    Breed Identity

    I think too many breeds are trying to be everything to everybody and risk losing their Identity. In my thinking, it isn't bad to improve, but don't lose your Identity..... When you think of a breed, what comes to mind???? With Angus, moderate to small birthweight, Marbling, and Good Mothers...

    Pistol Whipping companies with good intentions

    I am really trying to stay out of this whole R-Calf/NCBA deal. However, I can't ignore a couple of threads where companies are getting pistol whipped for donating to a dinner. Give me a break. It is a $200 donation. Most of these companies focus is to develop products for the rancher and they...

    Bozeman on the 10th

    I will be in Bozeman on the 10th. I am always impressed with the way cattle look in Western Montana. Real shiny, some great grass that must have some good mineral in it. When I first traveled there, I thought the supplement salesman must be doing a goos job, then realized nowhere can a salesman...

    Kant Sucks

    Well, I tried these on some fall calving pairs. Took a bit to figure them out. Results are as follows- 30% of the calves had to be redone the next day. I took a pair of pliers and really tightened the wingnut. one of them lost the plastic ball on the nose part, so it wasn't operator error. 2...

    New Foal!

    Little Barred Mare I bought late last summer just foaled. Nice blondish sorrel foal (mare is way to "estrogenized to get close and check without a real fight, I'll pick my battles). It has a nice blaze down its face. I am downloading Kodakeasyshare so I can share some photo's. Foal's sire has...

    Irish BSE - especially a new "BARB" case -- downw

    Does anyone have an idea of the proportion of Dairy Cows found with BSE vs. Beef Cows? I always said the first US BSE cow would be a dairy cow. 2 Reasons. First was condition of cattle these guys in our area would still try to get sold and money from. Don't remember ever seeing downer Beef cows...

    Pull the Scab

    I read and think and read a lot. Had dinner with some freinds last night and it became painfully clear I was the most read person on the BSE issue there. I am so read that anyone can make a point and I can make a pretty good counter-point, lol. And I am definetly not as read on the issue as many...

    Choice cutout hits $1.51, Choice select spread back above $4

    Choice cutout really running off. Some is the border, but I think a lot to do with an annual event. On another forum, I have been stating we will see a decline in weights, finish and quality and a subsequent rise in prices. I think SH has actually mentioned Aril as being a consistently great...

    Agman, Any idea of # heifers coming into market??

    At the sale today, I realized a lot of heifers that either were open or lost calves are being marketed. These would not have been on any Cattle On Feed reports, probably will go on feed for 75 days or so and then be marketed. I seriously doubt any huge impact ion most years, but was curious what...

    Something to think about

    Stumbled accross this... Things that make you think a little........ 1. There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January..... In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war...

    Carcass weights and Choice Select Spread- what say you

    A lot of talk about how narrow the Choice select spread is. On the surface, a select 1 will pay higher per pound than a choice 3 on the grid. I think the talk misses a few incentives. CAB premiums were $6.00/cwt. of carcass last I looked. Something to shoot for. Prime was $10.00/cwt. of...

    616

    I've got some heifers I want to AI next month. All have great Pelvic Measurements, but they are heifers. I search and search, but keep coming back to Rito 616 as the bull of choice. He has low birth weight, decent growth and pretty good carcass traits. Guys I talk to that have used him say the...
