I put a couple of bids on that 11,000 dollar bull to but he got out of my price range pretty quick. I was also wondering if he was a genetic fluke and how true to his body type that he would produce. Thank goodness for semen sales :D Keep the conversation going cause I like to learn new things...

We usually get 3 to 4 feet of snow in my area. We've grazed corn for 7 years and have dabbled with swath grazing to a small extent. Grazing corn was a cheap source of feed. We quit using fertilzer after the 4th year because the cows had put enough back into the land that it wasn't necessary. The...

Big Swede, you are exactly right in my opinion.I know that Pure Country and I are already on the same page in our thinking. It took me awhile to get my head around this and am still learning. I just want to say that bale grazing has been the biggest soil and subsequent grass improver that we...

Rod, this winter will be our 5th year for bale grazing. Wish I had started doing it a lot sooner. The grass growth is phenomenal. We grazed corn for 9 years before that and have dabbled around with a bit of swath grazing.I keep on being asked about how much waste there is and I really don't...

Was just at a 2 day seminar with Todd as the main speaker. He's the real deal. Probably one of the best if not "the" best speaker I've ever had the privilege of listening and talking to. Knows the right type of cattle to use for grass finished, good eating quality beef,the grasses, building soil...

Does he have enough hair for minus 40? Disposition?Udder quality ?

Do you Hereford guys have websites?

Is that 1" of backfat put on with grass or grain?

The girls played well and came through in the crunch.

Wish I could argue or discuss.... with you NR, but I can't. Like the hockey analogy. Do a topic now on implants or the use of rubber bands when castrating. A hockey analogy could be used for both to. Especially the rubber bands(thinking of the pro hockey players wives).lol.
