    Extremly loose stool

    We had the same problem last year and we were also feeding HSC Finisher.  We were feeding two steers and one was fine and the other could shoot it through a screen door!  We did everything we could think of and finally the only thing that helped him was being on more complete feed and less hay. ...

    Dandruff

    Diamond M.., If your steer has actual Dandruff in the clinical sense it is actually a fungus and needs to be treated like a fungus.  If the calf has dry flaky skin (not clinical Dandruff) than that is obviously a different issue.  If it is actual dandruff you may consider using a antifungal wash...

    Tiny Tim - Pee Wee

    Tiny Tim - Pee Wee

    Ok this may not be the big numbers of major consistency answer you have been looking for, but I can tell you that we had a Tiny Tim out of an average Hard Core heifer this past spring and he is the best little calf that has hit dirt at our place.  We have always had higher birthweights in our...

    Yardley Sale

    No prob.  Yeah, they looked like a nice bunch of cattle at a real reasonable price for most of them.  I have never been able to make it to their female sale I think next year I am going to have to rearrange some things and make it a priority.

    Yardley Sale

    These were just some of the highlights.  Everything in between went for a reasonable price.  Lot 31 (the cow calf pair) the cow sold for 4,000.00 and the calf went for 3,950.00.  They offered them both at double the hammer price and they wound up selling them separately. Lot 1 - 11,900.00 Lot 2...

    Focus on the Female

    Sparty-on, I went to their bull sale in March and I have watched the female sales in the past.  There was a lot of people at the bull sale in March and I think that is probably pretty typical.  They have nice cattle and they are really nice people.  From what I can remember it seemed like when...

    What Angus bull...?

    We are looking for a good Angus bull to breed to our old school clubby bred female to.  She is Maine, Shorthorn, Chi and a touch of Angus.  She is getting up there in years and we want to try and get at least one more replacement out of her that would be able to raise some steers.  She needs...

    You know you are from a small town when .......

    All these stories make me want to move  :(  Our town used to be one of those small towns, but we were fortunately part of a big oil boom and our small town is no more.  I guess it is a give and take, but I would prefer the small town again.

    Feeding Arsenic

    Disclaimer: I know nothing about feeding this product to animals that are produced FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, but really?  I can see it being used under the care of a vet for a serious problem, but not by some fitter who thinks he is a vet in order to grow hair, or for whatever the other side...

    bulls

    I am going to play both sides of the fence here.  I can see your point CarleyE.  There are probably some cows out there that should be just commercial cows and there are probably some that should have been dinner, but who are we to decide what someone else does with their cattle.  On the other...

    excused absences

    We have the same rule in our district.  They excuse absences for illness, or family matters, nothing else.  In our family we do 4-h, we hunt, we have a very active life as most people on here probably do.  Who is the school to say when and why my children can be absent.  On the "unexcused...
