is a good way to kill ring worm, so I was just wondering if the oil on...

We run a small cow calf operation with 25-30 commercial angus cross cows, with a couple show cows as a hobby. Were in Nova Scotia, and we all work off the farm.

Aside from that high tailhead, I really like her. It looks like she's standing on a good pair of legs. I hope she does well!

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the club calf industry, but I was just curious as to what cows produce the best clubies? Would a Hereford/shorthorn cross, or Angus/Hereford cross, or is it an Angus/Simmental cross that  makes a good club calf cow?  Thoughts, opinions and past experiences would...

That's a nice looking Bull, and thanks Steerboy, both those bulls are looking good too. I just found two other bulls I liked the look of. SHF PROGRESS P20, and EFBEEF SCHU-LAR PROFICIENT N093. Does anyone know what they throw for calves? Thanks in advance.

What about HUTH LAGRAND CLASS ACT, and Ribeye? They are both sires that caught my eye in the ABS book, does anybody have any calves off of them, or seen anything to recommend them? I'm from the maritimes, and I only know of ABS and SEMEX representatives in my area.

I was also wondering about any AI Hereford sires that people know about. I've been looking around and I can't really find too many in the ABS or SEMEX books. Does anybody know of any good ones? I would be using it on a couple first time calvers, and a couple old cows, which all have Remittal...

Her sire was a Remitall Keynote son. Her front end is pretty clean. She's a nice thick calf.
