    Crazy angus heifer

    From an old guy,  slow down.  They don't break in a day and the training goes on forever.  Young cattle don't like being by their selves,  and at a young age they need to figure out man brings feed, scratches his back side, and not a heck of a lot else.  If you need to start one that early,  put...

    Building New Showbarn

    Have seen this several times in the warmer places, I built ours with a roof with two slopes,  it leaves a 14 inch space at the peak, the north side taller than the south.  You get a draw on any air in the summer, the fans are not mandatory.  A fogger system on the south edge and is plenty if the...

    need to get rid of warts fast

    Put a little liquid nitrogen in a styrofoam cup,  pour about 2cc nitrogen into a tube that disposable syringes come in and turn it upside down over the wart.  You have to work fast but if you hold it on tight enough the n2 will evaporate, freezing the wart.  It doesn't stay on long enough to...

    heat and hair dont go

    Grew up where it's hot all the time.  Learned to rinse late and turn out wet, the cool of being wet is better than being dry and hot.  Had runs with a few trees,  put a lawn sprinkler in the top of the tree and let it run for a while.  You can figure out it will dry out during the heat of the...

    Need information on semen tanks and want to buy

    If you intend to get in the business and stay, go online, find a tank that will go 4 months between service's and buy it.  It will have 6 canisters, each holding 8 or so canes, so you have 500 plus straws.  If that ain't enough,  business's is way too good.

    Need Some Thoughts

    Paddy O and mossy oak looked good, didn't work too well.  Couldn't find a cow they worked on every time.  It was usable if you didn't have much else, but if the calf was good he was better than most.

    Forgive me, I tend to be of an older school,  take all the additives and forget them for a while.  Sounds like the gut was stressed to the limit and I know you want to push but try coasting for a few days the appetite might kick in, he could start attacking the feed rather than just eating. The...

    Breeding Help

    You need to decide what your goals and needs are first off.  Two heifers ain't gonna make you a large profit either way you go.  Are you going to be able to expand, are expenses going to keep you on a tight management basis? If like most you expand off of increase in the herd,  tend to be a lot...

    Gnrh is tough to screw up, regardless of what happens.  Don't make a habit of it but go on with what you were doing just like nothing happened.

    AI'ers please give me some confidence

    There will be a time when you do it without thinking. I've been at it for close to 50 years and you know where you are and what you have encountered and it's not something you haven't ran into before, maybe even carry on a conversation in the meantime.

    I'm not real smart on housing finance but,  how do you qualify for loans ( plural) when you are broke?.  Surely no one gave them an unsecured loan.
