Hey JoeBnTen, Take a compliment any time you can get it, they are hard to come by! In 1983 I was 'passing gas' as my REAL job. I was not showing cattle but I had approx. 30 purebred Charolais cows and approx 70 Charolais pb and Angus cross cattle in the feedlot. Raised my own corn and oats and...

I have red headed and black headed vultures around here. The black headed ones showed up about 5 years ago in my area of SW Ohio. The Ohio Dept of Ag sent out fliers describing them and warning about them killing calves, lambs, fawns, etc. I had several of them sitting on top of one of my barns...

I posted before that Doc not only gave me phone numbers for motels in Nashville (for the Tenn. State Fair) but went to the Red Roof Inn and checked it out for me. Well, my old 1999 Ford F250 gasoline truck with 166,000 + miles started acting up Fri night on the way back to the motel. I said...

Bulldogg, I have a March 10 son of Durango. He is a roan and is very hairy. Do not have a picture taken of him since May but he is thick. He was weaned Aug 21 and weighed 596#. He is started on grain and has had his first set of vaccinations. Will be dewormed this week and castrated Sept.12...

I forgot to mention.... If my math is correct lots 1 thru 7, the Fool cow family, sold for $186,750. Not bad for an old cow buried in Texas. Malinda

Sorry it has taken me so long to post but have been running around. The heifer has been sold. The first young man that looked at her will be taking her home. She stays in Ohio. I promised to post her weaning weight. No creep, but I did get those calves started on grain for two weeks prior to...

Hey aj, I'll provide the shovel and you can go to Texas and dig Nobody's Fool up and test her carcass. I think that will be the only way to make sure you get a good night's sleep. Just kidding! It was good to see Doc again. He said he went to visit his Baja bull while he was at Cates'. My...

Just thought of something. I can make one phone call and have a box of 100 syringes and a box of 50 needles delivered by UPS, no questions ask. But, for the folks that are insulin dependent, they have to have a prescription for the needle/syringes and then sign a form at the pharmacy. Make any...

Thanks to everyone for their responses/suggestions. Sure glad I'm not trying to ship across the border. The plot has thickened: I tried to ship EZ All It's Gone to a customer/friend in Maine today. I did not have a box the correct size, so I decided to go to the UPS/Fed Ex office, get the box...

There are lots of cows that have left their mark, but Nobody's Fool has left the biggest influence in my pasture. There is a Proud Fool walking out to pasture that I can see out the wondow right now. Malinda

Hey aj, fROM THE HORSES MOUTH...... The TH and PHA testing for the Cates sale is all in except for one cow. So far, only the blue roan appendix female ( a Double Stuff) has come back as a TH and PHA carrier. Malinda

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Doc went above and beyond the call of duty. He found me a motel only 3 miles away from the fairgrounds with good eats near by, a handicap room and they take dogs. By 'found' i mean he even went there to talk with them and check it out. Now that's southern...

Hey aj, I posted before that DZ is TH and PHA free. SHe is a Nobody's Fool granddaughter. That only affects lot #1 but FYI Malinda

DL, Thanks for straightening me out on the 'pre treatmaent'. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Malinda

I draw blood samples on my cows for DNA/TH/PHA and pregnancy checks and mail them to the companies. We have a new postmaster at my local postoffice and he is an overachiever. He told me the last time I sent blood samples that he would never let me do it again until I contacted the Dept of...

Hey Doc, The reason I said I would TH/PHA test her is because I have run into people that doubt pedigrees. I have owned several Martindell cows over the years and have found CF and his family to be honorable, honest, hard working people. I do not doubt her pedigree, but am willing to test her...

I am located about half way between Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. She has not been out of the pasture yet. I just started showing them some grain a few days ago. I will get her TH and PHA tested. I am personally not going to be able to halter break her; have two surgeries looming that will...

Thanks ShowmanQ. I was too computer illiterate to figure out how to post both the pic of the calf and the pic of the cow on the same post, so ShowmanQ helped me out. I did not mention TH and PHA, but I will get her tested. I will try and get some more recent pics in a few days and will post...

I happened to think of another reason to use caution in using antibiotics. Humans and our bovine friends have normal flora. I'll call normal flora bugs that were put there to prevent sicknees/disease. They are in our noses, mouths, on our skin, etc., etc. They act as a first line of defense...
