    14-5-38 fertilizer

    Hard to say if the P and K will really be helpful without a soil test but that would be 28 units of N (over 5 acres). Results wouldn't be earth shattering, but for that price why not?

    Bale Spears

    I remember having that trouble with a spear my dad bought. Brand new spear and couldn't use it (this was few years ago before the current what I call "square style". The neighbor had what looked to be a piece of junk, tip pointed somewhat at the ground. I think it was turned down just enough to...

    Fertilizer question

    That's a VT test. You indicated pasture so the lab would recommend very little if any P at H- and no K at VH. If it's hay they would recommend some P. Except for pasture, VT will have a recommendation for everything below VH. It may be so little it's not economical, but they expect a crop...

    Not the best picture. It was raining and my phone screen was dim.

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    Soil fertility is managed one of three ways here - mis, mal, or non. There are deficiencies. I'm also going to look at the mineral. We don't have a lot of options locally. No good ones. I've just been using their better one, but I may need to go up Jan's way for it. It don't take much for the...

    Are some more susceptible to that than others? It's more prominent on these two than any of the others. My sample size is pretty small even amongst the hobbyist.

    It's good now. Her momma's is holding up as a 6 year old, but it has the potential to turn to coke bottles.

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    I came across this picture last night. The heifer pictured above and her momma. Now that they're both older they really look alike. Head and ears, big red patch at the shoulders. I know there is debate about buying replacements or raising your own and I get it, but it sure is fun to watch them...

    Calf with neurological issues?

    I'd stick it out if you can and it's not suffering. When we first moved here, my wife's uncle gave me a bottle calf. Cow went nuts, tried to kill it, broke its leg, and jumped the fence. Took them a few days to round her up. Meanwhile they splinted the leg and Uncle was bottle feeding him. As it...

    Warmer days = bass biting

    About 20 years ago when I came to the flatlands here I had the same situation. I could catch a stocked trout with a #10 hook and a can of niblets, maybe a rooster tail on the creeks I was used to. Came here and it's mostly pond fishing. How do you know where the fish are, it all looks the same...

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    Temperament is great. I don't have many and I'm around them generally a couple times a day. I can go up to her in the field and she'll tolerate a couple scratches as will most of them. But they're not pets so you can get through a gate or work on the fence without them crowding you. I've been...

    What do you think of this calf? I need a critique.

    I'm a little late in getting these pictures. Hasn't been too many opportunities since then where she would cooperate, I remembered, and I had my phone with me. I tried to get one from the side but I couldn't get her to move from the outside and when I went in with them they went back out of the pen.

    Show me your idea of the perfect cow

    I'm not going to claim to understand it, it's been a while since I was in a repro class. But it makes sense to me that environmental conditions inside the cow could have an effect.
