    donkeys in North Mississippi...dogs killing my calves

    My Grandpa said that there is only one solution to that problem. You kill the dogs. Talking to the owner never works, even if the owner is a relative or good friend.

    Tractor supply got some jacked up prices

    TSC price matches. I paid $9.99 for both sweet feed and cracked corn, which is what RK was selling it for. You have to ask for the match. There’s no RK here

    Coyotes

    They are territorial. If you aren't having any trouble with your neighborhood coyotes, let them remain your neighborhood coyotes. Something else will fill the spot if you remove yours. It might be trouble If you shoot all you can find, those that remain have larger litters to keep the...

    Baling pastures?

    I don’t understand the question. You have grass and wonder if you should bale it? Of course you should bale it. That’s like saying that you have a corn field and asking if it should be harvested. To pleasant pasture beef, looks great, string some fence and put some cattle out there.

    Blind calf

    I have a 2021 spring heifer that had a broken back leg, probably stepped on? Vet splinted, still not great. I keep her by herself and she does great. She has been with some other heifers before they were cycling and she would soon be limping. Now with her cycling something would jump on her and...

    Steering wheel knobs?

    We got a bunch for work at Rural King about 30 years ago. I had a torn rotator about that long ago. Everything was great from the elbow down. To open a big valve you climb up on the line it’s on so you don’t have to lift your arm. It was the right shoulder and I am right handed. Carrying...

    How’s this look for $15 a acre lease

    I sold 2 mostly black, polled 1/2 longhorn 1/2 SimAngus heifers a couple of years ago at Shelbyville. According to the report they put on line they brought top dollar for heifers in their weight class that day. Mine are filled out better than the ones in the pictures

    What in the devil is the deal with egg and chicken prices these days?

    It’s a bird disease that chickens can catch. It’s not primarily a chicken disease. Eagles and hawks can catch it from any diseased bird.

    What in the devil is the deal with egg and chicken prices these days?

    My free range chickens and ducks are healthy, but the wrong bird flies into the yard or poops while flying over, I’ll probably have to kill them all.

    It’s a little early for this

    BFE, I am also in SE Illinois, far NW Crawford County. Where are you compared to me. I obviously don’t want what you have. Thanks

    Weaning weights

    Around here the buyers would figure the horns into the price. X number with horns @ $1.18, X number polled @ $1.68, I will bid up to $1.45 for the group. Pulled the numbers out of my rear obviously. Were they mine I would prefer them to sell separate because I would be afraid that I would...

    cant make money at this anymore

    They pay $9 for the eggs because they are feeding the chickens. The cows are tame because they are on about a half acre with no grass and people are handing them food through the fence. I don’t have the people living around here to do it. I sell eggs for $2 per dozen. Evidently you don’t have...

    cant make money at this anymore

    I’m in Illinois and don’t have a feel for Florida, so I don’t know if this would work. My daughter lives on the East side of Florida, and there are a lot of people. There’s a guy with around 5 head on less than an acre. People pay him and he gives them food. They walk over and feed his cattle...

    I've about had it

    Wow, I can’t even imagine! My parents were pretty great. I also get along well with my 3 kids who are roughly your age. I’d say come by and I would trade help with you, but SE Illinois is pretty far away for that. I have said a prayer for you, God has listened to and answered a lot of those for...

    They're getting worse than the hogs

    Freaking deer are horrible! We have an SUV in the body shop waiting to be fixed now. Everything that we own has been hit by deer, some multiple times. Hunters REPORT killing over 2000 per year in the county, don’t find some so they kill a different one, don’t report some and butcher their own...

    Keep or cull?

    Breed her to a black homo-polled bull, sell her black polled calf at the salebarn for just as much as everyone else is getting. She won’t have calving trouble if she is bred to a bull that throws normal sized calves. Correinte never do. Don’t keep her heifers if you don’t like her build. If you...

    Bottle Calf Bumpy ?rash?

    You are milking another cow? Pretty good butterfat content? A calf that young needs good rich milk. It’s not watery Holstein milk is it? They sell a powdered milk mix for newborns.

    So please tell me, who's getting rich on the cow?

    A lady drove 30+ mile round trip for 6 dozen eggs at $2 per. I hope to meet her in town and save a trip for her most times. Combine and consolidate purposes.
