thinking of selling everythin over 4 but a few really good ones. I can swap to heifer for $200 and save some feed.

How much does it cost you to winter a dry cow? I have some extra feed and am going to be looking to take in some extra cows for the winter. When i figure in everything it takes to winter a cow I need about 1.75 a day. We have some fall grazing on pasture and cornstalks that will lower the...

Reading the coments on here is proof the the Angus guys have done so much better job of marketing than anyone else. The folks on ranchers.net are way more in the know than the average person and we still don't know what CAB really is. People see Angus in the name and think CAB. There are many...

Wow Katrina I am pretty sure you just had a thread about being pissed at someone for selling a tractor to someone else B4 Roscoe showed up with the money.

It can be in the gentics of the cow. I have a friend that bought some hefiers and all the heifers out of one bull tried to kill the calf. He took the calves away at birth and gave the heifers a shot of ACE and put the calves back in a couple hours. I don't know if he had problems after the...

I know of some guys that bought heifers for 500lb steer price. Steers were 1.20 a LB and the heifers weighed 1000 lbs they were 1200$.

I have a neighbor like that. Can't wait for him to go broke.

Are the black heifers in your area as good as the red angus heifers? And where are most of the heifers going too?

Those cattle don't look good but they look better than I was thinking they would from your description. They need to be fed better, and made sure that they are getting enough water.

Depending where the break is at you have a couple options. You can try splinting the leg, lock it in a small pen and let time do the work, or if the bone is sticking out and it is a low break you could band the bottom part off and keep the calf in a small pen and eat him after it heals up.

This is the first sale I have missed in 11 years. I started buying bulls there when I was 15. I hope they had a great sale.

I would calve out a lot of heifers for those prices. Make some money on the feed and pay for a nice calving barn at the same time.

If you take the bull to a collection stud the cost will be much less. The last bull I had collected we hauled him down they collected him and I hualed him home the same day. I got 287 straws and It cost alittle over 300 bucks.

I have spent as much as 7500 on a bull and as little as 1300. I made more money on the 1300 dollar bull as he would breed everything in sight and out lasted the more expensive bulls. The best bulls i have ever used were my homeraised bulls.

Red Angus cows and a good char bull. The yellow calves will appear more even than the smokies.

Wow jingo you must have a very hard time picking out good bulls if you ended up with all those problems. There are very good char breeders out there, and they aren't breeding them like the old french char bulls. I would look for bulls that have alot of LT breeding in them.

I had a group of 30 heifers that calved this spring and brought in 28 calves and we didn't do anything to help any of them. Just left it to mother nature.

They had alot more than 21 quarters. They own ground close to me and I know they rented out more of there ground than they farmed in the last 15 years. I have been told that they were bankrupt in the early 80's and had all there bins full of grain that no one knew about. They then started...

this winter it Should cost me 98 cents a day for a cornstalk and wet distillers grain ration. So about a 1.25 by the time you figure in fuel and equipment and all the little things that go with it. In the summer I have pastures that cost me 65 cents and some that cost 1.25. But we also get...

I have a 42X100 hoop barn and the year after we put it up we had 70-90 MPH straight winds. It bent the pipes in the north door, basically ruined it, but the building itself is in great shape yet. I would like a portable shed but I can't imagine what a shed that big would cost. I can have 17...
