I am curious, too, but couldn't find anything that said how he died. That is the only info I could find.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Joe Garretson, a professional bullfighter who won numerous awards in a career that spanned over the past couple of decades, died overnight. He was 37. Garretson has been recognized as one of the best protection bullfighters in the Midwest and qualified for the...

I know that feed rations have come up a lot, but I couldn't find anything specifically for calves. So, do any of you guys feed a different ration to your calves than you do with steers/bulls/cows? Like a grower ration? We need a good ration or premixed feed for calves (ours are about 6 months-1...

We had a goat that had lice and the vet recommended the Frontline Flea and Tick Spray for dogs and cats. We used it on the goat, a calf, and now another goat. It works great! Gets rid of them fast.

Here is a Pinzgauer that we had that had pretty unusual markings.

Very cute! Here is our newest addition, he is a 6 week old Pygmy/ Nigerian Dwarf cross.

That's a great idea, thanks. Good idea, those are things that are often overlooked.

We are doing a new thing with our 4-H club this year, everyone is going to lead a meeting. I chose to lead the January meeting on Animal (cattle) Health. I'm planning on going over vaccinations, when to give them, who gets what, maybe common illnesses/problems etc. I'm also planning on taking...

This is only my 2nd year hunting. I drew a youth tag for a special unit about 4 hours from here. We saw tons of deer, around 50 a day just in the unit. Most were white tail does, the only thing I couldn't shoot! We finally saw some bucks, 2 nice 3 point white tails but I couldn't get a shot at...

It sounds like it could be Malignant Catarrhal Fever, which could be possible if he has been around sheep, particularly young lambs. This link has a lot of info on the infection and signs/symptoms, http://agr.wa.gov/foodAnimal/AnimalHealth/docs/MCFNOV2008.pdf. The Merck Veterinary Manual also...

The Red Angus is about 450-500 pounds. The Charolais cross was born April 20th and is a little larger. The steers are not show animals. I only plan on raising one for our county fair, which is not very competitive at all.

I am still looking for a market steer. It's so hard to find one around here! I did find 2 that I like. One is a Red Angus/Shorthorn cross, born April 9th. The other is 3/4 Charolais and 1/4 Limousin (I'm not sure when he was born, but must be around the same time). The first weigh in is in...

I have been told SO many times to NEVER wrap the rope around any body part at any time. Well, last year I was working with a heifer that wasn't totally halter broke yet and she wouldn't walk. I stood there with her for a while and contemplated tying the rope around my waist. I really knew...

I listened to it after it was posted- great song! I really want the CD now, looked all over the internet and couldn't find anything. So as a last resort, I emailed Jared Tyler, he has some CDs left and will mail them.

I think we might order from Vista Print again, but I'm looking at other possibilities too. I looked at this place http://us.moo.com/en/, and they let you design your card and order 10 samples (that look exactly how the real ones will) completely free of charge.

We are going to be getting new business cards, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations of what company to use. Last time we ordered through Vista Print. I would like to customize them to a degree, but don't think I could design it all myself Any suggestions on good companies? Also...

We are in Oregon. Also, what are good ideas for marketing a steer and getting buyers in? It seems to all be politics, one steer went for $1.10 and another went for $4.75. I don't want to put a lot of hard work and money into it and only break even in the end...

I have always shown heifers at our county fair, and am now getting down to my last 2 years in 4-H. I am now really considering doing a market steer, but have no clue where to start. I looked at stall cards, and it looks like I need a calf born somewhere between January and March of this year. I...

I don't plan on letting the 10 year old help until she leads fine and is calm, can be petted, brushed, etc. This is a 4-H fair, so there are LOTS of people to help if we needed it, but I would rather have her well broke before we go, especially with a 10 year old handling her. I guess we'll see...
