Here in Mississippi we call it the Sale Barn or Auction

Thank you! That all makes sense. They are running with about 25 head right now and seem to be doing pretty well so like the ole saying goes, “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. I’ll continue to keep an eye on them and hopefully after a couple months they’ll be good to go on some nice summer grass

Good questions. They are about a week ole and there’s 2 calves. Yes I got them all the same day. Mothers passed during birth on one of my buddys farm. So far they are taking to a couple of my cows but was looking to get a dairy cow to get them through the next few months and maybe to keep for...

Thanks for that info

I’ve got an opportunity to pick up some young calves and was wondering if anyone has used a dairy cow to sustain young calves? If so, do they let the valves suck or is it hit or miss?

I believe the cancel culture has gotten out of hand but the likes of defending some of the offensive things that have occurred been portrayed about people of color in this country is ridiculous as well. On one hand it’s ,”it happens in the past so let it be”, but those same images, words...

Just had a heifer finish calving and now she’s laying down unable to get up. She was up and walking yesterday with the new calf but something went wrong today. Vet can’t get out until tomorrow afternoon. Any insight on what might be wrong?

This is SPARTA!!!! I don’t know why but it always gives me energy

That’s a good looking pair

Perfect. Thanks for the insight. I limed in May but didn’t till it in so next time I’ll go ahead and till it in

Can I do it every 3 months? Sooner than that or is that too often?

I’ve been working on getting it up. Any suggestions on how often I should lime?

Thanks I think that’s what I’ll do too.

Thanks for the response. Sorry I should have said I had a soil sample done already. The PH was a 5.7...... I was just reading up and saw some people suggested adding nitrogen for a “pop” in getting the growing going a lot quicker. It suggested N - 60....
