So we had a heifer calf out of a first time heifer. She was a big calf...too big but she's here. Cow had trouble getting up at first but gets up now still doesn't move perfectly occasionally falls....definitely some nerve damage. But the calf is strong but can't seem to stand by itself. We can...

So we get our feed from a long ways away because we can get it real cheap. We usually save some of the old feed to mix with the new to get them started on the new batch. This time we ran out and had not an ounce left when we got the new stuff here. To top it off they had to change and...

So we raise our own calves to show at county fair. We are trying to pick my daughters show steer for next year.  We like this calf for a lot of reasons but he seems to have a hump in his loin. If it is a structural thing that is going to lead him to walking bad I would rather stay away from it...

I have a short Amen x Angus heifer that needs a little frame and a cleaner front end. She has lots of power and hair. I was thinking Mercedes Benz would he do these things? What other suggestions do you all have?

So what exactly do they need to DNA test (Hair, Blood)? Then what can that tell you? Parentage? Can it tell you a percent of each breed? Then I assume once you have tested an association will take those results an let you register if your animal meets the qualifications? Just curious never sent...

What are some of the best online auctions you all have had experience with? The reason I ask is I had found one I was interested in and then I forgot what it was? Work does not allow me enough time to play! (lol)

A 4-h member in our county has a steer that he is really working hard with but cannot get the hair to train. He rinses and combs and has been using a mane and tail conditioner. As soon as the heair dries it lays down, he has tried rinsing and blowing and as he blows it and it dries it lays down...

I might be too late, but I was wondering if there was anyone that could haul two cows from NW Indiana to Denver? If anyone is able please call me at (505) 235-9605. Thanks

I have some cows that are pretty small framed. They are deep bodied, but could use some thickness and frame. What clubby bulls would add some frame and thickness to hopefully make some clubby calves? On the same note what are some clubby bulls I should stay away from with these already small...

Does first calf heifers milk production get better? For example if she calved for the first time this year and her milk was ok, but not great is there a chance of it getting better next year?

Dear Friends of Extension, Disproportionately deep funding cuts could be passed in the next 20-30 days that would devastate Extension programs serving your family, including your 4-Hers, and your community. We understand the need for belt tightening. But, proposed federal budget cuts would slash...

Then the stories you here about the competition in the club calf world etc. etc...I really did not expect people...
