Amen from an old country boy from Texas. Well said.

Oh Beefy ... Just me being me you know. And of course, she's right. I do get pretty rank after a day working the cows, cutting brush and everything else that goes on down at my place. She just figures it would be nice if I had a stopping place on my way in to " prep " before entering the...

Nice story Medic! I'll start taking a little closer look around next time I'm at the sale barn. Post a picture when you get this calf good and fat.

I'm sticking with the 1 1/2" pipe J. Sounds like advice from a man that knows what he's talking about! Thank you kindly.

I can't believe I'm actually recommending these guys but ......... I would recommend running up to Tractor Supply and buying the 8 ft galvanized bale feeder. They come in 3 pcs that bolt up and not that heavy. My wife and I move it around easily by hand. If you don't have that many cows, it...

Thanks J... It's a slight slope going down towards the Barn, downhill all the way. Usage? I couldn't tell you. I think the new shower heads run about 1.6 GPM, then there is the toilet and sink. Probably not more than 5-10 GPM at the most. I don't know the water pressure. I'm towards the...

I hate plumbing more than just about anything else. Why, I'm not even certian that's the way you spell it .... But, I do have a small job I've got to get done and need some advice boys. My wife has convienced me to carve out a section of the Barn and install a toilet, sink and a shower. ( I'm...

Get yourself a good 50X Stetson to keep that rain off your hair. You'll save a lot of money in the long run. I've never heard anyone that could honestly say they haven't had poblems with those automatic gates. Talking to my neighbor about his the other day. Only seems to give us trouble on...

I have the opposite problem. A Black and Tan coon hound that would run 4 mile and climb 6 fences for a range cube.

I guess I would vote keep the topics more directly related to cattle. Works for me as-is.

I agree that cubes are the way to go in your case. If she is like my cows, she'll beg you for more but ... I would be careful not to over feed her. I bring 'em up out of the bottom to the truck with cubes and pour them out from the sack. They run to get it. I would say each cow gets about 3-4...

Congrats Z&J !! Thank the good Lord you found this web site to help you along. Before joining up, I visited cattletoday everytime I had a cow question and I have always found the answer ( or answers ) on this site. Just a bunch of good ole' boys and gals willing to lend a hand and ... won't...

Now that just makes my day! I am approaching retirement and about 6 months ago, decided to apply for a job at the Tractor Supply that's about 12 miles from my Ranch. I was raised on a dairy farm and been around cattle and horses all my life. I can't even get them to talk to me...must be...

Well, I wouldn't call my pasture lush. In the blacklands of Central Texas right now we are in a severe drought situation. I do have a few patches of green native grass in the bottom but I am thinking these Hiefers are starting to nibble on weeds, ground cover, and what ever else that looks...

Thanks for the advise. Any problem giving scour medicine to a heavy bred heifer? What happens if this goes on untreated?
