Farmerboy72 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 What I do to get ready for this year's feedlot cattle. Pics of the calves will be in a few days. Fill the silo in September, clean the silo off in November, get the hay ready for the first few days, vaccinate and implant on Wednesday, and then hope they do well on regular feed. I apologize for some pics out of order. The last three should be between the two videos to be in chronological order. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy WP Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We kept a steer over that wasn’t quite ready for slaughter. Cattle don’t feed well by themselves so I went to the Sylvan Grove salebarn. It is definitely not in the same league as Valentine!! I bought 5 critters, ranging from 390 to 825 pounds. Paid $1425 for the entire bunch. The only steer in the bunch turned into coyote bait. Paid $10 for him, but added to that with 30ml of Resflor. The rest of the bunch are doing great! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzards were not that picky, ever. Speaking of and assuming you were gone in the truck, did Lisa get to shoot any coyotes off him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She took him out Saturday afternoon. I told her to put him where it was a safe shot. Not like in the hills, we have to watch for the neighbors! Anyway I wasn’t paying attention, setting panels up and sorting other critters. That night, after DARK, I said what do you suppose the distance is to the bait? Ummm, 350 to 400 yards she says. Dang woman! The only riffle I have, that I am comfortable with that distance, is my 7mm Rem mag! So, no! The blaze faced pony came from Shane Wobbig. This calf got knocked down in the truck and had a hip out for sure, if I would have saved the drugs, they would have gone after him. Hopefully we have enough ‘yote dogs around that are hungry to clean him up before the pooches from the house find him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most lately have been preaching ‘green house gas’. My argument for them is compare today with the late 1700s/early 1800s. Some historians have buffalo numbering 60 million or more. Todays cattle herd is around 88 million. But todays cattle (based on diet and genetics) produce less ‘green house gas’ than a buffalo would have. So realistically we are even, but why is ‘green house gas’ a modern problem? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkandcattle Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?" Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ...Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves." "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?" The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?" "You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud. "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?" "No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you call "cobblers", here is the Sandhills are "nuts" "Balls" would be reserved for someone with temerity. Here also we still "cut with a knife" although some have experimented with "banding" what you call "ring around the cobblers" 😄 🤠 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
