    Cattle mutilations, ufo's ?

    I really think it has something to do with the military(government)? We've seen those helicopters when it's happened at our place most of the time. I don't think that is just coincidence.

    Cattle mutilations, ufo's ?

    We've known of three of our stock mutilated the past 4 yrs. One was a 4 month old bull calf, sex organs a brand removed, tongue, etc. He was about 250 yds. from a road that is used some. Had an older cow found by an elk hunter at the head of a really rough canyon that you can't hardly reach by...

    Breeding heifers

    I've been renting some of my cleanup hfr. bulls to Big Swede for a few years, since I pull mine the first part of July, and he doesn't turn out until around the tenth to fifteenth of that month. They've worked fairly hard in my situation before Big Swede uses them. I've been sending him a few...

    Bull Lease

    Jorgensen's leased yearlings for $1400 and two's and up for $1700 this past spring. I know they're not going to have to invest quite as much this fall to get their bull calves so that might come down a little this next spring for yearlings, but not sure. They already had a pretty high purchase...

    Vermeer head scratcher

    I've had this same argument with the Zoetis reps. about their discounts. If you sign up, and purchase $5,000 of their products in a year you get a pretty substantial discount. Work great for me, but I also asked about the smaller producers who don't need that much vaccine, etc. Doesn't seem...

    bulls

    It's a shame FH, that the bull you bought wasn't an 033. We bought Ideal 5201 of 033 076 in 1997 and he's the bull that laid the foundation for our entire cowherd as well as Big Swede's along with countless others. When you look at his epd's now I don't think they did him justice. Jorgensen's...

    bulls

    If your looking for lower framed cattle with more punch than Diamond D, Saddle Butte, or Ohlde you should check out Jorgensen Land and Cattle in South Dakota. They are really thick, and line bred so they will throw a real consistent crop of calves. They will gain weight on feed with the best...

    summer pet peeve

    My school aged kids are not to lazy to get out of bed. They get up at 5:45 every morning and do their milk cows and chores before leaving for school with their mother at 7:05 everyday. I'm just saying with the scholarships, and low interest loans that are available to my high school senior(who...

    summer pet peeve

    My wife's a school teacher and has never had a summer job. With Obamacare being implemented our family of 6 is now paying over $18,000 a year for health insurance. I hate to say it, but the school teachers might need the money more from those jobs than the high school and college kids do. It's...

    Sinclair Cattle Co

    Big brother, and nephew made it out and bought 4 bulls. Two for heifers that we'll AI some to. Lot 109 and Lot 151. Then bought a couple we'll use somewhere, just not sure where yet. Lot 44 and lot 163. Sale was up a little from last year, tried to buy #5 but finished second at 11,500 but we...

    Trip to California

    Did you ask Roy Macavoy how to pull off that hooded 4 iron shot he used to make the bird fly in the movie "Tin Cup"? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Sinclair Cattle Co

    I think Justin and WB misunderstood my response. I am happy with our Sinclair heifers, but I'm in no way totally satisfied with anything we've got. I was serious, if there are better all around angus bulls out there, with the consistency and maternal qualities that Sinclair's have, I would...

    Sinclair Cattle Co

    I've been following along on this subject just to see what the replies would be. We, like a lot of you, used EXT himself years ago with a lot of the same results as the rest of you, especially mothers beating up their calves. But we bought our first Sinclair bull in 2005, and have bought quite a...

    Bull question

    We've had a couple bulls through the years with an injury we thought was a broken front shoulder, and they eventually healed up well enough to breed cows for a few more years. I concluded afterwards, that maybe they had smashed a nerve in their front shoulder fighting, and in time they got the...

    Wanted: 2001-2004 Dodge pickup 4x4

    Quality Motors in Rapid City deals nothing but that age of Dodge truck, and a few Powerstroke Ford's. We've bought two this last year and he sells nothing but really well kept older trucks. It's definitely worth a look. Located on Deadwood Ave. just a few blocks past Rapid Chevy.

    cows with paralyzed tails

    We've had it happen a few times if the bull your breeding them to is quite a bit bigger than the cows. Normally they will be a bit paralyzed in their hind legs for a while as well. I don't know if your's were exposed to a big bull, but if they were, that might be what has happened.

    River Rat is elbow deep about now

    I believe that's what it's called with my game compared to the Big Swede's also. :( :(

    River Rat is elbow deep about now

    They were fed M.G.A. for fourteen days, then we waited 19 days and gave them Estrumate, and then when we A.I.ed them we gave Cysterlin which is a type of G.N.R.H. This is the first time that I've sychronized the whole group in a number of years, and the only reason we did it this year was lack...

    River Rat is elbow deep about now

    The crew from 2 to 4 technicians, and 4 others to help load straws and move heifers through completed our mission at 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon. We bred 200 heifers of our own, 92 of our heifers we sold to the feedlot operator, and 250 for a rancher and freind from Nebraska. We pulled heats and...
