Grew up in that neck of the woods.  Lost many friends and an uncle  between Sept. 11 and the prior attempted attack on the WTC.  I'm all about religous freedom and tolerance, but common decency (something in short supply these days) would suggest that this plan is hurtful to the families and...

Yup ... that is what he does.  He did hurt a front leg this past spring (stepped in a hole).  Hope it won't affect ability to breed.  Thanks

Sorry to hijack the thread.  What does it mean when an animal dog sits?  Our new ram has been doing that a lot... and he was expensive!!!  What should I be getting checked out (or should I have before purchase)?

Probably spelled it wrong, but it was suggested to add some milo to my daughter's heifer's feed.  What is this?  Anyone with any experience with it?  The heifer needs to develop a more "cowy" look.  Already feeding beet pulp and full tank.  Heifer is not a fan of either.

We have actually moved show calves from home (where it is convenient to have them) to a show barn where there is a lot more unpredictable activity.  Also know someone who moved their calves to a riding stable.  Having kids, strollers, visitors, etc. around for several weeks is very helpful.  We...

I know if you type it into the search feature on here that you will get all the info you need.  Good luck

As I understand it, from friends in the industry, part of the problem is no one wants the platforms close to shore.  As a result, the companies have obviously over estimated their abilities to work in these great depths. I just hope the relief wells work very soon.

92 degrees, not too much humidity for Houston, but we could use some rain.  The cracks are starting to open up in the pastures.  Pretty soon I'll be able to see through to China!  Can't believe I'm wishing for rain after the wet winter we had, but it doesn't take long to bake off around here.

Your lucky... the fitters edge is closer to $15 a bag around us.

Good luck on the herdsman.  We won a couple of years ago.  It's a lot of work.  I think that year we had something like 28 heifers there.  Not going for it this year from what I understand.  Dani and I will look for you/ your heifer tommorrow.

Glad your heifer is well for Houston Stangs13.  No more problems with her legs?  I assume you are stalling with Friendswood FFA.  I know our flushmate to yours will be with Pearland FFA and another flushmate will be with Manvel FFA.  Good luck.

I appreciate the debate.  And have decided to use safeguard for now... lambing should begin in the next week or so and last about a month.  On a related note, had the kids' 26yr old mare in at the vet this morning as she has been colicy all weekend.  Fecal showed a high worm load (combined with...

I read the label on my cydectin and it doesn't say it can be used during gestation... it also does not kill tapeworms.  Tried searching on sheep sites.  Nothing consistent.  Guess I'll try to reach Pipestone Vet. phone line around my students Monday morning.Thanks anyway

Does anyone on here know if there is a dewormer for Pregnant Ewes that will take care of tapeworms? Valbazen kills tapes, but it is not safe during pregnancy until 30-45 days after lambing and these gals would like this problem taken care of before 3 months goes by.

We have a SP heifer that has been preforming well in the showring.  Had some concerns about what to breed her to (mostly because of things I read on here about the big calves he produces).  Was told by someone who has used him a lot that he thinks thebig calves seem to be happening "up North" as...

Our fair allows kids to sell one of each type of market animal (must be the highest placing one if more than two in a category) ... lamb, pig, goat, steer, broilers, and turkeys... they may also sell one "commercial heifer" and "commercial pen of 3).  Yes, some kids go through more than once...

Thanks for the clarification

Sorry you won't be there.  Is she still banged up from the Ft. Worth trip?  Heading to the breeder soon?  Stardust will be heading there right after SA?  She's looking good right now.  Was clipped Wed.  Hopefully the ride over goes smoothly.  Last year we had a blowout in the middle of the...
