Hi, I've been feeding a yearling angus heifer for show. Currently I'm giving her 10 pounds or so of purina beef mash with some soybean mixed in for the extra protein. I want to put some more cover on her, and I was just curious as to how to go about doing it. I was thinking of mixing either...

Hello everyone, I was hoping that I could get some advice. This is our first year raising and feeding a bull calf, so I was interested in what he should be getting nutrionally. He gets hay, and for the last while i've just been feeding him a beef mash thats only 13% protein. He's growing, but...

Thanks vcsf. And congratulations worthabit, good luck with the new bull.

Does anybody know how the sale went? I meant to watch it but got busy fixing the water up on the farm. What was the average? And does anybody know what lots 3,5 and 6 went for? The  cattle looked good in the sale book.

Hi everyone, I had a question about embryo transplants. How does the whole process work? I've been thinking of buying some frozen ones in plugging them into a couple of cows, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to do, or how the process works. Could anyone help me?

Hi, I know that ring worm can be transmitted through halters and show combs, but is it possible that it also can be spread through the use of clippers? I only ask because I have read forums on here that say that Fluid Film is a good way to kill ring worm, so I was just wondering if the oil on...

We run a small cow calf operation with 25-30 commercial angus cross cows, with a couple show cows as a hobby. Were in Nova Scotia, and we all work off the farm.

Aside from that high tailhead, I really like her. It looks like she's standing on a good pair of legs. I hope she does well!
