poop. I don't know why the pictures came up side ways, they are not sideways on my phone. if some one can fix it, feel free!

We have a 2 month old bull calf that I noticed walked on his toes on the back legs. We were hoping to keep him as a bull but this has us questioning it. Would a trim help this at all?

does anybody do anything to their stock tanks and automatic waterers in the winter to help cut down on ice? other than those electric heaters (they use a lot of electricity). does putting a wood box around them help at all?

sent you a message

Message me, May be interested if you are close enough to us.

Multiple reasons I didn't call right away. I'm not a confrontational person, so it just made me nervous. Also I felt like we didn't have a leg to stand on as so far we have only lost approx $200. Once we got home and started discussing plans for the heifers, I realized they never talked about...

well i think i will be making phone calls next week. Could they really have not known? i mean seriously, how could they not know, right? my 4 new girls have impacted up to 50 head. i cant even begin to imagine how many head this sale could affected. well at least we have learned a lot from this...

Yeah I have a real hard time believing that someone didn't know. If they are dropping with in 2 weeks of the sale, surely they were loosing them before the sale. So far I've only lost about $150 in ctc, LA200, and vet bills. But if we start loosing fetuses and cows, I don't know what we'll do...

I posted about this on another forum. But also going to post it here. Bought cattle from a reputable breeder, at a complete herd dispersal sale on Sept 12 & 13. Bought 3 open yearlings and a bred heifer. To our luck, a cattleman (who wasn't at the sale, nor did he buy any) called up my husband...

We are wanting to use Melatonin for a calming agent. On other posts, I had seen people recommending that grow and shine stuff (when using melatonin for hair) and also Omegatin (from tractor supply). Do either one of those work for calming too? the first show is this weekend so needing a fast...

ABS has a red angus bull "Pinnacle," bred by Kniebel Cattle. They raise their cattle in the flint hills, on pasture and stalks all winter, no grain, no silage, may check them out. we bred to New Direction (from Genex) last year and again this year. He has an ME of -8, we are hoping he will...

We have tried to creep feed a couple different times and just couldn't get the calves interested in it at all. we have tried straight 12% sweet feed (thinking it would entice them in), and calf starter (an ADM product with a dairy calf on the front). one year we had half decent luck with the...

he has been getting a total of 20lbs of cracked/ground corn, 1lb of the MoorMan product, and probably 5# hay. He really hasnt been cleaning up the hay, so i just base what i give him off of whats left. He has been cleaning up the corn pretty well, leaves maybe a handfull or so in the tub. but...

how much of the aaok feed do i feed him per day? We have gotten feed mixed up at a local co op as well as a feed company. so i can compare some prices with them and the ADM feed. right now hes pretty much getting free choice hay. this spring we will be planting some pearl millet in our pens...

Thanks guys!! i was suppose to pick up a few bags of an ADM show feed today (I'm not sure which one it is) and i forgot. He was treated for lice with Cydectin and Cylence on March 2nd. Im thinking of treating him again, at least hitting him with some more pour on. I'll look up that feed mix and...
