Thank you

I am sure that back multiple generations in the corriente blood lines, there was a Charolais or Murray Grey crossed in their genetics. I have a smoke colored corriente heifer in my herd, I am excited to see how she crosses with these bulls. The history of the corriente, longhorn, and criollo cattle breeds is pretty broad due to them being based on a more wild-type genetic base. There is a very good chance that there is anything from Charolais to Holstein in their genetic makeup.

Thank you

Thank you! I would have more viewers if she was in charge!

I can't get the darn things to work to save my life. I have really considered removing the fuel filter manager and putting a different filter in its place.

Thank you. It's a rough old rig, but it does its job just as good as any other truck. It looks like I might be doing some diagnostics on it soon.

Thank you! We are pretty excited to see how he does.

Thank you! Welcome to the channel.

It has been healed for 2 years. It is an old injury and she can get around fine as is. She will end up being part of the food chain eventually.

Thank you!

Steers and bulls are 100% grass fed.

In my area we are hot and dry most of the year. Tedders are not common at all. I am in NW Oklahoma. Small grain, grass, and sudan/feed hay is worth $100-150/ton.

Thank you!

I assume you are speaking about salebarns. They handle 1000's of cattle in a short amount of time. Most sale barns do the best that they can when it comes to sanitation. With that said, there is always a risk of bringing home sickness when buying cattle from a sale barn. I try to sell the better end of my culls private treaty, which provides a little better quality to the next owner. I hope that explanation helps.

I was partners with a neighbor that did that. It is a good business plan for a terminal operation. My only problem with that operation is that I have to buy replacement cattle every few years instead of raising my own. I butcher my steers and haven't been able to taste the spots or horns yet.

@@stkcattleandhay oh yea thats exactly right

@storminnormanz The goal with my herd is to maintain 25-50% corriente influence, 25-50% mashona, and 25-50% red angus. I really don't have a specific % I am shooting for, but my bulls are 50-100% red angus currently. I think a mix of roughly equal parts will make a high-quality animal that finishes well on grass in my environment.

True calving ease, 100% grass-fed genetics, and the cows are developed the same way I run my own cattle.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

It will take twice as long to dry this time of yr, and I am later than I intended. My old swather was breaking down every field, if not 2-3 times. This fall has been very dry. The forecast shows 70's and 80's with wind for the next week.

I agree, but I have had good luck putting horses in large areas. They typically find one area and graze it harder than the rest but I do move my horses to different pastures.

Thank you

Kit Pharo has a good selection of bulls that are developed the right way.

I sell bulls every 3 yrs. This prevents most inbreeding as it takes 2 yrs from the time of conception to the time I turn bulls out on those heifers. By that time the sire of the heifers will be on his 3rd yr. I expect 80% of my cows to breed in the first 21 days. The % of breeding heifers in my herd is low so there likely will not be any in breeding. There are advantages to inbreeding, I am no expert on it but I do not believe I have had any negative outcomes from potential inbreeding.

I do not sell heifers unless they do not breed the first season, the ones that do not breed in my preferred season get bred for a different season and sold as bred heifers. My steers are sold as beef from 24-36 months of age.

Thank you

Thank you! It always looks better when the pastures are green!

I will end up with a couple of trails. My steers don't seem to do it nearly as bad as my cows. They only seem to trail in, but fan out and graze while leaving. I learned that wide lanes are important 100' might be overkill, but 12-20' caused problems.

Yes! I sent samples of it in on Thursday. I was going to shoot a video, but I was in a hurry. I will probably make a video taking samples of the next field and of the samples. This field has had issues of nitrates as high as 30,000 ppm.

That's terrible. We had that happen to us the last 2 yrs due to drought.

@@stkcattleandhay yep. What do u do. Next year. Lol

After pretty much 3 failed crops/covers in a row, we have about the best crops I've seen in a while.

1/2 of a tenth would be considered a heavy dew lol. We got 3/4" in that rain and 1.4 the next day.

@@stkcattleandhay that’s a monsoon for this area last few years

NW Oklahoma. We are getting 120-150/ton currently.

It's coming! We are in the short grass pararie area. At least I didn't have to build a barn to calve in though.

Awesome! What kind of cows does he have over there?

That issue actually ended being a fuel pump wiring problem iirc.
