    Calving heifers

    We had a friend, (now deceased) who we called a great cowman. He lived in tough country and never overgrazed. He ran sheep and cattle; specifically Horned Hereford cattle for years. He maintained that if you breed the horns off a Hereford you take their brain away.

    Calving heifers

    Neighbor down the road in SW Mt had White Park, they looked nothing like these. They were blocky and they couldn't sell the calves.

    Calving heifers

    Ben Lawson of Fablous Females said on genetics "one like the sire, one like the dam, and one in the middle." That's why it takes years of dedication to get the cattle you want. He's also Bovagene. I looked it up and it's interesting. https://www.bovagene.com/

    Calving heifers

    Back in the 60's, early 70's we leased from a Hereford based owner. So we ran Herefords. The first black bulls we bought to breed them to caused us to have several cesareans in those heifers. There was no EPD's or much of a history on those cattle. We hadn't had any c-sections on the Hereford...

    Calving heifers

    I don't know about that, but once you get heavy BW in your cows, it's hard to get it back out regardless of what bull you use. When we looked for heifer bulls a good Angus breeder taught me to look back through the bloodlines to see what the birth weights were and that really helped. Don't just...

    Ranching! Is it a living or a dying?

    My old boss always said the 2 most important things in life (the Lord first and foremost, of course) is who you marry and what you do. I've found that to be true.

    Price of fuel

    Do I understand you right? $144 per liter, 4.4 liters in a gallon. WHEW! That's so much I can't comprehend it. I'm sure I am misreading something.

    There is money being made in the beef cattle profession

    In general ranchers/farmers are their own best customer. Wish I could help you out but we just kept our nose to the grindstone...for 50 years. A good ranching friend has a we;; repair and tenching business. Again, other ranchers are his best customers. But he can help people and that keeps him...
