    How long to wean calves?

    The heck I'd pay 150/mo for some cows to have warm water when there are so many other options out there.

    Close call

    I have one loader tractor that even with the rear tires loaded it likes to dance around on 2 or 3 wheels at times (90hp landini). I'm used to it, but it's a bit of a pain having to drop the bale in a hurry sometimes. Stupid thing also with that tractor is I think the float is plumbed wrong...

    bull wintering

    Just open dirt lots? Have bulls in much smaller pens than that and they do fine.

    Quiet Wean flaps

    Cows will still make noise, calves usually do not unless they were still managing to nurse. My cows go back out to pasture, so I don't care what noise they make, calves are kept in my yard.

    Quiet Wean flaps

    Calves don't gain anything really in the first month no matter how you wean them, I'd bet most go backwards in abrupt weaning. Thats why if you're gonna keep them, you better keep them atleast 60-90 days. And even then its often hard to come ahead much.

    Making a tire tank with existing pond

    If you're close to the edge of the water take a sharpened thin post/pole/log and push it thru the dam where you want it, attach your pipe to it and then pull it thru from the pond side. Someones gotta get wet. I've seen them use steel pipe to push thru too, but you need a point on it. And make...

    Have never ordered here: http://www.oxfordfeedsupply.ca/store/p7 ... 100pk.html But my local guy will match their price. About as cheap as you're going to find. I buy 100 at a time, 25 packs will be closer to $4 a piece.

    Keeping Books on Average Gain

    Anything under 2 is gone, under 2.3 is looked at closely as to why its that low. Avg is usually in the 2.6-2.75 range, some pushing 3.3 on the top end. No creep, recorded birth weights and weaning weights, always around 205 days. No guess work really.

    Need advice on electric fence

    Relate fencers to car accidents - KV would be the speed the vehicle is travelling, Joules is the size of the vehicle. 1 jules = getting hit by a bicycle doing 30mph 10 jules = getting hit by an 18 wheeler at the same 30mph. They're both doing 30 (Kv of the fence) but one hits with a lot more...

    wean flaps

    All you can do is try.. If she keeps it on and doesnt learn to suck with it on, she should wean. Not my preferred way - but do what ya gotta do.
