    Ordinary Cows

    We have been blessed this year with rain in Wyoming, just got another good rain storm this afternoon. Normally we are dry and brown by now but this is the most rain I can remember ever having in the past 12 years I have lived in Wyoming. So everything is still really green and growing, our...

    Transport Questions

    Thanks Frostback, I transported this morning 48 hours past the AI. I think it worked out well as it was nice and cool this morning only being 52 degrees out when I transported them. They loaded up real nice without having to pressure them, so I have my hopes up that I will have good results as...

    Synchronized but no heat sign

    I agree with CAB, this year we timed AI but switched from Lute to Estrumate and had way stronger heats it seemed like to me. Just seen the cows riding each other way more then when we used Lute the last couple years, I really like what I have seen using Estrumate. I used the 7 day cidr synch...

    kelpies

    That video is spot on, I have a Kelpie that my wife brought home as a pup. She got it from a coworker that did not know the breed was, I did not know anything about them, I thought it was a German Shepard as a pup with it's coloring patterns and how her ears stood up. Anyway when she started...

    Aborting Pregnancy

    Ok, thanks guys. Does it mater with how far they are along, the longest is 14 days and the shortest is 3 days now since we last seen the bull, believe the neighbor moved him down the road farther in a different pasture.

    Aborting Pregnancy

    I had a neighbors bull we could not keep out of our pasture, kept jumping the fences to get to our cows over the past 2 weeks, was a daily occurrence to get him out and he would be rite back the next morning. Anyway I know I can give a shot of Lutalyse to abort any pregnancy which I plan to do...

    Generac GP7500E Generator

    I don't know about the 7500, I own the Generac 8500 and I love it. I run 3 blowers and clippers together with no problem. It is heavy but it is on wheels. I looked at buying a Honda but I could not justify the cost, so I bought the Generac 8500, Not as quite as a Honda but not that loud and has...

    Concept Aid Alternate?

    Thanks guys for your comments. I have been looking around for the amaferm, to see about just putting that in my mineral. I had been using purina mineral that I can get local. I can get the lick tubs with the amaferm from the one dealer but I also don't like not knowing what they have been taking...

    Concept Aid Alternate?

    I was going to use the Vita Ferm Concept Aid mineral this spring but the closest dealer is not carrying it, so the next closest dealer is just over 2 hours away. I wanted to see if anyone has used any other mineral that is like Concept Aid and has had good results. I just did not want to drive...

    Liquid Nitrogen Tank Questions

    I have an older MVE 20/20 tank, probably 10 years old (20 liter tank) that I have been using for almost 5 years now, bought it used but is still working great, I have been refilling it about every 4 months (120 days or so) to be on the safe side. Well I forgot about it for a little and almost...

    The Relationship Between Cow Size & Production

    You do bring up alot of valid points and would have to agree with them, you can sell the calves earlier on the heavier cows and do believe there probably would be some time type of drop off with feed with heavier cattle. As far as the 1,000LBS, I guess you could go lower, the gentleman I spoke...

    The Relationship Between Cow Size & Production

    Rick Rasby (Beef Specialist) from The University Of Nebraska put out an article in April 2013 which says on average a beef cow will eat 1.6 to 1.8 percent of her body weight in forage per day. So I am going to say 1.8 for me with colder temperatures. That would say that a 1,300LB cow would eat...

    The Relationship Between Cow Size & Production

    I would have to do a little research on the amount of hay a 1,000lb cows consumes in a year compared to the amount a 1,350lb cow consumes in a year. Here is this weeks cattle price from the Riverton Auction Barn. 522LB steers brought $207 a 100LB or $2.07LB while 601LB steers brought $189 a...
