    Feed room and the pet mice that live there.......

    If you have a safe place to put it; fill a bowl with Concentrated Antifreeze.  Animals like the taste of it and it is deadly!  Keep out of reach of children and pets.

    trying to get fill in heifer????

    This may not be right but, if you divide 30 by 5 you get 6lbs.  then multiply 6 by.75 and you get 4.5 lbs.  if you are feeding three scoops a day then you are feeding 13.5 lbs per day.  What does your heifer weigh?

    Daughter's Steer tries to take her ... any quick fixes?

    Thank you all for your input.  My wife and I have made an appointment at the locker.  I changed his name to "Freezer Filler" and this one won't make it to the fair grounds.  We are trying to get Madison over her fear of this one to hope for a better future.
