    Re: Hay question??

    40 mile which way? I am 22 miles West of Texarkana. If I remeber correctly, sprigging will make a better stand quicker. Seeding is a long term type thing. Keeping a good coastal stand can be...

    Re: Bull To Breed

    We normally wait until our bulls are nearly 2 years old before turning them out. Also, we like for our heifers to be at least 18 months old if not close to the 2 year mark themselves. You run the...

    Re: rats/mice in the barn

    are you feeding the cats? If so, I bet they would rather chase kitty vittles than mice/rats.

    Re: Bull to Cow ratio???

    Not to sound smart, but if you want production then one cow is enough to justify a bull.
    I have one bull on about 45 Mama cows and we have close to 100% calf crop every year in our little cow/calf...

    Re: Confused and confusing almost twins calf

    That is pretty interesting. Around here, I know several breeders who would NOT have had that in the paper. They wouldn't want what could be deemed negative press concerning the genetics in their herd.
