We are looking for 5 open yearling replacement heifers.  Maines, Angus, Simmi crosses or POSSIBLY a few Hereford heifers.  We are located in IL. Thanks!

Vacanballs I wish I thought you were kidding.  I have raised cattle for almost 30 years, 65 plus cows, and have never had to resort to hitting, shocking, or kicking a first calf heifer or a cow to get them to stop kicking their calf.  I have not been successful in getting a cow to accept a...
