I agree with the herd animal comment.  Our first year we had no other calves on the place for our first show heifer.  We got two Nubian goats for company.  Cheap to feed.  Friendly and were also great companions in the years after as something to put in with weaning calves.  Just a thought but...

Hey folks.  This has been a good source of "i didn't think of that" ideas We have a 5 yr old herf cow with a 2 month old heifer on side.  Let me preface this with we are small breeder and raised the mother and this is her 3rd calf.  We take really good care of our small herd as they were all...

First it is sad you have to go through this.  Small claims court is your best avenue but as the previous person stated you have to file it in the county they reside in.  If you do this have your ducks in a row. You appear to have an email that stated you would be paid.  That is good for you. ...

We have gotten two grey skinned white heifers.  Gorgeous they are but not smoky.  Will be interested to see what we get from them down the road.  I would have thought we would get more smokey tones but not the case. 

I know a little about genetics Trying to piece together the offspring genetics of a calf  Now I know the color of it and it's full sibling.  Thought I would ask you color gurus what you think I may get and see what you all say Cow is By Alias out of a PB Angus  Cow has grey skin/nose and is not...

While I found the facts of the article to be fairly accurate is was the insinuation that what was going on at the hog shows is a bad thing.  Life is a competition.  From peewee little leagues, rocket football, science fairs, GPAs, jobs, and the list goes on.  There will always be the those...

Your steer was laying down.  Weighed 1365 I believe. Looked them all over and waited to see if he would get up.  Told the spouse that guy was going to win the show.  Nice steer and we have raised some of our own to success and there is nothing better than that!  Good luck and will see what you...

Was this steer on a south wall of the beef barn?  Of the south barn.  If this is the one I remembered he was my pick to win the show!  Congrats!

Good article on it  http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/complementaryandalternativemedicine/pharmacologicalandbiologicaltreatment/dmso It is true that this is used as a medium to transfer other drugs and solvents through the skin easily.  That is why is must be used in a...

Try 2 packages smoked sausage cut up into chunks.  About 2 lbs red potatoes-if large quarter them. I bag frozen green beans.  About a cup of water.  Put in a pot on low all day or High for half the day until the potatoes are done.  the size of the potatoe determines the cooking time.  Need it to...

I watched the chicken documentary.  In the age where the American animal producer is being attacked by such animal rights activists as PETA, and the Humane Society for production practices and by such retailers as Chipotle for our ""inhumane" practices, I am concerned how these "relationships"...

I am a die hard corgi owner or should I say they own me and my heart.  They are truly magical fierce stubborn loyal cuddlebugs!  So sorry you lost part of your family.  A friend sent me this when my corgi passed away from cancer.  Hope it helps and when you are ready your old friends will point...

The hormone beef thread made me think of this I saw on another page.  Please share.  It is a very very simple way to visually share what hormones are in what.  Hard to dispute this picture.  Wonder how much cabbage everyone ingested on St. Patty's Day?  read it and see  ;)...

I have searched a lot and I cannot find any place they say they buy their meat from.  Niman ranch is one supplier.  here is a list of ingredients.  Not sure how they think their food is so superior.  I see all the things they say they are against on the ingredient list...

http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2014/02/17/opinion-a-farmers-challenge-to-chipotle/ Seems like a reasonable request Can anyone out there supply a link as to where they do buy their meat?
