    new camera update

    I bought it at Walmart. Jack's does have the 18-200 lenses used for $250. Might look into that after I see how existing lenses is. Yes, Dori it's the Nikon 40D.

    Birth weight question

    we try to weigh within 6 hours. Usually wait until calf is close to gates & grab. I'm lucky though, we don't have any cows here that will charge you. Farm has some mean ones though. Red

    Stealing Justintime's idea....Is there such a thing...

    if an animal is structurally unsound it can't make it to feeder & thus no pounds. We do need to keep in mind that these are supposed to be market animals & potenial breeding stock. Too much bone creates calving problems. But give me my ground sow anyday. I'd love to have a dozen of her. I look...

    sorry if this grosses anyone out. Why is it that some cows eat the afterbirth & others never touch it (heeler loves those cows)? I have some that just gobble it down. seems to always be the same cows. Any thoughts on why they do it? Red

    ear tags

    the farm tags are orange & am sure that doesn't matter squat! We don't tag our own cattle. Too few to mix up. We did sell to a family a calf that was tagged Jake (herd bull). The boy's name was also Jake & I think he really thought that was neat. Red

    Help-semen agreement issue
