I just switched to Vigortone mineral. I like it and the cows LOVE it. They were on high quality mineral tubs (Orwigs) and also some other loose mineral. They also have free choice salt. They are absolutely over consuming the Vigortone and I could see high consumption if they previously...

Anybody heard how the sale went on Saturday for Schaff Angus Valley? Just curious how high they sold again this year.

I heard he only has one testical and it was known before he sold. I was wondering if this was true or if anybody had the real facts. This was their top seller in this years sale, Genex and a group of others bought him. If it is true he must be a phenomenal bull!

As I have been following the thread Select Sires and in out past discussions about bulls. I have been doing some pondering. In the past we tried to keep our EPD numbers high but not excessive. We never bought a bull with a milk epd higher than average ( for angus say 22 mepd). Now it seems...

It almost boggles the mind. This report didn't say who bought what. Talked to someone who went and standing room only. Wasn't until almost the end of the day before a bull brought less than $5000. My hats off to the Schaff's :tiphat: Schaff Angus Valley At the Ranch, St. Anthony, ND...

I don't know if this the right spot for this but I was wanting to offer a little warning to fellow ranchers.net folks. Last Friday we got a virus on our computer stating it was from Microsoft Windows. It said it ran a scan of our computer and found all these bad things, virus, malware, etc...

Good afternoon, It is cold and blowing today so I am in the house getting ready for the dreaded tax appointment. But on a more positive note I got some new sheephearder's dog whistles in the mail. I have been practicing with them in the house and can get them to work but with no...

I can't believe we are being overtaken by playtex bra ads on ranchers. Oh well it goes to show they are our biggest "supporters" :lol2:

It's funny you can doctor calves with vaccine, pills, etc and there is no better doctor than old Mr. Sun. Now if only we could get more than two days of it in a row. Sounds like this week is finally going to be more spring like. Yea for the sun! :D

Has anyone used the 14 Day CIDR program for AI. I am thinking of AI'ing my first calf heifers for the first time and I am trying to decide between the 7 day or 14 day protocols. I read that conception is much better with 14d but it is also another trip up the chute. Any input would be...

I have a two week old calf on a first calf heifer that is staggering around like a drunk sailor. We have had crappy wet, snowy, 20-30 degree, and windy weather since last Thursday. He has been out in it with all the other pairs but is the only one acting sick. Brought him in this morning and...

......the good lord desinged it so when a blizzard hits that is when everything wants to calve. Seem like it would have been better to make it so a warm, high weather front kicked them into action! Oh well maybe a smarter person would pick a time to calve when it wasn't freezing and snowing...

I was just wondering what Superior charged for a commision when you sell livestock thru them. Also are there and other fees other than the commision. How about is there a fee if you decided to "No Sale" them. Thanx Howdy

I got a mailer in the mail from Schaff Angus VAlley and it had pictures of this years calf crop. WOW! My wife walked by and looked down and said "Why is that mature bull sucking that cow?" I said those are 2010 spring bull calves. She stopped and looked twice before she believed me. It made...

Well yesterday the weather was just beautiful here in SoDak. Then this morning, raining again and SURPRISE SURPRISE THE WIND IS BLOWING AGIAN!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I think you get my point. Anyway I guess you have to get the bad days to really enjoy the good...

I am new to the bull session so I don't know if you have covered this topic but.... I bought some heifers that were AI'd to the ABS stud, Image Maker (angus). The calves came easy and are growing really well. I am concerned if anybody has kept his daughters and how were their dispositions...
