It’s like a meeting at the coffee shop, only we’re spread out from one end of the country to the next: Canada to Texas and New Hampshire to Washington. I have a great time conversing with this crowd and swapping management ideas. When moderating I usually try to ask a few questions that will stimulate some thought and maybe kindle some new connections in the agriculture world.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.trufflemedia.com/agmedia/haytalk/winter-livestock-forage-management" target="_blank">Here’s the archive</a> from last night’s conversation.

No matter the day I’m excited to share more of my favorite cattle breeds and a little bit on how each breed is unique and their background. This week’s cattle breed is Brangus and I have to thank Brittni with International Brangus Breeders Association for use of photos and descriptions (goBrangus.com).<br /> <br /> Brangus Characteristics<br /> <br /> Adaptable to harsh climates<br /> Docile<br /> Disease resistant<br /> Heat tolerant<br /> Maternal strengths<br http://www.ranchingforums.com/content/cattle-101-brangus-28/ http://www.ranchingforums.com/content/cattle-101-brangus-28/
