    steer planet quiets my baby girl!

    ours has cf, and she screamed in pain all night for 4 weeks until she was diagnosed. Taking them out on a car ride helps and does wonders. Just leave them in the carseat when you are done so you don't wake them up. good luck

    B.C. Marathon on Heifers?

    That would spook you away from using a bull. The distributor sent the seman I had ordered to the wrong Technician and the cow was in heat, so I had to pick a bull on the spot, and using what the tech said, we used structure. Really small calves out of heifers though.

    B.C. Marathon on Heifers?

    wow, I have had three (out of simmy cross cows) and I doubt any of them were over 60 lbs. My dad asked if the cow farted and the calves came out. These were cows that have never seen anything other than green pasture and grass hay though, so they weren't overly fat (not saying yours are) and...

    B.C. Marathon on Heifers?

    We had an 80lbs raven calf out of a simmental cross cow a few years ago. Unless I wanted to throw money away (and cows), I would not take that risk with marathon. G13 Structure is awesome on heifers though.

    cow family

    I was told that it is harder to stick a clubby/maine cow than it is to stick a more conventional crossbred female (simmental angus x is what we use).  We use that breed mixture and have had good success with AI. A friend of mine who breeds my cows had horrible stick rates on his maine females a...

    opinions on this heifer liked/dislikes what you would change

    I do not have permission to post the following letter, I just found it to be rather "inspiring" considering it hits on a sensitive topic. It would be neat if we could start a movement. My praises go out to Kacie Killen. This was posted to my friends FB page;  Below is my letter I just sent...

    Vote against hsus....

    Thanks for the votes, it is neat to see so many people voting on an internet topic that might actually help out. When you spend a bit of time in a childrens hospital you see some terrible things happening to little babies, so I know it could be worse. They are on the brink of coming up with a...

    Vote against hsus....

    my daughter has cf and they are now closer to a solution than they have ever been. I really encourage everyone to vote. I did talk to a pepsi rep and he was shocked that the number one spot was about cats and dogs. His response was that it is supposed to be about education, etc. and he is going...

    Black Limmis vs Maines?

    doubled muscle and the typical "tubey" appearance occurs in Limmo's. They do seem to have a better feed conversion and better structure than the maines though. It is just a personal preference, this is what I have seen, it is not true for everything. I think that with limmos if you breed to a pb...

    High School bullying - NC

    You as a teacher can also use the "snear" face when one does something you disapprove of. Kids do not liked to be looked down on by adults, and what are they going to say, you made an ugly face? That argument is completely speculation and they can't win that battle. You can also retaliate with...
