With all of the mini breeds I was wondering if anyone was trying to produce Mini mane cattle. I have an Irish Whiskey heifer that is going to be very small, looking for a mini to breed her or someone to buy her. Thanks, I dont get on the computer but maybe once a month so text or call 217 251...
If I were you id spend your money on semen and someone to a i for you. If you want to a i your cows find a time that you can get to a class. Every cervix is differant and in class you get in several cows, also they will have uterus's out of slaughtered cows that you can get in before you go out...
It should get better this month, none of my cows rode at all in Feb due to all the ice. The first part of March wasn't much better with ice and then knee deep mud, but they have started acting normal now that the weather has leveled out.
Blood in the stool in young calves is usually coccidia. It can be a problem and can spread. I've had it twice this year same calf both times. I called my vet and she told me to use sulfa boluses. It took two applications but didn't spread.
One guys opinion, if you no she wasn't standing at say between 8 am and noon you should be fine at 6 am. The thing is each cow is differant I have one cow that only stands 1 to 2 hours and one that will stand for ever. My point is the closer you are to the 12 hour mark the better chance you have...

Just remember your not the only person in the ring, the clip on nose rings can help when you are working with him and may get him where you want him but your still on your own in the ring. We bought a really nice heifer off of a well respected show cattleman in Iowa three years ago with the...
I cant figure out how to pm you. If you are still looking I have a nice Feb and a june that is getting better every day. 217 251 3710 both can be shown by a beginner.
The shot is to help the cow clean her uterus. And you are right on the time line it allows us to a I them sooner in an attempt to jump them up. The 45 days is when we a I if we haven't used the lute, instead of weighting til 60 days, unless it would make her calve to early. We aren't trying to...
Xbar, lets stay on task here, l am also against abortion. This isn't the setting to take up that fight. That fight involves a lot of fire and some of our feelings will get hurt. Possibly even yours. If you are so opposed to the way these cattle are being raised i would assume that you don't eat...
