Resolved Question: How can I find out what cattle brand my husband's family had 50 years ago?

I know my husband's family, the Henshaws, at one time had the largest Red Angus herd in Texas. We'd like to find out what the brand was and possibly reactivate it, but so far, I haven't been able to locate any information from contacting the county offices. They were located in the coastal area.

Resolved Question: Just because it is "Angus" beef does it mean it is not full of bad quality parts?

I do not eat quick food beef but now with McDonalds coming out with Angus burgers as well as other places it is making me want to try it. I know angus is just a type of "high quality" cattle so it makes no difference to me if they are still going to put the assorted leftovers and fillers into it, why bother? i know its just the breed and every that crap. i want to know if stuff like organ meat and etc. is thrown in there like their regular burgers?

Resolved Question: why do ppl believe that its REAL 100% angus they serve at fast food places?

i hear it alot "the angus is better" so they buy it at BK. well. the world doesnt produce that many 100% angus cattle. that burger may be 50% angus or not at every so why do they believe this? Bk isnt the only place, Arby's, Mc'D most quick food chains and restaurants claim 100% angus. half of the cattle i think are just black and because they are black "they must be angus" okay, there are at any one given time around 1.35 billion cattle (every breeds) in the world. india has a constant growing number because they dont eat them India: 332 million brazil: 174 mil china: 141 mil Us: 97 mil these are the top 4 countries with cattle these are every different breeds and their are ALOT of breeds. the U.S has a population of about 294 million, 1 million in agriculture not every in the cattle part either. and these quick food chains take a big number of the worlds cattle in a year but they are not every 100% angus we wouldnt have any more angus at every if this was the case. why do ppl believe that angus is the best meat? why do they believe thats its 100% Pure angus beef they are chomping on? oh yes and its not just any angus its BLACK angus. i personally believe the Belgian blue meat is healthier Rogue: lol i can look you staring at the burger shrugging then going eh "what the hell i have a coupon" hehe. the useual thing i hear at least where i live is "well since im eating quick food i should probably eat the only healthy thing on the menu" why they dont buy the salad rather than grease is beyond me. personally i like a simple cheese burger i try not to think of Anabel

Resolved Question: I recently had an accident car vs. Cow?

I recently had an accident at night with a black cow. I came around a corner at night and there was a black angus i was below the speed limit and slammed on my brakes as quickly as possible. Luckily, i Made out with only whiplash and a few cuts thanks to the seat belt but the car is totaled. But the owner of the cow has not stepped forward yet. I have ask around and this is not an common occurrence apparently. I myself was raised on a farm and was taught that you need to have insurance and take responsibility for things like this. And that's a risk as a farmer putting cattle against a highway. What should i Do? I have full coverage and i will be taken care of thankfully by it. But ethically shouldn't the owner step up to the dish so to talk? Yes the highway state patrol and an ambulance for myself was called immediately.

Resolved Question: does this work for dogs? if not why not?

ok i was reading some of my cousins breeding and genetics books from her animal science studies. apparently if you breed a hereford to an angus you have what amounts to a cross breed bovine, but you can pick to turn that line into a purebred by breeding that back . hereford X angus= offspring A offspring A X hereford- offspring B apparently if you continued to breed the mixed offspring to that one purebred cow or bull for 5 generations the offspring would then be purebred hereford (since we kept breeding back to herefords) this works for the purebred cattle registries worldwide and also provides a larger healthier gene pool for the cattle while retaining the standard. ive been to cattle shows with her and have seen some of these fresh purebreds and they actually won. why do we not do that for dogs? or do some places? wouldnt it be good as long as we had a way to prove like cattle registries have, that the mix breed had that purebred in the 1st generation and continuously without inbreeding managed to breed it back into the genetics while providing fresh genetics? it has proved useful for keeping purebred cattle alive and eliminating some genetic health issues such as dwarfism in some cattle breeds that had serious health issues because of it . would you agree with a registry that managed to catalog this nice of information and allowed for 5th generation to be called a purebred? for instance, lab X golden lets say we want a lab, breed back into lab lines for the 5 generations and now you have a lab that if bred correctly will have fewer health issues and will meet the standard

My wife and I were scanning channels on TV and came across a cattle auction.

