Today I went out and helped with the fertility testing of the grazing association bulls.



We gathered them yesterday, 85 head.


28 failed.





Heads up gents.

Global warming?

Too much Bud Light

Global freezing your nuts off.





Old school vet and he took his time. Took 9 hours.



Spotted our buddy on his way home with an empty pot and he hauled the unlucky bulls to town. They changed the cell towers out there and it's chittier service.

Sam

I guess you test the bulls every year. Is 33% normal ?

Hal

Hal, I would guess it should be closer to 10%.

The bulls won't recover and be capable ever again?

Yeah, I don't wanna freeze my nuts................ain't plannin' on makin' no lil' ones, but still.............a big nope for me.

I'm sure all the bulls that are still able to work will be happier now..............more girls per each!

Don’t you vote for heifers with nuts?

LOL

Geno, you would have loved to talk to the vet.


60 years old(?) and willing to explain knowledge.

Learned some new tricks.




Due to the size of the pastures we have to buy new bulls.



But canners are sky high so that helps.

It would be better if you didn’t comment. Just sayin’

Yeah. It’s kinda easy to invest when a 600 pound bull brings 2.04 a pound. That’s the second time in the last eightish years they’ve brought that here. I hope it sticks. Lotta damn expense goes along with cows.

Early Feb we got 2.10 for a run of 675 pound steers calves.


Wish we still had 'em!



Good 2-3 yr old pairs are crowding $3k here.

I just got a flyer for a May sale. Fall bred heifers. I expect they’ll bring $2500 minimum for nice ones. They are state fund approved so approved producers can get subsidized. Hell, they might bring $2800 and up. Feeders are really high

That’s damn good!

sunofabish,

I knew I shoulda bought a cow last year. To raise right here on my 7Acre RANCH! Get the vet to make her preggo, have a little junior, get started on becomin' a Cattle Baron.

Glad I bought that 1/4 beef at the price I did early this year.

Make sure you let Wabi know..... He would also love to feed some of your steers FYI.

Better get some of them hairy highland cattle or some auroc bulls, somethin' with some fur on they nuts!

Your vet gets cows preggo? WTF

We will have to can one for sure this year.

He had half his scrotum fall off.


Did you see a lot of scabs Sam?

I’m scarred for life now. The fugk?

The place in Idaho gets a bit wintery.





And sometimes not.



Neighbors on the porch. I send what I want to hear and they sort it.

Bonny Raitt here.

Weird Science?

Do they have pineapple tattoos?

We’re testing on Thursday, you have me a little worried now lol, I culled hard in the fall thinking we likely wouldn’t run cows this year for lack of water, then it actually snowed and filled everything up, put 2 bulls down with broken legs and a 3rd went through the ice in the river, one for sure lost the bottom of his sack, some are a little scabbed, hope we have better luck then you guys did testing!

Got any of those purple crown royal bags Sam/Jim?

Atta Boy!!

We have a bunch of bulls that froze theirs too. Hope some will test as we didn’t buy enough to replace all. Winter never ends up here. Got 14 inches of snow last week in that storm. Still big banks all over. Going be late seeding.

SONOFABITCH !!

Keyboard please !

Better to test them to learn the hard way.

There's a new business opportunity here for you

Same principle, only make them out of cordura and fur or down lined. Hire someone to go around putting them on in the fall and removing them in the spring!

Cali!

Not a ton of bull sales left out there.Hopefully someone was thinking ahead and have some young bulls waiting in the wings.

If you guys need some bulls,send me a pm, I can source some good private treaty bulls from some of my purebred clients.

LMFAO

Sooner or later the consumer is going to pay the piper for the drouth glut the last couple years, sounds like it's coming sooner.

I hope producers are able to make some "get-ahead" money rather than the packers getting all the profits.

I was born with a thirst.

Jim, yep, lots of scabs.

We only have to keep a couple bulls here at home and strawed them up good every cold snap. They look okay but I think we should still have them tested just in case.




Raider7, damn the luck!



Hardway, will you help install the CR bags?!





C, good luck with it up there. I have heard of some horror stories along the Milk River.

They call that vet "Longarm".

Any simpatico ranchers would fit those bulls with insulated cod /scrotum pieces in winter.

I'll run the camera.

I’m on the milk on the Canadian side, coyotes got fat here this winter for sure Sam.

I beg your pardon?!

I only wholesale the bags.... I no longer install 🤣

Is that a COOP of ranchers that own a bunch of breeding bulls

That's pretty typical and actually not too bad

Man! If a guy could commit, he could save a bundle on a vasectomy.

Praying for Sam’s nuts.

Sounds like Sam needs some ball bags.

Clyde

'Bout done here !
