Try a Kant slip nose lead,  heifer going to be a little awe struck at first,  but it may keep her from trying to run off.  Keep the nose lead a little more taunt than the halter.  Second choice,  tie the heifer halter to the biggest, tamest, old show heifer you have, tie the halters together...

You should be ok for maybe 5 seconds give or take.  If there are multiples of the same bull, put the straw you inspect in another cane if possible,  and use that straw in an emergency, in a cow in a marginal heat or something,  just don't count on it for a cow in a must get bred situation if you...

Id be digging into her past , why did she abort, what kind of cow was her mother and grandmother,  did they breed back regular, no signs of hard breeding, slow breeding, and such.  If the fertility is there and no signs of problems or difficulty, go on,  probably wont be anything to slow you...

Worst thing in the world is a cow with a full belly, on a trailer and a bouncing ride home.  Gets home hungry, eats, and then digestive system is full and then some.  Takes a while to empty out and get going again.  Best thing to remember about feeding, in a time of stress, 1/2 feed  is always...

One of the main causes of sickness you describe is over feeding, over watering, over doing about anything.  Activity level goes down at a show, so the feed requirement is not as great,  he over eats and all of a sudden calf don't feel so hot.  You get home and want to get back to full feed and...

Don't know where you are but,  most feed stores have a wound spray,  mostly purple in color, in the south still have a screwworm spray,  don't take but one dose, it's not a pain causing deal and will get rid of your problem.

Don't know your soil type but,  we pull a shank with a 4 inch ball behind it,  it will leave a tunnel that will drain your wet spot and not dent your wallet.  We do it every other year and seems to work all right,  the tile will plug with trash and dirt sooner or later

Make at least 3 a head a day on just the feed.  You need 10 a day on pen space,  10 a day to rinse and brush. 30 to 50 cents a mile hauling, and pro rate the road expenses among the cattle.  Probably left out some but now you have a start

Back in the old days if you wanted to see a lesson or two on the ins and outs,  Joe Lewis and D T Carter could and would give some new or not so new "smart a** know it all"( their description, not mine) a real workout in the ring.  The fore said victim usually left the ring looking like he had...

Tractor ain't the way,  go get he biggest gentlest old show heifer and tie the two together by the halter.  Put both on the same side and dare him to try and run off with her.  When he figures out he can't run off he will give it up.  The show heifer will make him circle just don't get between...

Raise a few bulls, trying to add a some heifers, we are in a part of the country where we can have 6 inches of rain in a year and then 2 feet the next.  Have a few reds, used a red bull from genex, viceroy,  double bred 036, have 15 daughters,  and am real happy with them. Milk, get bred in...

Raise a few bulls, try

Trying to find if there are any red angus left in the country.  Wildcat creek selling out, having a hard time finding a bull to use, have been using several angus bulls and working on a breeding up deal.  Can anyone shed some light on the reds?

I would bet cause they be mean sob's

I've used cattle visions, sek, and genex.  Have never had a problem, genex has helped on sexed semen for a 4h. Dairy heifer project,  priced it to help out some kids and been did it more then once.  Selection on clubby bulls might not be the widest but they still tried.  Don't have any good on...

You can get colustrum replacer at the feed store, I'd use it yesterday,  The big calves tend to be a little lifeless,  sugar, raw egg, anything in the milk to add energy is part of the program to get him motivated,  I have used a shot of whiskey to help out.  A bit of ban amine won't hurt,  a...

Don't know what bull You are looking at but unless the stud collects it themselves,  quality is the least of your worries.  And if they do, they have been there a long time, if quality was a problem, you would have heard rumors.

Head and ears won't pass

There are some good calves out of the settler bull on several places around here,  would be worth your time to look. 

  Some one woke up on the wrong side of the feed bunk this morning.  A ban amine fizz will make it all better.
