A friend posted this on facebook and I think so far it best illustrates the harmlessness of the lean, finely-textured beef. I encourage you to post it to your facebook profile too!

Check out this video of one of my goofy cows I posted to youtube. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onsFqH9q2oY&context=C3f6a0aeADOEgsToPDskIeIvPWRMyh8j36oNWkQr_S

As of when I got off the chopper 60 hogs and 8 coyotes were dead. There's still more acreage to cover this afternoon. http://www.youtube.com/user/lntom02?feature=mhee

He sure did have some super heifers sell this past fall. I'm toying with the thought of flushing him to one of my cows however I'm disappointed that his milk EPD is so low and I've already been using Upgrade. Has anyone seen calves or used him?

This is mainly directed at CAB because in past topics this protocol has been discussed and I went ahead and used it on my cows this year. Last year I used the 7 day protocol and had a 53% conception rate to the time AI, good but not great. So far we're right at the peak of repeats from the 5...

Which one doesn't belong? This axis doe wandered over from a neighbor's place and has been hanging out with our first calf heifers since September. We have all the cows up in the lot for AI and now she's hanging out in the pens with them.

I'm considering using it on a couple donors. Does anyone have experience with using IVF and what were your thoughts?

Rednecks hunting down feral hogs...what's not to like? http://www.txfb.org/TxAgTalks/post/2011/10/13/American-Hoggers-A-feral-hoge28099s-worst-nightmare.aspx I'm not usually a fan of reality TV, but I might have to make an exception!

Just out of curiosity, what is the longest you've had a cow go over her due date? I had two that calved right in between AI date and bull turn out. In the end I'll probably have to DNA the calves. The longest I know for sure is 13 days over.

http://www.youtube.com/embed/NA-ST8nXl4U?rel=0 I might try this method on my next group of heifers!

I noticed this cow missing yesterday morning. She was due to calve so I figured she had a good hiding spot. This morning I still couldn't find her so I scoured the pasture looking for her and found her in the trench. So I called in the Calvary and got her out! I'm very thankful she didn't go...

I raise SimAngus and Simbrah cattle in south Texas. Please check out our web site that has just been launched. Thanks for your time! www.tombrothersranch.com Ellen

Was looking through online listing of bulls at semen companies and saw that NLC Upgrade has been added to the Genex lineup. It took me by surprise. Anyone else know about this?

You may want to reconsider buying the Yellow Tail brand next time you are buying wine. They donated $100,000 to HSUS. http://www.humanesociety.org/about/corporate_sponsors/yellow_tail_.html Interesting that a company that suggests pairings of meat with their wines donates to an organization...

I just got finished with a late night rodeo that included a busted faucet and a near death experience for me, but all things aside I finally penned a cow I've been trying to catch for 2 months. Here's her background: She doesn't come from psycho parents, her dam is very calm and so was her...

I know I'm a day late, but in honor of Elvis's 75th birthday, what is your favorite Elvis song? Mine is Jailhouse Rock with Viva Las Vegas in a close second.

U009: SimAngus heifer sired by RAB-EGL Blue Moon. Perfect example of why I love SimAngus so much. U035: 3/4 Simmy 1/4 Brahman sired by Star Power. U052: Same percentage same sire W002: Commercial Simbrah heifer by In Dew Time. W006: Same percentage sired by WS Beef Maker R13

Last week we synchronized for AI and am curious what y'all do on here for those that didn't respond. I used CIDRs on my heifers and got 14/16, 2 more to go. I used Select Synch on cows and got about 60% to respond. Usually for non-responders we'll watch for natural heats and then give a shot...

Got a question for ya planeteers! Today I noticed there are two different CIDR protocols for beef heifers. One is Lutalyse shot on day 6 and pull out CIDR day 7, and the other is Lutalyse and pull out CIDR day 7. For the past couple years I've been using the first mentioned protocol with...

I usually order semen directly from the company (ABS, Genex, etc) but this year I decided to try ordering from my local rep. I placed my order Nov. 10 and haven't heard a peep from the guy and still waiting for shipment to show up. Am I just being impatient or should I be concerned? This past...
