My brother clipped bulls for a long time Hereford breeder a long time ago when EPD's were just starting to become accepted. One time the Hereford breeder was asked if his cattle had EPD's. He replied "Naw, we vaccinated for them years ago". :D In our herd we don't even look at EPD's when...

I have seen a home made nifty feed dispenser made from a combine tire.

Docility is one of the traits that shorthorns excel in.

I you are looking for low maintenance, easy fleshing cattle I think you will be happy with bulls from Ralph.

If you decide to use a shorthorn bull, make sure that you find a shorthorn breeder that is breeding cattle with the commercial cattleman in mind. I have been told that commercially minded shorthorn breeders are hard to find, but we are out there if you look for us. Unfortunately some people...

thanks

Valley Vet is who I tried, but they won't ship it to Canada. I will give Amazon a try. Thanks how much of the 9 oz. bottle do you use per calf?

Hey Silver; Where did you get it from? Did they ship it directly to you or did you have to get a friend to bring it up for you? I would be interested in trying some, but the place I contacted said that they could not send it to Canada.

My wife is on Facebook. I am not. She came across this post a few days ago (It had a few pictures with it). It is from 2015 by someone named Dusty Hahn. I thought is was well written. I will copy and paste it below. Dear #Subway, #Chipotle, and all #safefood advocates, This is a steer...

If I have almost made you want to buy a shorthorn then maybe the two links below will push you over the edge. :D http://www.saskvalleyshorthorns.com/bullsale.html https://www.youtube.com/user/whosyourdaddybull

Really good looking bulls. As for EPD's, we raise purebred cattle and we don't even look at EPD's when selecting herd sires. I feel that our industry is training the next generation of cattlemen to be very good at looking at numbers (and in some cases good at manipulating numbers), and not as...

I have 3 comments. First; don't ever be afraid to ask lots of questions from the person you are buying bulls from. If you don't like the answers or you don't trust the person, then don't buy bulls from them. You decide where you spend your money. Second; personally I don't put any faith in...

Bull buyers should be willing (and encouraged) to ask specific questions about how a pen of bulls have been fed (managed) during their lifetime. As a seller of bulls I welcome anyone's questions about our bulls. We only sell 2 year old bulls. We calve in May. We usually wean in November. Our...

I have seen these cake feeders homemade from old combine tires with plywood to cover the opening in the middle of the tire and a hole cut on the circumference for the cake to come out every revolution.

We are about 1.5 hours south of Paddockwood. Our land may be very different than that at Paddockwood. It all depends on the quality of the land and how much bush there is on the land. Around our place the quality of ground can change dramaticly in a span of only 5 miles. Around Paddockwood...
