One of the ringmen told me 115 head of Charolais bulls averaged $6153. I do not have an average for the Angus. I would guess the 64 Angus bulls averaged over $4000. By far and away the majority of the bulls were bought by commercial cattlemen and women for a price over $5000. Unofficially...

Congrats to the LT crew for a wonderful sale. As always the cattle and hospitality were second to none. They had a barn burner of a sale and again got every bull sold. We'd also ask you keep the Thiel family in your prayers. Brent lost his Mom just hours before the sale started. The day...

We'd like to wish the best of luck to our neighbors and friends at Lindskov-Thiel Charolais. Their Annual Production Sale is today. The LT cattle are great and are backed by even better people. The LT folks have a beautiful day for their sale! This is one of the most enjoyable days of the...

mn, The Ritchey family are wonderful people. Their customer service, in my experience, is second to none. I would encourage you to contact them, and tell them your problem Not only would I bet they make it right, I bet they have a solution for you too. The Ritcheys have continually told me...

Welcome to ranchers.net We have not fed millet straw, but do feed millet hay. I am not trying to be rude, but I'd encourage you to do two things: 1. Ask for a feed test or have the feed tested yourself. There is so much variability in quality of straw, hay, etc. A lot of this variability...

Congrats cowboykell...sounds like a good day all around. I heard Al Gustin talking about the stronger calf market at Kist yesterday. It's great to hear good news! Cheers--- TTB :wink:

Tough deal, NR. I am sorry you and your family are having to do this. I think you are fortunate that you were able to select the new owner, and know that your cows will continue to get excellent care, and will be well managed. Hopefully the kiddos bring home a lugger to brighten the spirits...

:agree: Just what I was gonna write! Can't tie it to the hearse! Although I can honestly say I have never wanted to go buy a new tractor, it must have been fun to roll in and buy those three Cat Challengers or big combines at the same time :shock: :-) I am sure the equipment dealers will...

Ohhh I likey :lol: and generally I'm in the category of not liking squared toeds, but I love yours! I have to admit I tried on a pair of Bouillet (? spelling) square toed boots awhile back, and they were quite comfy, but I decided to keep my cash in my pocket. Probably about the time I break...

By the way, welcome aboard Einstein...it'll be nice to have another genius here... :lol: :wink: :lol: Cheers--- TTB :wink:

:lol: Cheers--- TTB :wink:

Unfortunately, I bet a bunch of the red cattle back out of tomorrow's sale, with the storm coming in. I am not sure when some will go, as they have been waiting for better than three weeks to get out. It seems storms like to move in on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Not that we are turning...

MYT: I agree with BMR and Katrina, and also Justin. Get a good pic of him now, and then lets see how he comes along. Justin is right, this is MYT's project. I never showed steers, but a heifer or two and lots of hogs and sheep. In fact, those 4-H projects, and the sheep project in...

Double L: I don't have many answers for you, but would suggest you contact the Texas A&M Extension Service. They have many well respected staff members could help you develop a plan and develop a ration, with your forages, available feedstuffs, breed type, drought conditions, etc. in mind...

gcreek: Are you asking about the Purina Precon? If so, I think it comes from the cottonseed in the product. If I remember right, the Precon has cottonseed in it. It sure is fluffy and smells good too. Remember, there are plant based fats too; of which soybean or corn derived fat are...

:agree: with Shortgrass! And like Shortgrass, I am proud to say I know all the folks in the video too! Sara was my idol growing up, and still is one my idols. AWESOME video, thank you so much for sharing the great stewardship and husbandry of Colorado's tremendous ranching community...

True. Better advice than I offered. I hope s&s is able to find a Vet. who will be willing to come out on a holiday weekend. Yes, I know it sounds dumb they would not, but it does happen. :mad: Cheers--- TTB :wink:

I am guessing what you are seeing are the calf's feet. Check out this link from Oregon State University. I think it should help you out. http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/html/ec/ec1370/ Do you have a local veterinarian you use, in case you think the heifer is having problems...

s&s: Of all the pics I have, I guess I don't have any of calving from start to finish. A couple of folks at cattletoday have done an excellent job of photographing the event. The photos of the Hereford (red, white face) cow are more detailed, showing from the expelling of the water bag to the...

How long is it? Does it have a "balloon" or "sack" hanging at the end? If so, I'd say she is just getting ready to calve. What does her udder look like? Can you post a picture for us to see? Good luck and cheers--- TTB :wink:
