I wouldn't have known this a week ago but check to see if the breakaway is still straight and the plate your arms sit on.
Mine didn't breakawy and bent several things and that was the symptom.
I don't think cidars will tighten them up but the shot does.
If I had an older bull I run him with up to 20 heifers figuring he could average 3 a day. Yearlings were 10-12 heifers.
I think it would be best not to give the shot. That should spread them out over 5 days instead of 2.
I haven't done it with cidars but I did it a few times with MGA. What I learned is make sure they are split with only 1 bull. Injuries will happen if you have more than 1. I used older bulls for...
Grazing year round would work in a couple ways only. Either you have your place paid for or have a full time job in town where you don't have time to manage your cattle.
My single biggest line item expense is land payments. I am overstocked and will be for at least as long as I am paying for...
Not sure about you H but I was in High School in 1984 and people were talking about the book. Some thought George Orwell to be a modern day prophet. Little did they know that the big brother they were so scared of would come from the grassroots of their grandchildren demanding someone to look...
You guys don't sound like you are preparing for a drought. I ain't either but I hadn't heard them sayings.
I heard "always have 2 years hay on hand so count your bales and feed 1/2"
There was a year that was exceptional and I was understocked. I put up 10 ton per cow and never sold a bale. My...
Keith Carmichael is a good guy and honest as they get. He has good cattle. I have bought from him before. I also sell bulls, mine sell in Philip Feb 11.
In my opinion if you are looking for females the L1 is hard to beat. If you want to talk about bloodlines (605) 859-3538
I will add this...
I took them off yesterday. I weighted him as a yearling and must have got them off too quick as they really only went to straight. I put them back on in September. His would be too far if he was a yearling but now he is about right in my book.
Thanks for the comments.
I only got 11 but the reason we did so good is obvious. Ranchers who have embraced the computer technology are obviously the best and brightest. Maybe they should send us to Washington.
I douby they would belive the real facts if they were told. I am sure some of them are just trolling anyway. I have quit reading comments with any story just because there is always somebody who is just trying to get under somebodys skin.
You can't win a battle of the minds with an unarmed...
