    Get my cast off tommorrow!

    Thanks me too! Just have to watch for it to come back, will have it the rest of my life. So flare ups can reoccur. just have to watch for injuries etc. Shores are going better I never realized how stiff your joints can get being in a cast. I have arthritis but this was way worse than that...

    Get my cast off tommorrow!

    Had that same infection in hand four years ago. Hooked up was really a downer. Eight weeks of cocktails three times a day, they pulled it out the day before deer hunting. Biggest buck I ever got was that year!! Hand and wist is a little stiff, I am sure it will come around after chores...

    Get my cast off tommorrow!

    Nope didn't break it. Bad infection in the bones of my hand, that actually fractured some of my distal digits so they are pretty crooked looking. Don't know how I got it but was on 5 different antibiotics most of summer. Hopefully that is gone, if not it is off to get a pic line. Every 9 days...

    How to clip a Holstein Heifer for show?

    The Holsteins my son shows are completely clipped down, whole body on everything from a year up. If she is a heifer without much depth you might want to leave a little belly hair creating the illusion of depth. You also clip their heads, ears(inside and out), and udders. Any other questions...

    gestation length

    I had an Angus cow AI'd to a Limi go 299 days and had a 115# heifer calve last week. I was a nervous wreck. Late calver also. So I know how you feel.
