So, have a weaned heifer that has mastitis. I'm guessing the bull calf she was with tried nursing on her. FUN... I have been doctoring her with Today for 2 weeks. I am not getting any more puss out when I strip the quarter, but there is still a hard mass in there. I have a call in to the vet...

Well, didn't have any pictures taken of my little girl, but the other 3 did get some pictures taken. As you can see, there is one that enjoyed it more than the others. We had to borrow that calf because the one we were going to use decided she did not want to be shown (had also sprained my...

Was wondering if anyone that knows more about older cars could help me on a model and possible year of the cars in this picture. I know from the date on the photo that it was taken in 1935, but of course, none of the men in the picture are alive to ask. My great-grandfather is in this picture...

So, I have one of my 2 year olds that is seriously HEAVY bred. I have been watching her for weeks, thinking she was close, but no luck so far. We had IVF done on her in November, and the tech told me she was right at 45 days bred (November 15). That would have put a calf on the ground around...

So, last year we had a bad outbreak of cockleburs. We mowed the fields last fall, but are seeing them return. What is the best herbicide to use? Our pastures are mostly fescue and clover with some orchard grass mixed in. I would love to be able to keep the clovers if I can. If mowing early is...

Well, if having over 80% bulls as a seedstock producer weren't bad enough, we had a weird thing happen yesterday. A little history first: 10 year old cow, never had any issues with her calves. She was the first cow that I had gotten flushed. She was bred to a bull we have been using quite a bit...

Looking at getting a different tractor. The 2 options I am currently looking at are the JD 5100E and the JD 6105E. I am sure the 5100 can get in and out of spots easier than the 6105, but I have not found any info online about dimensions on the tractor. I have gotten wheelbase, but that is it on...

I am hauling cattle to GA in early November, and was wondering if any of the CT folks are close to the Clarksville, TN area that I could lay over my cattle for the night. If I had the opportunity to leave earlier in the day, I'd drive right through, but leaving after a full day of work, I don't...

I have been looking around the last few weeks for a handful of recip cows to continue our ET program. I could use the recips from the ET facility, but they are anywhere from $2800-$3500 each (cattle prices now make this scary). I have come across some Jersey cows for a VERY reasonable price, but...

We have a customer that is wanting to lease a bull from us. In February, we did a BSE on all of our bulls, and the bull we had for them to lease tested the best out of all our bulls. Fast forward to last week so we could test this one again and get trich tested, and he did not have a single drop...

Ok, this might be a little long, but want to get some opinions on what to do (I know what will probably end up happening, but want to see if there is something else to do). Last June, I sold a yearling bull to a guy that lives about a mile down the road from us. Guy had 8 females that was going...

C Bar C Lux. A September home bred bull AI sired by Hatchet 150. Top 2% for WW, YW, and HCW. https://www.livestockgenetics.net/sgbip ... 1=20133389 RR Old School. We recently purchased this young bull for his growth and carcass EPDs. We will be collecting this bull soon...

I know that most people have called a wrong number, or have let an unknown number go to voicemail... Yesterday, my wife had 2 different calls from an older lady (wife let both calls go to voicemail because she did not recognize the number) and the lady left messages each time. She was trying to...

Losing a calf never gets easier over time. We had a really good heifer that my nephew was showing this summer and last night we went to start loading feed for a fair that we are heading to today, and found his 6 month old calf dead. This was his first year of showing, and had already won with...

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Santa-Gertrudis-Breeders-International/112461925466128 Just in case you don't want to scroll to see it: Hey everybody - Carroll D Meyers of Navasota, Texas, has reported that 28 cows, 2 bulls and 7 calves are missing from the Running M Ranch in Navasota. All...

2 year old heifer pictured below. Preg checked in October, vet said open. Checked again in February (after turning bull out to catch up on what the other bull had missed soon after the check in October), vet called 2nd stage. At that time, she was starting a small bag. Now, the bag is getting...

C Bar C Boggz 915/0. September 2010 calf. This young bull had a good year showing, coming in second in points for the calf division. I am excited to get him home this weekend and start using him on some heifers this spring. EPD's +1.1, 7, 14, 1, 5 Harris Farms 006/0. April 2010 bull. This is...

Found a little article on why diesel has become higher priced than gas over the last few years. http://www.nacsonline.com/NACS/News/Daily/Pages/ND0301122.aspx?src=newsarticle

We currently have high tensile electric fence around most of the farm (got 60 acres not right now) and was wanting to learn a little on splitting some of the paddocks up with a temporary fence. I have been looking at reels and polywire, but would like some input from some on here as to what they...
