cattle

"We have about 60 plus herds across Montana that are under quarantine pending testing to clear them to make sure that they don't have TB in their herds. We've not found TB outside of that initial positive herd, and we hope that that's what continues."

Today is a big day out at the ranch. It's shipping day. We'll be loading the calves up and sending them to market. It signifies a year's worth of work that has been a huge challenge this year, to say the least.

Frustrated with persistently low prices, ranchers and others in the beef industry are moving to reverse a long trend of consolidation and planning to open new slaughterhouses.

We wanna buy Montana beef, but the question is- how? We talked about that and more with Lanie White from The Great Alone Cattle Company in Two Dot, Montana. They're hosting an upcoming meat seminar in Billings.

That historic heart-shaped cattle brand that we told you about back on November 5th sold over the weekend for $36,000 in Joliet, Montana. Absarokee auctioneer Rick Young tells us it was an awesome auction.

Check out this cattle brand that is coming up for auction later this month. It is a heart-shaped cattle brand that has been in one family all the way back since it was first registered in 1873. The brand was first registered to O.C. Whitney of Ennis, Montana on February 10, 1873.

I had a heifer die this weekend and this was her calf.

After the first round at the Tangle, my team is tied for 56th, and not in last place as I originally thought.

I've often been asked if I need any help during branding. I turn down almost all of it. Branding can be dangerous and you just can't take the chance of getting someone hurt. The cows are on edge and the calves are cute but strong and powerful too...

I really don't know how a Montana cow does it.

Hey, if anyone out there wants to get into the cattle business, I have some bum calves that need to go. This week's special is two for the price of two or three for the price of three. Hurry, this offer will not last long. Member MSGA-RAA
