Grazing conditions are always a hot topic for producers throughout the year, and growing conditions vary year to year and across the country. Progressive Cattle asked readers, "How are grass conditions in your area looking for the rest of the grazing season?”

We’ve asked before if producers would be interested in using A.I. (artificial insemination) on their cow herd, and the majority answer has been a big yes, if it was more accessible.

Cattle ID preferences vary from producer to producer, but the ever-present question of “which one do you use?” is an evergreen conversation starter among the cattle crowd.

New vehicles are a rare commodity on most ranches, according to a recent Progressive Cattle poll.

With parts of the country battling their way back from drought and U.S. cattle numbers reaching historic lows over the last few years, it’s reasonable to ask when producers are going to start rebuilding their herds.

While results may differ across the entire U.S. cow-calf industry, the majority of our poll respondents said they use A.I. for at least part of their herd.
