I just want to ask all you pro-COOLies what do you think COOL is doing to the price of their cattle. I say it is going down, right along with Mexican and Canadian cattle prices. 600 lb feeder steers are selling for .60/lb on the Mexican border this past week. The order buyers say the prices...

I was wrong, looks like the usual cattle buyers are lining up at the border again. Ready and willing to contract Mexican feeder cattle. Turns out COOL will not have it's intended result after all. It has been decided by the MAJOR PACKERS to apply the Rule 2 interpretation of COOL which is box...

I hope all you COOL supporters are happy now we Mexicans and Canadians can't sell our feeder cattle to US feeders. What's the matter you don't like a little market competition? We'll have to see how you like it, after things get sorted out. Don't forget Mexico is or was the BIGGEST importer...

Just currius. What age and/criteria do you cull your cows and bulls. I'm located in some very mountainous area, very broken country and we need catlle that are strong and healthy and can travel well on the difficult terrain. Do you fertility test your bulls? I'm sure most cull cows are based...

The U.S won't alow any Mexican breeding stock into the US. But US producers want to sell boxed beef and live breeding cattle to Mexico. I'm a Mexican rancher that produces top quality cattle. But, I can only export my steers and spayed feeder heifers to the US. What's the matter? US...

Does anybody know the best way to clean a straw hat? How can you clean off the sweat stains from around the air holes in the crown? I got some good hats but they look terrible after just a couple of times sweating in them. Is there any way to keep them looking new?

The other day I found a calf doing the strangest thing. When I would walk up close to the calf, he would fall over stiff legged on his side, almost paralyzed for 30 seconds to a minute. Then slowly he would begin to collect himself and stand back up. If I began to walk toward him he would...

I'd like to share a annual event that happens every year in the small pueblo where I live. This is a favorite day of the children. All the children ride horses through the streets. They all dress up in their best western clothes and they ride all day and into the night, going where ever they...

I have 2 registered AQHA mares that foaled in 2003, one had a filly and one a stud colt. One of the mares is a grand-daughter to EasyJet and the other is a great-granddaughter. Both of the foals were sired by the same AQHA Foundation stud, thereby making them half-brother and half-sister...
