    HAY FIELDS ARE LOOKIN FAIR

    Lilly, every year we will shear out the entire cow hers (350 hd), head and entire body. Here is what the shearing crew does, it takes them about 5 minutes a head. Take a halter and cinch it down as tight as you can in your hans then put it in there mouth, make sure that it lays under their...

    Question for Angus folks

    FH, I personally know the owners of both bulls, and the GAR bull was designed to sire functional real world cattle, and the BC bull was bred to sire show calves. We have several Expectation cattle and are very pleased with the style and preformance. In my opinion the quote that he will add...

    Hunting

    I am a little late checking in on this post, however I have had great luck with my 7 mag. It is big enough to bring anything down and fairly comfratable to shoot. I am only 5' 8" and weigh 155, yet the gun does not affect the smoothness of the trigger pull. Hey NR I may have the...

    How young?

    At three months all of our calves get 1 round of Ultrachoice 7 and Bovi-Shield Gold 5, then 2 weeks preweaning they recieve Bovi-Shield Gold 5, One Shot, Ultrabac 7/Somubac, Spirovac 3. Be careful that you do not exceede 3 gram negative vaccines at once. This has worked extremely well for us.

    Soapweed, they all look like they would work well, however I really like the "Bull in a Blur". Is he one of the Lead On sons? Looks like he has to much rearend and dimension to be an 878.

    Time to vent, once again!!!

    ACS, it may seem that life is to be better when you are older, however when you have an "atta-boy" that is what is expected and when you have an "OH *%[email protected]" there are real consequenses to pay as opposed to a lecture. Enjoy every minute that you can because you can never go back. Don't let people...

    Kit Pharo's sale

    gbr I have not seen your bull, so I am not talking about your situation. It seems to me on bulls that we are not sure if they will ever make it or not, and add that one sentence"retaning 1/3 semn intrest", ther is always someone out ther that think's he is the next all star and pay twice what...

    Pharo Cattle Company Bulls

    Just spent an hour reading the mind numbing dribble on the Pharo Cattle Co website. I personally don't understand how he would be able to give away, let alone sell those bulls. I fully believe that a five or six framed cow will raise a bigger calf that is just as efficant as a three or four...

    Angus Heifers

    Good call Hay Maker! George, we like ours to weigh 1000-1100 before we breed them at around 13 -14 months old. Having said that I would feel pretty comfratable with breeding an 800 pound heifer if you were going to feed her a little along the way prior to calving.

    Felt hats

    This is proably going to be a dumb question, but how can a custom made 100x would be cheaper than a manufactured hat. I believe that paid around $400 for a Resistol Black Gold (20X), and if I read correctly you can buy a 100X custom hat for 100 cheaper.

    Felt hats

    The best hat I have owned in the last five years is a Resistol Black Gold. It seems to fit better than anything, and is real easy to clean.

    CALF WONT NURSE BOTTLE

    This has worked for me. Tube him with a bottle of powdered colostrum. Wait around 6 hours and then go back with colostrum in a bottle with a nipple. Take a pocket knife and enlarge the hole in the nipple, so that when you turn the bottle upside down the milk flows out. Once a little milk...

    Debt paid

    Just got in and the themometer says 37 with a brisk wind and rain blowing. We spent the day slick shearing sale cattle and they were thinking we had lost our minds.

    Angus Bull?

    1407 x Midland x 6I6. He is a very good bull, but not one that is an all-star. I bet in 6 months he has dropped off the radar screen.
