    questions with bottle calf

    Ok, picked up a bottle calf today at auction. Got her home and set up in her clean pen. She wasn't very active at first, mainly sleeping. About 3 hours later went out to put up a tarp wind block and she was standing, everything looked normal. Went to put up tarp, and she started spinning in...

    Heifers

    Ok, I may be overlooking something obvious, but how do you know if a heifer has been spayed? Other than being told/ having it done? Is there a way to tell by looking? Do they have to be tagged? Mainly if someone was to purchase from sale barn, is there a way to tell? I'm sure I sound...

    Hauling cattle across state lines

    Wasn't sure which section to put this in. Never really gave it much thought in the past, but is there any special requirements to haul your own cattle across state lines? I have been thinking of making a sale in OKC, but I have no idea if you have to have any special paperwork or permits to...

    Put Me In Charge

    I personally would rather spend more tax money to make sure the people getting assistance are being tested. Its better than spending tax money on drugs-which, not in all cases, is where it would go. I agree that welfare should be available, but not abused the way it is now. I like the idea of...

    Favorite beer?

    Never been much of a drinker, but I do like Lone Star Beer. Every once in a while I'll do some mixing with Crown or Jim Beam. Never really liked the next day after drinking but nothing is better than a ice cold beer on a hot summer day.

    Rye grass for hay

    Vett- I'm really not sure what kinda of grass, if any is growing now. Most of what I have is goat weeds, whatever grows those little white and yellow flowers, and scattered mesquite bushes. I would think that some of it is a prairie grass of some sort, I will try to take a few pictures of it...

    Rye grass for hay

    Was talking to my neighbor Sunday while burning some brush piles ( finaly able to burn after 2 years of dry weather) and was entertaining the idea of him cutting my place (around 15 acres) in the spring for hay. It usually comes up about 1/4 rye and whatever native stuff. I told him that he...

    kenny chesney

    Depends on if you like his music. Seen him way back when he and Tim Mcgraw was traveling with George Strait. Big arena, bad seats, but all in all was a good show.

    Trailer rental

    I wouldnt charge friends or family either, just kind of kicking around the idea. Don't really use the trailer much, but seen an ad that someone was needing to rent one and it got me to thinking. I have never had to rent a trailer, so I was wondering what kind of rates people charge to rent. I...

    Trailer rental

    What is the going rate for renting cattle trailers? What would you pay to rent one? What would you charge someone to rent from you? It would be locally and probably no longer than a week. What size of deposit should be expected?
