    I have seen a list of feed lots by state. Just google Texas feedlots

    That buckskin is the neighbor's go to horse. I believe that is him on the far end of the line tied to the fence. The yellow horse tied to the fence is a real good horse. That is not the yellow horse in the 4th picture who is also the real deal. The smaller horse who is first in line is a...

    Branding photos

    These are pictures from past years brandings. The first 2 picture is from last year at my place in '21. The third one is some horses getting a break while others are busy roping. And then a stretched out calf who is getting his mind changed. Both of those pictures are from a neighbors...

    The only sweet talking done around here is toward the wife. And she will testify that it is too far between those incidences. I might talk nice to the dog once in a while and she is real happy to get any positive comments.

    Branding photos

    I don't have a cell phone as there is no reception here. The camera is an Olympus Stylus which I bought in 2009. When I had to get a new computer in September Windows 11 had a difficult time reading the camera. Maybe because there was over 2,000 pictures on it. Got a new memory card for the...

    Microsoft did an update to the computer a couple weeks ago. Now my computer won't recognize the camera so I can't download pictures. Will have to see if I can get a computer guy to fix the problem. This has not been a good year for me and computers.

    I wish we had those flat open green pastures. We are probably only 4 weeks or so to the start of branding season. I generally go to 8 - 10 brandings every spring. They are pretty big community gatherings here.

    Sold the calves.

    We had plenty of grass in the spring. Then it turned off hot and it all turned brown. After lightning struck it all turned black. Now I am wondering if we will have any grass at all this spring.

    Sold the calves.

    I think I started the bidding on them. But I quit when they got to $1900. I did that a lot on Wednesday. You had to have a wallet full to play that day. I got to sneak out with three cows that sold late as singles.

    Please lock your trailer gates when hauling cattle

    I just ran to the post office. It is 5 miles to there. I saw cows standing beside the road in 3 different places. About a dozen cows total. Like I said here the cops here would just drive by them like everyone else. Now the interstate is a different deal. One gets on there and everyone...

    Please lock your trailer gates when hauling cattle

    Amazing the cops have that one tied down. A lot of cops would just shoot it. And here where it is all open range they would just leave it alone.

    Baldy bull market?

    Location would make a difference. No market for cross bred bulls here.

    Weaned and worked the tailenders

    I do understand that there are lots of variables involved. In the the case with our one and done cows the landowner wants all the cows gone by September 1. So about mid August they get gathered and the old cows get a trip to the plant. By mid October the cow price will drop every year. And...

    Weaned and worked the tailenders

    Good moisture and a great grass years certainly has a lot to do with the weaning weights. But the extra time on the cow helps a lot too. I had one pair escape this year. They were caught by a neighbor 6 weeks after the rest of the cows were shipped and calves weaned. He turned into the...

    Stack yard full

    Mine aren't tarped and neither is anyone else here. The top bale will be a pain to feed once it gets frozen this winter.

    Bovine bibliography

    As good as those heifers look and as much as you might like them this is not the time to keep heifers. A heifer kept during the high price part of the cattle cycle. Usually 10-11 years, will never be as profitable as one kept in the low price part of the cycle. Example, a 600lb calf kept this...
