Rockridge, Thanks so much for the advice.

WE are going to put fly tags on our cows for the first time. Are the tagging tools easy to use,and do the cows put up much of a fuss when tagged? Any reccomendatios for brand of tags and tool, one or both ears, and the easiest way to remove them later on? THANKS

Well, It seems they have pinkeye. Only symptoms were watering, clouded eyes. The young lady vet that came to the house told us it looked like an injury,though I was sceptical as several cows were affected. We talked to a more experienced vet,and he said pinkeye. Several more cows starting...

Try typing Lindsey Williams, or Energy Non- Crisis on google,that should get you there. The video is on you tube.

Tonights news, Bush is asking congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling. The video ,Energy Non crisis is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Be prepared to get angry, and scared if you watch it.

Well, For some reason the link isn't working. It can be found by searching on you tube "The Energy non -crisis", on the web. It's the video of a minister that worked as chaplin on the Alaska pipeline. He states that there is enough oil in Alaska to supply us for several hundred years, but the...

Friends, If you're tired of high gas prices, and suspect oil supply and price might be manipulated, Please see this video. http://video.google.ca:80/videoplay?doc ... 167011147o. THANKS

Tn, no we haven't vaccinated in several years, due to lack of facilities. We just got our chute and head gate finished,and plan to start . Vet thinks she is blind in the one eye, probably from a recent injury. I was thinking that the tall grass may have irritated them,and caused pinkeye in her...

Hi everyone, I've got a black baldy cow with one severely clouded eye ,and the other one starting to cloud. I suspected pink eye. Our vet came out and gave her an antibiotic injection,and sprayed an antibiotic in her eyes. The vet said it looked like an injury to the one eye and not pinkeye...

Lucky I use oak 2x4 's bolted tyogether. If you are stretching 200 feet or more I usually nail all the wires to a line post at least every 100 ft, then strech it a bit more.

cattlegirl, We feed our angus steers sweet feed for at least 2 months prior to butchering, and give him free choice hay. We have the butcher age him for 14 days. It's some of the best beef we've ever ate. You will get differing opinions, but we don't cut, but band our bulls at about 2 weeks...

One of the reasons i'm asking is that I have heard several negative comments about the processor,after we had already delivered the steer. I wanted to know what a reasonable wt. I could expect if they treat us right. Also, we have a medium size freezer, about 15 cubic ft.. i'm hoping we have...

Hi everyone, We took a 1,000 lb. angus steer to the processor, several weeks ago. I am guesstimating that we should get about 350 lb. of packaged meat to take home. What would be the minimum,and average you should expect for a steer this size? THANKS

I'm looking for a replacement bull as we sold our angus sire. I know a little about bulls, but could use some advice. I figured on getting a purebred , yearling black angus ,but he doesn't have to be registered. What do you look for to determine if the bull will make a good herd sire ? THANKS

Well, he died last night. I was about ready to put him down myself. we did everything possible to try and save him. Knersey thanks for your advice, and to all of you. I'm pretty proud of my wife , she found him laying in the field 2 weeks ago near death, and tubed him. She's came along way for...
