Sheesh Now I remember why I left this board before

Ollie, It's going to take me a few days to get the data. It comes from the University of Mississippi if memory serves me right and was a strict study of 3000 head of grass fed beef. They were developing an ultrasound program to determine which cattle could meet a grass fed beef program. All...

that's it! Belarus, just can never remember the name of it. right now the arms are stuck in the down position again.

Sorry Dun! :oops:

How recently did the cow die? And what did she die from? Possibly the calf has the same thing? It's hard to switch a calf off a cow to a bottle so try letting it suck your fingers while you hold your hand in a bucket. Try tube feeding it at least electrolytes if you can't get some cow milk or...

CRP is killing crop farmers around here. Thousands of acres of leases are being lost. It will change back...many of the landowners are non farmers....they don't realize how hard it's going to be to control noxious weeds and don't have the equipment to mow. They are going to have to hire us to...

There is a growing market for grass fed beef in our area. I am in Maryland. Contact http://www.nelivestockalliance.org/ Which is looking for growers of grass fed beef. They will mail you the list of breeds and the feeding requirements. Currently they are paying 1.75 hanging weight minimum...

Well let's really get the topic started and throw some sheep in with the Angus! :o
