I have posted pics of our animals when we had them - do not have enough now to even give it a second thought - I think we might have 8 if I lifted enough cedars to go find them in the bush - and that has never been a secret - because our entire operation is rented out - BSE and US border...

Aaron I first went to the PM - but decided I would put the response here - it may ruffle some feathers. Cattle Today experts in general place grain in front of their animals on a regular basis. All the experts here do not have animals in snow deeper than their bellies - eating twigs and grass...

Send Northern Rancher an email - he loves EXT cattle - I am sure he would take her off your hands :D [Bez]

Isn't that a cat? And how does half of anything equal a whole? [Bez]

Good advice - now you are about to find one of "many to come" hidden costs of doing business. These additional expenses tend to not be included in the final calculations by the vast majority of folks on this board when they announce their profits or their "annual cost to keep a cow". Watch...

Lots of us do - they taste great despite being a pain to fence in [Bez]

About the only thing we do different is no feeders over the bales I have been preaching (and practising) bale grazing for years - very efficient It makes a lot of financial sense to do this type of feeding - and it saves a tonne of labour - and wear and tear on equipment Good pics Aaron...

You answered your own question - new straw - they are not keen on it - older the better and do not ask me why. If you want to throw it away - burn it in place and watch what they do to the ash you leave behind - bet they lick it up over time - especially if you put a salt block right in the...

Essentially she is on straight hay from the sound of it plus a little scrounge. Get your hay tested. Testing hay is cheap, easy and the key to knowing what you are really and truly giving the animal. If the animal is healthy and in good shape then all is well. If the hay is better than 9%...

Not to be a kill joy - but size seldom has anything to do with what the cow is carrying Seen skinnies lay down twins and lots of fats lay down singles Time will tell though [Bez]

Try spelling azz on this board and see what happens to the word my newb friend. Perhaps that education did not make you as smart as you think you are. 8) You make your wife go to work to support your hobby - well you are the idiot - sooner or later it will come back to haunt you - that you...

Help is usless without info. You - How old, married, kids, single, working, on welfare, educated, wants and needs, future plans and so no. You already started off with a gift of free land and are passing off an excuse which tells me you need to get your act together - lots of people drive...

Time for you to go get another [Bez]

I dug up an old post I wrote a few years ago - you need to read - some of it does not apply but most does. Regards [Bez] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Bez on Tue Mar 01, 2005 3:11 am I do not know you and...
