there were some awsome, i mean really cool heifers on that sale last fall, wish i could could afford them! JWW

the only issue with buying frozen colostrum fro mthe dairy is the antibodies in the milk are specific to that dairy, not to your herd, if the dairy is next down then you'll probably have similar strains of pathogens the cows are immune too, but if not you can one type of Ecoli and the milk has...

call the vet, most often they are cut out, the vet can also diagnose to make sure that is what you have and can implement some strategies to prevent them. JWW

environment is huge, if you have the place then use it. Dr. Smith from the Univeristy of Nebraska developed the "Sandhills Calving Operation" - basically you have multiple calving pastures, all the bred cows are in pen one and after two weeks of calving, move the cows that have NOT calved to...

Stands Alone is an Open Bar- he was on display at Denver, i really liked him alot

if she is kicking malicously and you know when she is going to to do it, use a metal pitchfork- she will kick hard only once or twice. cattle are creatures of habit and they feel pain assoicated with kicking so they will quit. JWW

used quite a bit of him on a variety of cows  ( most were super deep and moderate), he sure isn't like the Teddy bull for sure ( won agribition a few years ago) The bulls calves start out kinda iffy and then at a bout 10-12 months old really turn it on and become a good looking bull, they have...

i got a 3 yr old nephew that loves walking out and petting some old show heifers, the last time he and i went out, the bull was breeding a cow, and he goes "Look !! he climbing! he's getting higher!!"  i about fell over, can't wait to embarrass him when he gets older about it lol JWW

Gigli Utrecht headache fire escape (should be a red bull) Sidewinder corporation

you can find a decent footed cull cow and load her full of androgens and she'll ride anything in heat, some work better than others- but that cow is no longer useful as a breeding piece, so its an option if you or a neighbor have a cull cow around-- a gomer bull would work better though JWW

it was taken between fairbury and falls city nebraska (south central - south east), rough gree nscore it was 2.5 BC points higher than the state racord, of course it has to dry first for official scoring. there is an older post about deer hunting that this was posted in including the Lincoln...

3C Macho- give you some hip, little bit of bone and maybe a blaze face , would be registerable as a half blood simmental JWW

didn't relize my joking little comment would erupt like that.... lol - cloned animals are allowed in the food chain. - we might actually find that next great Dream On son will emerge now, since the price of semen is shot up (and probably go up another $50 by March), he will only be bred to the...

jbh - just playing devils advocate  ;D  , i am not a big fan of the cloning deal either. agreed the IDT are very consistent probably going to order 20 more units this year, probably going to get some Amigo too- saw him win at iowa state fair and Denver and he looked awsome both times. did...

the part that upsets me the most is how CMT running 60 - 90 sec ads for the welfare and care of abuse and neglected animals, and you can pledge $20/month. I was NCBA last summer and one of the hottest topics was how to combat the powerful budgets of HSUS and PETA, consider that HSUS's budget is...

old gravity wagon put in a corner of the shed, get it filled by the coop truck (for mixed rations) or by one of our auger wagons (for corn). works great usually can find a cheap one on old farm sales JWW

all is true---- heard from the ABS rep just a sec ago FYI- In Dew Time is probably going to replace him, being homo black, amigo will also get some looks so when is the Dream On clone going to come out??  ( ;D JWW
