    Dead calf

    Thanks everyone. The vet got back with me today and after cutting him open it shows he died from trauma. So I will not be breeding her for fall borns anymore because, we are always flooded this time of year and have to confine the cow/calves. Going to bred for a spring born and if that calf dies...

    Dead calf

    I have a cow that just lost her second calf in a row. The vet office thinks she injured the calves but, I don't see it. Both calves were born healthy and got up and nursed right away. Then a couple days later both calves seemed to be injured because they did want to stand up and acted like their...

    no worries

    This is our No Worries calf we have. He is out of a Vegas cow and was around 80-85lbs, big bone, tons of hair, sound and has the best disposition ever. His color pattern surprised me.  Defiantly will be using No Worries again this year. This first pic is when he was a week old, second pic he was...

    Show Cattle Temperament Concerns

    As a parent of an 8 yr old the first question I ask when looking to buy a calf is about disposition. It does not matter how great the calf is if she can't handle it or is afraid of it. She is raising a No Worries steer this year and he has probably one of the best dispositions I have ever seen...

    Breeding Suggestions, Please

    Moto Moto looks like it could be an interesting breeding. What is frame size and I don't think I have ever seen a Galloway before but, how do they do in the heat. We live in south Florida and we love hair while we are showing but, I need something that eventually can be in the pasture producing...

    Breeding Suggestions, Please

    We are going to AI soon and I am at a lost on what to breed this heifer too. She is purebred shorthorn sired by Proud Star. She is moderate framed, big boned, sound, big bellied but, does not have the best tail head set and she gets knocked for not being very feminine. Other then that she does...

    Anyone around Fort Myers, FL

    We live near Ft. Myers but there's not a lot of show calf breeders in that area. Most are small breeders except for the commercial breeders. Next weekend is a big show in the Orlando area and most will be there. We always welcome visitors at our place but, we will be at the show and right now...

    art of photoshopping

    As a photographer and someone who knows photoshop well I see a lot of pictures of cattle that have been photoshopped. Some are real good but, there are some pictures that are so awful that it is ridiculous. Taking a picture at the right angle can make an okay calf look like a high dollar calf...

    Crazy color!

    She sold for $3800. Her coloring makes her look like a pinzgauer cross. Back in the day when we had a pinzgauer all the cross calves were marked exactly like that.

    Early Calving

    Thank you everyone! We live to far south for cold to be a factor but, I am going to talk to my vet about possibly being a hormone problem. Really hoping it was just a freak thing and that this time everything will go fine and I will have a healthy calf in April. Really excited about this one so...

    Early Calving

    We have a cow that is due April 17th with her 3rd calf. Her first calf came 6 weeks early and did not make it then the second time she had twins that came almost a month early. The twins despite being early and so small at birth they caught up have done really well. She is a good cow that we...

    Calf Question

    He is 3 1/2 months old. Thought about that maybe is wanting to nurse but I doubt he will take a bottle. Right now is not to keen on us even putting a halter on him, but I can give it a try.

    Calf Question

    I have a calf we recently weaned a little early due to his dam being a poor cow. The calf seems to be doing fine but, when he eats he takes a few bites of his feed then he chews on the plastic of the feeder then goes back and takes a few bites of feed and then back to chewing the plastic. This...
