You have got to laugh about it though, But yes same problem everywhere ..... even in Australia, Had a Stud bull, hand fed twice a day, guarantee most mornings he would leave his calling card in his feeder, so away I would go to wash it out so he could have his meal served on a clean plate, then...

Thankyou all for your prompt reply's. Yes that is what I have been told also, depends on the individual horse I suppose, some will learn to eat anything. Not even sure if my spoilt cattle will eat it either, Guess it will be another "Trial and See" deal. The cattle are not in bad condition, just...

I've been doing some research on feeding cattle "Whole Cotton Seed",( we are in the last month of winter and a drought that wont end) My problem is my cattle are in an agistment paddock with horses the owners of these horses are not interested in feeding them and I have no alternative but to A...

If he is That Stressed Out ..... wont his meat be tough ? or do you intend to make it all into mince etc? Just curious

Stupendous Outcome :D

Thankyou all very much for your prompt replies. My daughter's mind is at ease now... This is her first calf, I had given the Greyman heifer (dam) to my daughter for her 21st birthday and for the long awaited calf to come out anything less than perfect was a shock to her. But as has been my...

My daughters calf.... born today 25th November, out of a Reg "Greyman" heifer (1st calf) by a "Santa" bull. Is this what you would refer to as "BumbleFoot" :?: She can get around but is very awkward looking, drinking well etc. I have taken the photo's to consult with a vet but after reading...

Thankyou for your reply's although I was hoping someone may have had this experience first hand .... Just curious, as I usually dont wean my stud bull calves until 10 months old and have never had this happen. Yes I like to breed back my Brahmans from 3months after they have calved, slots them...

Sorry :oops: forgot to mention there was no other bull apart from her calf in the vicinity.

Recently purchased a 7yr old Murray Grey X cow, at time of purchase she had her 9mth old BULL calf still nursing , Calf was by a Murray Grey Bull also,(I only bought cow home, calf went separate way). Now since I have had the cow, she has not cycled & I purposely kept her confined (1acre...

Could this little bull possibly be of a miniture breed rather than deformed..... Kinda looks to me like a "Belted Galloway" ~without the Belt :o If by chance this was the case .... Wouldn't he be perfect to breed to Heifers ..... no calving problems there ? Then move onto a Full Size bull for...

Upon looking for a name for my Brahman Stud I discovered my christian name's Welsh interpretation is........ Gwenhwyfar ..... meaning, Fair, White, Smooth & Yeilding. Thought this to be appropiate for white brahmans.