Resolved Question: Do you think this guy was into me, yes or no and why? Other questions also?

So here is a little back round. I am a teen who works as a cashier on the side and I receive a lot of people who live on farms, esp young farm boys. This guy looked to be around my age and I thought he was REALLY cute. Also the fair is this week and the local 4h group does showing. Here is what went on: So he comes to my lane with a bunch of salt blocks and I was like hi and how are you, etc. I then ask,"you going to be needing a farm sheet today?" He says no. So as curious as I am and no city folk ever buy that many salt blocks I ask, "what type of farm you got?" He says, "cattle." I say "beef or dairy?" he replays, "beef." So I ask, "Angus?" He says "Short Horn." So then I say, "Well that's chilly. Are they Feedlot Cattle?" He smiles and says "Some Feedlot and some breeding." Then I ask, "So do you have any other animals or is it just the cattle?" He replays with, "Just the cattle." I then grin and say, "Well I think you should receive some horses on that farm of yours!" He laughs and says, "Naw, I don't like any of them!" I then say "Well how could you not like horses......" Then I ask if he does any showing and he says yes for 4h. Then I ask if hes showing in the local fair. He said he was. he then asks "you gonna be showing them horses in the fair?" I say, "No, unfortunately you have to possess one to compete. So I stick to training and lessons." I then ask if he will be checking out the rodeo at the fair. He says hes not sure because they are showing early Wednesday morning. So i mention that there is bull riding on thursday that seems REALLY fun. He agrees. Well then they go to take off and he says maybe I will be seeing you in the 4h barns this year? I say well i might just have to pop in and say hi to you and maybe watch you show. He smiles and says ok. So I go look you around and good luck! Well on Wednesday I go to the fair and gander into the 4h barns. Well I eventually find him there and he finds me. What happens is, we didn't talk, but we passed each other down this little hall way sort of thing, we look each other. We kept eye contact for like 20 sec and both turn our heads to keep looking as we pass. Also again being curious I watch him show a little bit and mom said he would grin at me when he was in the ring. BUT WE DIDN'T TALK!!!!! So mom tells me, ok you did your part now if hes interested he will do his. So was he interested in me? Could he arrive back for me? what should I do?

Resolved Question: reputable breeders have you heard of this?

i came into class today and met some brain dead imbecile that plans to become a vet. she tells me she is horrified because a vet down the road from where she lives did an unethical procedure on her neighbors cow and is now planning it for her dog. what was this unethical procedure? if any of you know what it is to flush a pregnant female and harvest a fertilized embryo and implant it in another cow this is that. the neighbor had her reg angus cow impregnated with another cows (sexed) egg so the baby will be 100% unrelated to her herd of angus. so she can breed it to her females since it will be a bull. the lady also shows labradors and asked the vet if it would be possible to implant an egg from her CH female lab (she has trouble conceiving managed to have 1 litter before but the owner was afraid she would loose her during deliver) into her other female lab who might have an easier time delivering. the breeder expressed that the pups produced would have homes lined up every but one male that she might if it turns out as she likes and makes CH be bred to the surrogate mom who is a few points away from CH but should be CH by the time a male pup would be old enough to breed. the girl claimed this was incest and has been harassing the breeder threatening to call PETA because she is forcing incest on her dogs @.@ (note none of these animals are related) i would look that if it were humans and the child born from a surrogate mom was interested in the surrogate yes that would be sick but these are dogs and cattle and their is valid reason. for the cattle its because she wanted another breed of cattle in her herd and wanted a purebred but couldnt afford to boat the animal she wanted in from another country so she bought the bull she liked sperm and a cow of that breed she liked egg. for the dog its wanting better but fearing the loss of her dog who was only bred once but produced fantastic animals. your thoughts? if you were a breeder would you consider this method to receive better dogs and keep your dogs alive? as well as improve lines? would you use this method to receive the offspring from two animals you dont possess to add to your lines? have you heard of flushing an inseminated egg from an animal and placing it in another female? uhave2b: i dont know the womans name the girl that plans to be a vet said she was doing it to the dog but i do doubt it as it is a tiny clinic i pass by every day that mainly works on horses and cattle and minor dog and cat health problems. i would adore to know who would be the first to do it. Jayse: i agree, but im sure some would do it either way or even if they just saw that dog as to valuable to risk and know the other female (potential surrogate) has birthed before without issue and would be less likely to have issues. or if they had an injury and couldnt be bred naturally. oregano: i would think someone sane would do it with only 1 embryo as the cost is 2k per embryo for cattle. and as a way to only receive a dog for themselves because of the cost and risks to the animals involved. i couldnt imagine putting 6 fertilized embryo's in a dog 2k each and hoping to sell those dogs to homes...the only reason i look for this is for a breeder to receive another dog for themselves

