This is a shorthorn heifer we raised. What do you think of her? She is out of JPJ and a Surf SH cow. Jordan

I have a hereford heifer that I bought to experiment with. I have never messed with herefords before. From her papers attached below, what do you think of her breeding? Thanks! Jordan

This is the foot of a 4 year old brahman cow that we have.  We noticed she was moving slower than normal and found this "thing" growing out of her foot. What is it and can it be fixed?

I saw an advertisement in the Texas Farm Bureau publication for Wrangler Bermudagrass. Has anyone had any experience with it? If so, how was it - good, bad or indifferent?

We live in Texas and raise a few shorthorn calves which we try to sell for show steers/heifers.  I have a Wildside steer that we are going to try to sell to one of the local 4-H's. We always try to price our calves very reasonably, being X 4-Her's ourselves. We are wondering, since so many...

We have a 6 month old Gus heifer. Three weeks ago I noticed mucus by her tail, but did not think anything about it. Two days ago I, again, noticed mucus and the boys were following her around, jumping her. Today there was blood on her tail. Is it possible that she is having heat cycles at 6...

So, as usual, I have waited until the last minute to decide who to breed one of our cows to. She is out of Pacer and Phildon XS cow. This is not a great picture, but that is her 2 month old Gus heifer beside her. My semen choices are: Ace of Diamonds, Salute, Kaboom, Gus, Smooth Criminal...

A friend of mine wants to borrow my bull for a few months to breed his cows. I do not need him right now, and quite honestly, would like to get him off the feed bill for a couple months. What I would like to know is how other people handle it when they allow someone to use their bull. He is not...

We have a small field- 24 acres - that did not produce anything this year due to the drought.  We have had some rain in the last few weeks and I am trying to think of something we can plant that might provide some forage for fall/winter grazing.  Does anyone have any idea what would be good? ...

I have never heard this song on the radio.  Probably never will... (angel) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiYgpPB1kwU

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, so if they have, please disregard this subject. Does anyone else find it sad that clergy and first responders have not been invited to the Ground Zero ceremony, due to "not enough room"?  I bet there will be room for politicians. Seems to me that...

Have LARGE round bales of klein, love or sudan for sale.  Located in Mason, Texas. 

I have already noticed the flies are starting to bother our cows.  I have never used fly ear tags. Do they work?  If so, I noticed there are tons of different kinds.  What does everyone like to use?

We had a heifer diagnosed with coccidiosis and will be treating her with amprolium.  Has anyone had any experience with amprolium?  Specifically, have you drenched, put it in the water trough or given the pelleted feed? I am just wondering what is the most effective and easiest way to tackle...

I'm looking for some shorthorn embryo's to help strengthen our herd. Does anyone have any available? Thanks, Bonnie

Unfortunately, we do not do our own AI work, but instead haul them to be bred.  It always seems that at least one cow/heifer comes back lame from being ridden, yet at home they can come in heat, get mounted and don't have a problem.  Anybody else have this happen? I am hesitant to give the cow...

I have a calf that is on antibiotics and is running fever.  It is so stinking hot here anyway, and I would like to give him some Banimine for his fever.  The vet said it was okay, but mentioned the risk of an abcess.  Have any of you ever had a problem with giving a calf banimine? Thanks for the...

We have a cow at the ranch who has bright red blood coming out of her nostril, only on one side.  It is not  a lot of blood, more like a trickle.  She is laying down a lot and does not have much energy.  Anybody know what might cause this?

I had a cow give birth to a JPJ  calf today.  Her back udder is HUGE and she has a verticle slice about 3 inches long on it.  Unfortunately, she gave birth in a area with lots of sharp cedar branches. What is the best way to treat the cut?  I know that I will probably have to milk the udder...

We live north of San Antonio, and I was wondering what everyone is paying for hay these days.  Specifically round bales of wilman love grass, round bales of klien hay and square bales of sudan.
