yes, dear you do have a problem. I found you on Facebook and you would appear to be about what I thought. you don't even know anything about me and yet you make rude and snide remarks.... that I am "isolated", therefore stupid, I presume? that the "river puts off some vibe...yadayada" I don't...

XBAR I toured the Katrina devastation..... I am not isolated. I've NEVER expressed any opposition to government assistance to devastation on these boards. What is your problem?

to BTDT---their cattle were their future in that they paid their bills and allowed them to make a living to make a future; there are several ranchers on suicide watch and one that has reportedly killed himself over this tragedy; they are so overcome with the devastation and the death and the...

Posted on Facebook by an affected rancher: "After the storm, we begin the job of trying to find the cattle. It became apparent that each live cow or calf was a joy. One did not have to look very far to see our loss and that of neighbors. We value the neighbors we have, their loss, the suffering...

Almost 100 bred females and cows with fall born heifer calves at side already pledged through Heifers for S. Dakota...... everything is being donated, trucking, vet inspection...I have heard of pot loads being put together in Nebraska and Montana and Oklahoma. If you give an animal, you may...

please continue to keep the affected ranchers in your thoughts and prayers... http://beefmagazine.com/business/cattle-death-toll-rises-atlas-blizzard-recovery-continues#slide-2-field_images-65922

What specifically caused the deaths? yes, no winter hair coats. started out with 12 hours of soaking rains, then turned cold with up to 70 mph winds and 2 additional days of very heavy snow the animals turned hypothermic some died by walking off cliffs, some became tangled in fences, some...

you may find several sites on Facebook... Heifers for S. Dakota Atlas Blizzard Ranch Relief and Aid here is probably the best story written that I have found yet... http://realamericancowboymagazine.com/2013/04/17/ryan-mcconnel-on-the-pbr-comeback-trail/

I hadn't been on this board for maybe a week; last week, we dealt not with snow here on the east side of the river but we did have 4+ inches of rain while our friends and neighbors in western South Dakota dealt with up to 55 inches of snow and wind.  Very, very sadly, the weather forecasts came...

if you are going to all the expense and the work to put in embryos, why wouldn't you want to give that ET baby the very best momma possible? We put our embryos into mature cows that can themselves produce replacement females or bull prospects; cows that milk well, breed easily, calve easily...

putting a couple Tblsp of liquid laundry soap will take down frothy bloat almost immediately; you put that down the stomach tube; tubing don't work with a frothy bloat. If you have a real emergency with bloat, you can take a large needle and punch the rumen and let the air out that way so the...

I just have to reply on this topic because it is one I feel so strongly about. Never, ever do we ever allow cattle prods to be used; our cows go up the same alley and the same chute probable up to 10 times a year for shots, worming, put in CIDERS, pull CIDERS, on and on.  They know for a fact...

don't believe anything will drain; LA200 is very abrasive and irritating to tissue; there is inflammation; it will go down in time. The rolling pin method sounds painful to me.

Anyone have results? Thanks

if you feed milk replacre and let the calf continue to nurse the cow be absolutely sure you get milk based replacer... it is more expensive than the soy or plant based but if you try feed anything other than milk based replacer and the calf is still getting some milk from the cow, the calf will...

betting you won't have the horrendous wind chills that we have here in South Dakota..... as said, wind break and they will just be fine; if you get the high amounts of snow they are forecasting, and wind and drifting, then you will have to watch for snow that gets drifted higher than fences...

you would need to run blood tests for all sexually transmitted diseases such as vibrio, lepto, those that you are vaccinating your cows for. you also have to have 3 consecutive clear blood tests for trich on a non-virgin bull that being said however, you could most likely buy a bull as you are...

we had twin shorthorn embryo calves born to a black Simmental cow; only way, only that could have happened was the two eggs in one straw.... they were a heifer and a bull; that's all it could have been!

Cowboy or any of you other long-time AI'ers.... how important, really is the "correct" temp of the water? back years ago, a guy that custom bred hundreds of cows for ppl each year, just popped a straw into his front shirt pocket and there it thawed while he got his other stuff ready; the...
