    ❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ love hearing you have a south poll bull ❤ if you ever want to do a ultra sound to see what your marbling rate is on each animal so you can choose the best genetics going forward ❤❤❤

    What does the 3/1 ratio of cow belly to underspace tell you re: the cow?

      For us it has been a common factor in good growing grass mothers that birth easy and produce good calves. They don’t waste energy with movement. They have room to produce good size calves, and transfer grass to beef without weighing over 1200 themselves. Negatives are they don’t travel long distances well like out west. These animals preform the best in our area (Midwest). In other areas your context may change these parameters. Thanks for watching.

    Do you have mineral blocks you move with your cattle. How do you select what minerals are best.

      We use free choice enterprise, free choice minerals. Plus salt and kelp.

    Those cows you have only work in half the country well. The father you get south and west those don't work. Southwest you have to have brama or longhorn roper mixes. Most have trouble because their cattle doesn't fit the environment. The cows on my Arizona ranch need to be able to walk miles where here in Oklahoma yards. Still full blood beef don't do well from heat and humidity

      You don’t know anything about the south poll breed 😂 red color animals handle the heat better 😂South Poll breed has better marbling and and has better grass genetics is the best 😂 longhorn doesn’t even compare to the weight gains 😂 you have 1 cow at 1000 to 2000 pound cow 😂 then you have 3 South Poll cows each at 900 to 1200 pound😂 every year the 900 pound cows give you 2 extra calf every year 😂 again red cows are out eating grass when white or black cows are in the shade 😂 biggest thing is the south poll gain more weight in the end you have 3 SOUTH POLL cows at 1000 pound each😂or you can have your one longhorn at 1400 pounds 😂 I would go with 3 south polls at 3000 pound of cows 😂 on the same ground the stocking rate 3x for south poll cows ❤ instead of 300 head of longhorns 😂😂😂 you can have 750 to 900 south poll❤ the math don’t lie, 1500 to 2000 pounds of meat that at $3 pound.. almost $6,000 difference at same stock ratio per acre ❤❤❤ Have a nice day

      Thanks for the comment, I agree, I try to constantly say context is important, as well as this is what I do rather than everyone should do it this way. I’m curious how many acres you carry per cow?
