Knife or band. As soon as the sac is dry enough to grip.

They are. Casper Mountain Motor Sports for example.

I just got a CFMoto. Nothing fancy but it sure seems well built. Best warranty in the business so hopefully that’s because they are confident of the build quality. 5 years on the engine is impressive.

That is a big day for sure.

No, we sorted on foot. Which explains why I'm wore out. We used horsed to bring groups up, and to work out the odd cranky cow. Facilities at this location were not really handy for horse of foot work, so it was kind of a "make do" operation.

Thanks, it is nice to have a reasonably uniform set of calves. I don't think it hurts the pricing. I would like to see this pen have a few more steers in it in the future. The fun is in the trying. I was feeling a little down about the weaning weights this year but then remembered I started...

Thought I'd post a pic of a pen of my calves coming through the auction this fall. Not my heavies, but not bad either. Mostly just content to see the evenness of the calf crop. I didn't get a good video of the heavy pen, but it was a heart warming sight for me. I guess I mostly wanted to post...

Haven't seen many calf pictures lately, thought I'd post one and hope to see some from others. Taken April 13, 2018.

Sold 3 bottle feeders yesterday for $450 ea. Took no time after listing, folks showed up with cash and hauled them away. As of today the twins that are left are in a pen with their mothers in case I need to steal one.

I did look back and none of the cows were twins themselves. We may be out of the woods now, we've had 15 or 20 in a row without twins. Looking online now to see what bottle calves are worth, might try to unload a few of them. I have two cows doing segregated on good feed and water that are...

I like your percentage Haytrucker, I'd be quite happy with that. It's always nice to have a couple spare calves on hand when things go bad. As it sits we have quite a little pen full ready for any eventuality :-) Fortunately we have not had a set for a couple of days now, so maybe the rush is...

As of last night we were twinning at a rate of 25% on 48 cows calved. Hopefully it levels out soon, I'm pretty sure that's a pretty high percentage regardless of nutrition, and I'd like to assume that the number is high at this point because twins tend to have a shorter gestation period.

I understand the genetics part. What I'm really wondering is aside from genetics, if cows are in the same body condition year in and year out, are there any environmental considerations that could cause an increase in twinning rates from year to year. We seem to be having more than our fair...

I understand nutrition to be a factor in the twinning rate of cattle, and genetics to a point, but some years twinning seems to get carried away. All things being equal is it just chance?

Can also be sign of brain damage, but also doesn't sound like it in this case.

Producers may find that if they went to breeds with higher lean meat yields that the need to import lean cattle to mix all the trimmings with would decline. As it is, those lean imports actually add value to domestic production.

Nice!

Kinda seems like someone should be up in arms about a trade panel usurping a nations sovereignty lol
