ok, for all you you non ranchers, here is a recap of my great day. Went out and loaded up a steer for Hanta this morning to take to the processor. Sent her on her way and went out to check on the heifers that are calving, this is about 8:30 when she left. Heifer calving, looked like trouble from...

TTB, the spring schedule isn't up yet but you can track it here http://www.collegerodeo.com/Rodeos/Event_Schedule.asp#Big%20Sky John is out of Afganistan and chilling out in Hawaii. Next month when we brand he and some of his fellow Marines are coming to help, may not get the branding done but...

When we were testing these bulls the other day, the vet was asking how much grain these bulls got and we got into this discussion. We have not seen any change in the semen quality with our bulls. The vet said that alot of the bulls that he tests that have been pushed for gain will have poor...

That bull is 18 months old. We did not weigh that bull at birth, but if you use an 80 pound birth weight his 205 weight was 701. The yearling weight I have not calculated, but it would not be that impressive, probably around 1100, because everyone will always compare weights to bulls that have...

Faster than a speeding bullet sometimes!!!!!!! :lol: I don't think that I could take running all over the west showing cattle unless I can get back my 20 something body and 9 foot tall state of mind. It was sure fun then, you couldn't pay me enough to do it now, I barely make it through the...

You will have to blame nortexsook for this, he posted that picture of FRC Sir 1, known to us as Leo, that we owned half of and used extensively at Hot Springs Ranch. These are some sons and I think grandsons of his at Cow Palace, 1978. We tried to enhance the picture so you could read the...

he can walk, that is the best thing about growing bulls out the way we do instead of having a corn eating contest with them. I have not culled a bull for feet and legs for a long long time. I also have'nt bought any bulls for a long time, using only ones we have raised. They get culled when they...

Aint no pie eating contest around here!!!!!!!! We raise these bulls the way I think bulls should be raised. We wean them in February, run them on grass until fall, then they come in and get hay and 5 pounds of cake for the winter. What you see is what they are, they don't know what corn or...

Had to run out and take a picture of a bull for a potential customer so I thought that I should post it here. This is a Balancer out of Balanced Design a bull that ABS has. Some of his herdmates that were processed on 2/29 went 100% YG 3 or lower, 65% choice or better, brought $56.12 over market...

I know that these guys are still reading this, not posting, after reading this garbage and bad mouthing more people that I know, I have done the right thing in having JB remove me from the members list. I guess that I should have written something derogatory about AZ Asshole so I could be in the...

Shortgrass, that is a very good one, your words are great. I in my life have had more friends of the equine and canine persuasion, than humans, some of which I needed to end their life to send them on their way to a better place, some I was glad to send them on to a new master, I grew up being...

I wouldn't waste my time on the cowboy forum, I joined and I am sorry that I did. Some of the garbage posted on there today is nothing but porn. I am going to ask to be taken off of the member list. I guess I am not cowboy enough cause I will not tolerate that crap in an unrestricted site that...

Megans looks to have the muscle, but that is deceiving in these pictures. From the pictures he is the one IF he has some bark on him when the time comes. I love to have judges comments written down as to why this one is the best and that one is the worst when we look at the ultrasounds or the...

That Jersey is one good tale to tell. Thanks for sharing it fits perfectly with Shortgrass's Sunday morning, but would have made my eyes water anytime anyplace. I need a breath of fresh air

Tap you are always asking great questions to get these threads going and I usually don't pipe up, this time I will. JB is right about the people thing, if you have the tall mountains, clear streams, you are not going to get away from encroachment, beauty sells, but beauty is in the eye of the...

Thanks for another enlightening read Shortgrass, I wish that I could say the things that you do in so few words with so much impact. You knew that this bunch would come up with the life style that we lead along with our family and friends. With that being said, I have the priviledge of walking...

Now Jassy, don't you know that this whole storm and all of the consequences were caused by GW not signing the Kyoto Agreement and because I burnt a bunch of plastic twine the other day. I did also notice that there were no riots in the streets of Denver, or anywhere that the storm hit. People...

Doc is making everyone think again! Where we are, we are in the pine needles, so to graze during the winter, you have to have an open winter and you better have your cattle close by if it looks like it is going to storm. If we get a storm and your cows are out, I have seen people lose 1/3 of...

Shortgrass, I wish you and yours a Happy New Year, with any and all that you need. Thanks for the messages, you have a gift (wonder who gave you that one?). Keep it up, yours is always a good read, positive, short and to the point. Thank you, with all of the negativity, I truly enjoy reading...