Resolved Question: 100% Angus beef....false advertisement ?

Does it annoy you (in the slightest) that the food service industry has capitalized on the broad term "Only 100% Angus Beef"?...Considering that cattle may be "certified" as Angus by a 51% black coloring ratio. (Red Angus...?) It seems that quality now correlates more with hide color (or breed, even if impure) than a USDA beef grade? Why not advertise instead for 100% Choice Beef...? Maybe KFC will start promoting %100 Rode Island Red chicken...(for the superior tasting, leaner meat!)........I don't receive it? *Bored, grew up raising registered black angus....and hate sales gimmicks.

Resolved Question: I have a six month old Angus steer, who appears injured, but I can't get near him (he's unhandled). Help?

He arrived 4 days ago with 6 other steers, and we were (and still are) keeping them in the cattle yard until they settle. Only this particular steer got out on the first night, and went to a neighbours property, in search of his mom. I spotted him amongst their herd of dairy cows, and he looked fine - not lame or otherwise unhealthy. The neighbours brought him back the next day, and he was quite worked up, and they commented that he's quite wild, and that he 'had a go' at one of the men that morning. Now, he's still much more wary than the other steers - seems very frightened of humans. But he's quite lame on his right foreleg, and reluctant to move too much, although still eating his hay and moving away from us if we approach. He also seems to be shaking slightly. Any ideas would be most appreciated - I am new to cattle. It's a genuine question so genuine answers only please. I don't need to be insulted. Thanks everyone for your answers so far, you've every been great. I will watch him for any signs of deterioration, but will hold off on the vet for now. Can I just ask one (okay, two) more things - does anybody think the shaking/trembling is a concern? And should I give him some weaner pellets as well as hay, just for a mineral boost?

Resolved Question: Let me rephrase a question; Can some one tell me what they know about Red Angus cattle?

THEY ARE REAL, just nice of unknown. I think they're an off brand of Black Angus, but they are real so if you've never heard of Red Angus cattle, then don't answer this.

Resolved Question: What exactly is angus beef in relation to steaks? & what would be?

a good steakhouse in Houston for 100% Angus beef? I do not prefer steakhouse chains other than Smith & Wollensky. What about Flemings? I heard about another place called Brenner's. I also prefer my steak medium which is cooked with a little pink. Is that accurate? How is Angus different from a longhorn cattle? Forgive my naivete this my first time in Houston in 15 years! I would have placed this inquiry in "Dining out" section of houston but I need answers now. I am an impatient & busy lady. I need to know soon so my assistant can make the reservations.

Resolved Question: Do Black Angus actually taste better, or is it all marketing hype?

I've been curious about the pretty strong marketing emphasis promoting Black Angus cattle.

But what do I know - do Black Angus really taste better?
