What type of selenium products do you think work the best? I'm currently using Ranchway's Star Shine. Like calf manna but it has selenium in it. Thinking I need to find something else that is more concentrated?

This is my daughter's last year of 4-H. We have a spring shorthorn heifer that is really built thick and stylish but she doesn't have a ton of hair. Getting ready to start listing calves to sale but I wasn't sure if there are slick sheer heifer shows that someone would be looking for a heifer...

Is it appropriate to quote the old statement that says, "God helps those who help themselves"? No, I don't think illegal aliens should be able to stay. If they want to be here they need to go through the process that hundreds of thousands of other immigrants did, probably including your family...

how true is this! I'm a legal American citizen and I must show:  My ID when:     1.  Pulled over by the police.     2.  Making purchases on my department store credit card.    3.  When I show up for a doctor's appointment.   4.  When filling out a credit card or loan application.   5. ...

I've watched hours and hours of debates on this topic, read several articles etc and all I can go back to is why America and Americans have to bend over backwards for illegal aliens when almost every other nation in the world prosecutes and can send illegals to prison camps for years of hard...

We have a large, thick, big boned black and white shorthorn steer born in December. Lower legs are all white.  He's been on grain for several months, extremely tame and halter broken. Interested?

I laughed when I read this post. Made me think of a day this winter. Our driveway was icy and I had a hair appointment clear on the other side of town. I couldn't get up my driveway in my car. I slid back down just about running into our farm truck. I had to take a suitcase to my son for a trip...

Hi! Lexie had a bull calf last night around 9:00 unassisted. We walked into the barn and she was drying him off. Mother and calf are doing great and she loves her baby!!! Sire is RR Tommy Boy and Dam is out of KaBa Pokeman and Rose. Any name suggestions?????

When the vet was here on Friday she said she thought she would go into labor in the next 12 hours. That was three days ago!!! We even had a huge storm here last night that we thought might throw her into labor. The vet said her cervix was totally open on Friday, anyone see any potential problems...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of the help and suggestions. We did have the vet out yesterday. She said that the uterus is not twisted and she could feel a head, and the calf was alive. The cow's uterus was fully open. We are still just watching her. Nothing yet. The tissue ball only shows up when...

We have a cow who's due date is Sunday. She's very coned, teets are full. When she's laying down this is what we are seeing and we have no idea what it is. Last calf she had a twisted uterus and we had to take her to the vet to untwist. Anyone know what this is????

I now have a 3 week old granddaughter. I absolutely love holding her and spoiling her and the best part is handing her back to her momma and me being able to sleep through the night! Also, I have three kids in college. I couldn't imagine having to go to classes again, studying, writing papers...

We caught one of our best show cows and her calf in this picture. They look like they are in total bliss (lol)

I guess I am the only one representing Colorado so far. We live half way between Denver and Colorado springs on the Palmer Divide. We're about 7200 feet.

Our bull got our of his pen and bred some of his offspring. Tomorrow we are going to give shots of Lutalyse. Just wondering once the shots are given how long it takes the cow to cycle again? Thanks for the help!

Here's a picture of our back deck. I think we have over 18 inches now and it's still snowing hard.

Not sure which is worse, snow or rain,  both end up as mud :-\ Headed out to feed and plow. I just keep thinking moisture + sun = amazing pastures!!!!

Holy cow! We live on the Palmer Divide in Monument Colorado. We had 5 tornado sightings yesterday. Woke up this morning to about 10 inches of snow and have a winter weather advisory until 9:00 tomorrow morning!!! Only in Colorado!!!

My daughter took this picture of our PB shorthorn cow and her calf yesterday. Thought it was too cute not to share. The simple pleasures of life. Thank you god for springtime!!!

I was out of town for a week. Woke up yesterday morning and 3 of our calves had gotten out of the pasture and were standing/grazing at our back door. I think they missed me!
