You might be surprised how many young they kill. Bust up a group of a sow and her piglets and she will run to survive. The piglets are on their own. https://feralhogs.extension.org/natural-predators-of-feral-hogs/

what are you wanting to plant?

You have to learn to live with them like any other varmint. Kill off their natural predators like bobcats and coyotes will only make the problems worse. Like buzzards, take a shot at them even if they are to far to hit to let them know they are being hunted. Folks using deer feeders are your...

Losing 10% over 24 hours is very possible with a large fleshy animal with a rumen full of green grass. Unless he was penned alone those big bulls are in constant motion at the sale barn trying to establish themselves and/or trying to breed anything that will let them. I know its not...

A lot of our sale barns don't have the pen space or the people to sort calves properly to sell in groups not to mention the fact that a lot of them come in on sale day while the packer cows are going through.

That would be interesting Dave. On straight grass like that, they sure won't shrink much. I would bet 1.375 lbs per day gain.

Is she the only one in the herd that has these abortions? Is your herd vaccinated for Lepto?

So you are not sure of your average daily gain? Growth genetics can come in all shapes and forms. I weaned, backgrounded and sold 14 calves in mid April and the top performer was from a sale barn cow of unknown breeding but appears to be a red angus jersey cross. Bred to my Limousin bull her...

Yes Rifle D is the same as Brash. The surfactant I use is nothing special, just a decent quality 80/20 non-ionic product from Winfield called Valcheck. It cost me $56.25 per 2 1/2 gallon jug. My sprayer holds 335 gallons so I use 3 quarts per load. Using the Brash and surfactant and...

I was worried about a old cow. She should be bred but seemed to be back in heat a couple weeks ago. The bull was interested. I put her with some others to draw blood from to preg check them. This was Thursday. She had a nice heifer calf this afternoon.

Geez, get the man a side x side. Sounds like he deserves it to me.

I really have no idea Jan, it was just mentioned by someone "smarter" than I. His name is Waldo and he is a laid back friendly fella. I gave him away once on the condition he could be brought...

My dog died a few weeks back. I was going to go a while before I acquired another one but the good Lord decided differently and these three wondered up over three days time. Two mostly Catahoula females and one that looks like a Great Pyreenes/ Anatolian male cross. One of the Catahoulas has a...

Lakes Stillhouse Hollow & Belton for those of you that wonder what the heck he is talking about. Two lakes that are low for years at a time and are only get worse with the large influx of out of state'ers moving to the area. Good bass fishing in both though.

Pot is a wonderful drug for nauseousness for cancer patients on chemo.

GoWyo is right for our area as well. I saw one last week at West bring $1.78. Around 1100 lbs if I remember correctly

Not questioning your wisdom but why would you not just leave the calf on the cow to raise and not let her get bred back? Or even if she did, she would just be short bred at weaning time.

Put them on your grass and leave them alone until July or so and then see where you are at grass wise. 1 1/2 lbs per day is obtainable without anything else but I give mine feed about once a week to look them over and spray them for flys. Implant them and don't worry about the replacement...
