    We have a set of twins due in the next couple weeks.  The due date is July 3rd (after subtracting embryo age).  (These are lowline calves in a recip cow.)  Does the cow normally calve on time/close to due date or do they tend to come early?  They're in a cow that's had a couple embryo calves...

    Fly Ear Tags?

    Here in the northwest fly season is fast approaching.  We've already had a few nice days and I noticed tons of flies on all the cattle's faces.  We usually put dust bags up around the water tanks, then panel it off so they have to walk under them to get water.  We tried a body rub but it's just...

    Replacement fence charger

    Can anyone recommend a good 110v fence charger? I have a old one that still works and has a audible feature that you can tell if it is working or is shorted out. I have bought 2 new ones that make no noise and you can't tell if they are working, as a matter of fact one stopped working and the...

    Cattle photographer for northwest show next month

    I'm trying to find a photographer for a show next month in Puyallup, WA.  It's at a spring fair and the fair doesn't supply one.  In the past we've had one of our members take the pictures and they've been okay.  It would be nice if we could get a professional taking pics since they'll be posted...

    Weird objects found in your feed

    I was feeding the cattle this morning, grabbed a couple flakes and heard a thump.  Didn't think much of it (okay, so I wasn't quite awake yet).  When I went to grab a couple more flakes I saw a baseball laying next to the hay.  It got me thinking about what other weird stuff has been found in...

    Special thanks to Justin Olson!

    We just wanted to thank Justin for helping us at the stock show.  He showed up at our pen just as I was getting ready to wash cattle (took 11, had 9 left to wash).  He helped blow out cattle - I washed and he dried (sounds like dishes, huh?).  Then he showed up the next day just in time to show...

    our Christmas present

    Look what we found this morning!  He was just outside the pen lying in the only dry spot around.  Not sure if you can see the snow just outside the pen, which is very unusual for us here in the northwest!  Mom did a good job getting him warm and dry under very tough conditions.  One thing we...

    Hauling a grooming chute

    I would like to see or hear how you all haul your grooming chutes. Do you pack it inside your trailer or attach to the outside? Did you make brackets to do this? I have a Wilson 24'GN that is riveted and it's easy to grind off the rivet head and replace with stainless nuts and bolts. I'm tired...

    Wash Rack

    I'm thinking of installing some metal posts, like a 4 inch round pipe about 36 inch's back from the tie up point, to keep the cattle from swinging around when I wash them. Is this a good idea?

    Showing in Montana?

    With the recent outbreak of brucellosis in Montana would anyone be leary of showing cattle, specifically bulls, in this state? We have several bulls we were thinking of shoing at the NILE in Billings but have been warned it's probably not safe to take non-vaccinated cattle.  All our heifers are...
