So, are all the girls enjoying Houdini-etta and the new found freedom she has brought????  I'll be looking for the next installment of the saga.....

We have never had to treat one for hardware...what are the symptoms? Haven't been able to check the cows for a good week with all the rain and mud and yesterday noticed one cow had lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. She is going on 11 years old but has been fine all summer. Looked...

are you talking about a protein pellet? Our feed mill puts it in our feed and we like it but haven't tried anything else.

Do any of you use field peas in your ration? If so, is there a limit on what percentage of the ration it can be? My cousin is growing them and wanted us to try them as literature says they are an excellent source of protein and great mixed in a ration. So, we gradually have switched our feeder...

I need some advice from my fellow planteers....I have been using at home a concoction of zoom bloom/kleen sheen/infusium 23 and vinegar and I like the way the hair is training and it is shiny and conditioned. However, it is not good for clipping, the hair is too heavy and doesn't give that pop I...

Football, cool crisp mornings and no more mowing the lawn!!

To me a complete heifer with lots of positive traits.

We'll be there for the Braunvieh Show, Monday - Weds....wish we were later so we could see some of you guys!

Do you use a grinder on them or rasp?? What is the best way if you don't have a chute to lay them on their side?

Am looking for a ride for a few bulls from Texas Panhandle to Midland Bull Test in Montana. The bulls need to be there by Sept 26. Thank you!

$20/hd, they were heifers.

way to go!!! Nice heifer.

Something that came up with my son at our county fair that we have not covered or experienced --  What to do when someone else's calf gets loose in the showring.  I'm glad he was too interested in what he was doing to freak out!

I was just curious to know what you all use for your first ration to give calves at weaning. We offer cane hay and oat hay and the grain is a mixture of cracked corn, oats, soybean meal, a pellet (with rumensin) and molassess to cut the dust. They seem to love  but am not sure it is the best for...

Has anyone read it? Would you recommend it?

Does everyone give a penicillin shot when castrating calves at weaning age or older? We have banded for years and this year tried banding plus using the newberry knife to slit the sack to see if things sped up. It did dry up quicker but still took a good 3 weeks to fall.

Our fair only gives ribbons. I have gone to horse shows that give our prizes such as brushes, fly spray, hoof black, lead ropes, small buckets, feed pans, etc.

I think a lot of things factor in to when people wean. For us, it depends on the grass situation, when we put up our silage and our schedule! In a perfect world, we wean at about 6 months. We don't show much and this is when we have the best time of year for weaning. However, in drought years we...

Our breed is doing their National Bull Test there this year, so we hope to have 120 head on test.  I have heard it is an amazing place so I am very excited to give it a try. SD--yes, I am sending 2 Oz calves.
