    Best New Double Blower Unit

    We bought a Boxel a couple of months ago and it's fantastic.  It's our first double blower though, so nothing to compare it to.

    We just bought one of their double blowers and love it so far!  Tons of power.

    Feed question

    My ADM rep told me they are the same feed. He just mainly sold the textured because show cattle folks wanted to be able to see whats in their feed.  ;)  He said the benefit to the pellet was being able to store it longer.

    How to stop steer from throwing his head around when set up

    One of the kids I haul around to shows had a heifer start doing that this summer.  I called it "playing a game". She would sling her head, but not move her feet, and the kid would lead her out and circle her back in to line up.  Finally decided the heifer was just trying to get her to move her...

    SAC Conversation

    I have been using Conversation.  Before they changed the Angus EPDs, his CE was plenty high to comfortably breed to heifers.  I'm still breeding heifers to him.  I don't think I've had a calf bigger than 80 lbs sired by him (including one 55 lb. and two 60 lb. calves).

    Ok one more to ask opinions of :-) Angus this time

    I guess, for me, it would depend on what his goals are for his herd.  If he's looking for performance type cattle, I'd probably pass.  If he's looking to raise show calves, she would be worth a shot.

    Silveiras style is he heifer safe?

    3 heifers and 1 bull. Unfortunately lost one of the heifers though due to a freak injury.  The restof the calves are growing good and both heifers have a super good look to them.

    Silveiras style is he heifer safe?

    Give SAC Conversation a look.  I've had 4 calves sired by him this fall and none over 72 lbs.  He has good numbers and I'm really happy with my calves.  Saw some good one sired by him in KC a few weeks ago too.

    Heifer crab walls

    Make sure she stops moving before you turn her around to reset her.  Sometimes I think they just do it to keep from having to stand still. (she moves...you walk her and set her up again...she moves...you walk her...etc.)  For me, alot of times if you make them stop and stand still just for a...

    Dad bought a steer calf from the sale barn HELP!

    Check his temp.  He's probably fine.  It's not uncommon for a little fat to protrude from the scrotum after a calf has been castrated.

    Calf color

    I use a shorthorn bull on my commercial Angus cows.  Any calf we've had born colored like this has turned black.
