my holstein cow has stepped on her teat and ripped it about a half inch up the teat and about a half inch though the teat. It riped through the teat canal so now she is leaking milk heavily through the rip. She did it last night and i covered it with gauze and adhesive tape to keep dirt from...
Im taking five brangus heifers and two bulls...hopefully there will be some other brangus there because we have a really nice may heifer that i think could stand up to some competition.
first one is on our familys ranch...my dad was bringing them up to a corral so we could castrate. other one is of my holstein 4h project cow and her two calves shes nursing...i posted pics of her and her calf on her a couple months ago. Enjoy!

the chino slaughterhouse is where we send our cull cattle.... there is an auction yard in chino that is where hallmark buys most of the cattle and then they are loaded up and sent across town to the slaughterhouse... when we sell our cattle we stay and watch them go through the sale and i have...
i do believe one does... her maternal sire is bob of brinks?? he was a bull from way back in the eighties... my dad showed brangus back then and thats the style of brangus he likes, ie tall and lots of leather, very brahman influenced. but over the years weve tried to bring down the frame size...
