  1. @AFBFMace good luck! Been thru 2 knee surgeries myself. My lasting reminder of high school football.
  2. @jpickett1968 It's from Canada but the info would apply here too. Thank you for supporting #beef producers.
  3. @jpickett1968 I'd be interested in your thoughts after reading this. http://www.cahi-icsa.ca/pdf/Beef-Hormones-Factsheet.pdf
  4. @jpickett1968 & feeder cattle will only be on a higher corn based diet briefly before harvesting.
  5. @jpickett1968 The important thing to remember is that almost every cow spends the vast majority of their lives eating grass
  6. @jpickett1968 There are some really great families that feed cattle near SF. I might b able to line up a tour if u like.
  7. @jpickett1968 I'd love 2 get paid more for r cattle, but supply and demand dictate price. Eat more #beef if u want to help us out!
  8. @jpickett1968 we can. Stress will cause more sickness than feeding them corn can.
  9. @jpickett1968 keeping cattle healthy is cheaper than treating sick ones. Just like ur kids get sick, so do cattle. Try to prevent as best
  10. @jpickett1968 have used AB's in th past is because we want r cattle healthy as possible. It's too expensive to overuse, so we don't do that.
  11. @jpickett1968 the pens are kept clean. Corn does change the PH level of the rumen. That is correct. But the main reason that we (cont)
  12. @jpickett1968 head must have a nutrient management plan. Dirty, manure caked cattle get discounted in price, so for that reason alone (cont)
  13. @jpickett1968 for feed. Not a good deal when ur goal is for them to put on weight. The pens r regularly cleaned and any lot over 1K (cont)
  14. @jpickett1968 Number of head in a pen is determined by bunk space for the most part. If they were over-crowded, they wud b competing (cont)
  15. @jpickett1968 Here's a link to some info about pollen drift. This answers your concern pretty well i think. Read # 9. http://bit.ly/uJKGo
  16. @jpickett1968 What do u think goes wrong at the feed yard? I wouldn't send mine there if I thought it wasn't the best way to raise beef.
  17. @jpickett1968 He inaccurately describes calving season, condition of the feed yard we send our cattle to were a couple of things.
  18. @jpickett1968 The price of #food has dropped over the last yr. That shouldn't happen if their theories were correct.
  19. @jpickett1968 There are many diff seed companies to choose from. But if we want to use their product, we have to pay for it.
  20. @jpickett1968 I haven't had a chance to see the film, but many of the things Pollan has written in the past aren't accurate.
