"we give a preventative 7-way colostridum shot to all our calves at about 7-10 days old." How do you catch them at seven days old?

A few years ago I had a bull laying around, not moving with the herd, and moving very gingerly when he did move. After week or so he started moving ok so figured whatever had been wrong was cured. A few weeks later I noticed him trying to breed and realized his "tool" was pointing sideways. Not...

Do you have better name or reg. #; nothing comes up when I search ASA sight for JBS Fringe

One point to keep in mind:  How many local tax dollars are generated or how many local people get a job when you buy on-line? How many employees of alice.com are buying your product?

Yes black calf is a product of neighbor; Electric fence shorted out and he went through 6 stand hi-Tensil; guess he thought shorthorns more appealing than the angus in his pasture!

I'm getting message that says cattle today sight has been reported as a "attack sight" for some spyware and I can't get in. Are others having this problem?

All the manufacture instructions say don't put them in ears of calves less than 3 months old. Has anyone put them in earlier? Any problems? Thanks

Who is handling his semen?

I moved cows to different pasture yesterday. Today I noticed  a couple of cows eating pine needles off limbs that  had blown off of a white pine tree. Any danger to this? Are they lacking something that would make the needles appealing. They shouldn't be hungry as there is some grass and rolled...

The %'s listed on the shorthorn website pedigrees changed drastically when they changed systems a year ago. Nearly all the bulls now state they are 100% shorthorn (just changed again to say 16/16). There are many animals that used to be listed as .875 or less that are now listed as 100%. I can...

excuse my ignorance: why aren't steaks from show steers tasty?

I'd like to hear from anyone who has had or familiar with calves sired by Major Leroy. Last year in the Cattle Vision catalog, he was listed with a BEPD of 2.1. I happened to recently check the ASA website and see that the BEPD is now listed as 5.2. I have some calves due in March. What should I...

What is the going rate for leasing?

#1)  the 2 year old is too young for Disney; wait until they are 6 & 10 and you will love it; whether you like amusement parks or not; it will be a thrill to watch the kids #2) I know you say you can't do "nothing"; force yourself to try it with your children and you will be surprised. My...

JBARL: Are you really advocating someone should go with out Health and auto insurance?

I can give arguments both ways as to small vs large schools (one child went small; other large and both did well). However do push him to get a four year degree. He thinks he knows what he wants but we all know things can change. If you have the four year degree there will be many more doors...

"irrational fear of a different skin color, a different name, an unfamiliar religion"  DL: it sounds as if you have listened to the media too much. I believe I'm like a lot of people. I have no problem with skin color, religion, or name. I do have a problem with card check, the fairness...
