Aw, what a difference a couple months makes. Feeder futures up, corn down. What's everyones thoughts and plans now?

Had a neighbor bought 2 Irish Black bulls and turned out with Angus-Gelbvieh Replacement heifers a few years ago. Called me several times during calving season to help pull calves. The bulls were gone before the next breeding season came around. I'm sure there are hard calvers and easy calvers...

We AI our replacement heifers and don't run any clean-up bulls. We sell the ones that don't stick as butcher beef. We charge $3.25 a pound hanging weight. That price includes us scheduling at the butcher plant, taking them in, and delivering them to the customer's freezer when done. We pay...

Yep :) Not too bad of chute. Just need a cutting torch to make a few adjustments and then everything will be good! :wink:

Thanks for the compliments. H and BMR, I never turn down help! Brenda did a fine job preparing the noon meal and it was very much appreciated. We have to feed the help well so they will come back next year! Soap when I was younger we used to wrestle the calves all the time. As each year...

Good help, good cattle, and the grass is growing. What more could you ask for? It's days like this that I know we have the best job in the world! Good to see Syb, tell her hi for us. RBT

We got our three new bulls delivered last week and so far think they look ok. :) Sure do hope everyone is having a good calving season. We're thankful that ours is winding down without too many hiccups throughout. We did have to bring in a cow a few nights ago to give a little...

Haven't taken time to post calving pix yet this year so picked out a few to share with you all. Several miscellaneous others included :) this baby's got milk! getting a jug of baby boost after a really cold night our daughters calf replacement heifers at the dinner table trailing...

Congratulations, It sounds like they weighed up and sold well! RBT

katrina, other than your trucking woes, how did the calves do? RBT

Looks like the neighbor's bull threw some pretty nice calves! Probably not what ya wanted to hear, but i'll bet they weigh up good come fall. RBT

Big Swede, I was raised hearing the same thing. RBT

I was just curious. What does everyone figure it costs to feed a cow year round? I figure if I can run one for a buck a day on average I have done a pretty good job on feed costs. RBT

thanks for the pictures Whitewing. How big do your hogs get before you market them, and what are they worth then? RBT

Nice calves randi. Did #40 calve unassisted? RBT

Those are some pretty good calves you can be proud of. I,m like BMR, what's the breeding of your bull calf? RBT

Nice pictures! If you don't my asking, what does it cost to have the blood test done? RBT

It's been a long time BMR, but we have had excellent moisture all summer and the same so far this fall. I haven't seen this country look this good for a long time! Our cows and heifers will run on cornstalks this winter. There is usually some corn left in the fields after they get done...
