the problem is, i have to clip my cows tomorrow and i kind of know how to do them..... i guess i am going to just block the head and neck, and if i can, the underline... the underline gets clipped tail to head, right??

does anybody know where i can find some blocking diagrams???

... did you get your AI training in central florida?? my friends and i want to go to the Okeechobee training if possible.... what breed of cows do you have???

cool! totally understood it!

she should be "hired" by someone who slaughters beef... i don't do that, i just raise em for slaughter!!!

i just contacted Select Sires!!! A few of my friends and I are going to take the class if we can in Okeechobee, Florida (or near there!). I can't WAIT! do you know how old you have to be to attend?

i like to start breeding my heifs at 2 years of age so they won't get dystocia, or not breed back again. just some food for thought ;-)

THANKS! will do! :-D

Hiya, does anybody know any info of AI trainings in south florida? i believe there is one in Okeechobee. thanks :D

Does anybody know any tips and/or tricks for showing beef cattle???? the only one i know of is that if your cow has a swayed back, you can use your showstick and poke it in the navel/sheath when the judge isn't looking and that'll straighten the back up... thanks!! :D

i just cut em off.. or rub warts-off on them... it works... like everybody else has said, time will kill em too... they're like baby warts... i get them on my heifers all the time.... no big deal...

have you tried lanceing it???? if that doesn't work, i'd try calling your local vet. maybe he (or better yet SHE) will have some ideas for you! ;-)

i totally agree... from what i've read (and ive read a lot) every shot you give damages the meat, and the meat may have to be cut off if severly damaged.... i always give my injections in the neck because that is one of the least valuable cuts of meat.....

just a random poll.. i wanna see how many ppl get the right answer ;-)

i'd try to look into Turner Technical Institute in Hialeah florida.... they have an ag program there......
