My dad is a photographer and happened to be around while we assisted a first calf heifer. It was an easy pull but she was pretty wore out and rested for quite a while. When she sat up she really didnt notice her calf back behind her. Dad caught the moment where you finally realized something was...

Have a Churchill Sensation heifer who is just shy of 2 years old calve 3 days ago, a week early, and she is an excellent mother but seems to be struggling to keep up milk production for her calf. Started her on a 20% range cube to bump up protein. Anything else I can/ should be doing to help her...

Okay guys I am getting ready to file an LLC and make everything an official business. Have my list of names narrowed down but cant settle on one. The family name is Ferro but I have never liked the way it sounds with anything so I decided to use local geographical names, areas, and rock...

Have a very nice bull calf we are thinking of sending off to a feed test this fall. Many of his dams herdmates have preformed pretty well there in the past so I am not worried about his performance abilities. I wonder how much this will help with his marketability? When you guys shop for a new...

When I lived up in Wyoming every barn had a few blank CD's hanging up from fishing line in the rafters. Turns out the shine off of them upsets birds and keeps them out of areas where the CD's are hung. Never used it myself but its inexpensive enough to try
