Please don't be offended, this is one mans opinion. I just bought a pair of mucks for my son, and had intended to get a pair for myself before deer season. However if hsus is the united states humane society, then I have bought my last pair of mucks and you are right we need to spread the word...

Hey Devin, you have a lot of resources here in Edgar county, I'm not sure how old you are but even more so if you are a kid. Almost all of the producers around here will bend over backwards to help young people. give me a call if I cant help you with the heifer ill get you in touch with someone...

we have had good luck with sexed semen, however we never have used it on a heifer. the semen is so much more expensive and some heifers are hard to breed. as disappointing as it is to miss one if you feel that this is your last chance to breed her to keep her in line you may want to put her in...

We use vitamen B thiamine, 30 min or so before going in the ring. the vet told us that most animals that act crazy were deficient in thiamine. he also said we couldn't overdose them. it comes in a 50 cc bottle for 6 or so dollars. give it orally and have a good hold on them because they don't...

I agree with Oh breeder even with the price, to have a quality simmi bull that is very consistant in his calving ease and calf quality if your dead set on simmi he is probably as good as any. As for the 85 pound calf, that's not that uncommon even with dream on don't forget he is a simmi but his...

I love these Wizard calves, i have a red baldy out of a blue roan sunseeker cow, she hit the ground at 65 lbs and has really grown. i have a black bull/steer out of a red heat wave who made who that has done the same. Ive been told that they wont get big enough but they are sure growing now. I...

I agree she wont grow out of it and if she has enough milk so as to not short her calf then you have a good problem. If it starts to pull the cow down or if her calf is bawling because its hungry the only thing you can do is seperate them. You will be glad you have her the first time you have a...

these are all great ideas, and what ever works best for you is what you should do. we take our lariat over the cows back and just in front of her tit's put the catch or loop up high on the opposite side that your going to stand and gently pull tight. to much pressure the cow will fall down not...

How would you find someone dead heading back to Kansas or Oklahoma?

We have an abundance of hay here in IL. how can we get hay to some area in need, so that the price is fair on both sides? Rich 217 251 3710 text or call if you need round bales or have any ideas.

Does anyone have the prices that were paid for the simmy calves ( all heifers, bulls and breds) in the Ky beef expo?

I agree with Chandler, extra protine turns to waste. If the floor in his pen is concrete or just a real hard surface that can cause the hocks to swell.

Hey folks, thanks I am trying to find one and turned down a couple minies, I may need to go back and get one.

It is cool to here all the different views. Ponder this, who owns the family farm today? There was 12 acres that just sold in Edgar county IL. this week that brought 8300 per acre.This was not great, but gust a little better than average.  Now this ground was actually purchased by a farm family...

    Hey Ranke, I found a video on youtube last nite. The ol boy had a saddle type system and he left about five feet between the donkey and the calf.  The way he had the saddle on on the donkey it had a strap in front of the front legs, under the chest and around the ass and it didn't move...

thanks for the info.

Knabe, the price of most of the donkey's I have scene have been from 50 to 350 so price isn't really the problem. It would seem finding the right size and temperament is the problem. I have always broke our calve and have broke two out of three this year and if I don't find a jenny I will get...

Looking for info, need info on the halter system and any info on breaking the donkey or teaching the donkey to break a calf.

I found an article in a short horn magazine requesting you contact Dr. Beever at the U of I or some one at the U of Neb.  I have a Jake's Proud Jazz calf with one hoof doing the same thing, ( the hoof turns inward not forward or backward like it does when it is a tendon)  They are leaning...
