You guys (and gals :p ) can do what you want, but Alexa™ is nothing more than bundled spyware. If you eat too many "cookies", it can be FATtening. Just my 2 copper

I would puke my guts out trying this method Thanks for the replys :)

I have a 1 year old Herford Heifer and a week or so ago I noticed a Bump on her head about the size of a pencil eraser. Now its bigger and there are a few more. The look like a growth of some kind. They are whiteish with a rough texture and kinda yellow at the base. they stand up about 3/8". I...

I have 3 man-made stock tanks on my place, but also I have the big galzanized(sp) Tank for them in the pen with one of those cheezy heater things for winter. Its a redneck hot tub :) It dont freeze enough to walk on water here, so I cant help ya there.

How is that calf doing now?

I spewed Diet Coke™ on my monitor when I saw this topic. The reason is... This weekend I went to do a "Quckie check" on the cows wearing my short pants and tennie boppers. Bad move there Maverick :mad: Now my ankles are circled in chigger bites. :roll: I put fingernail polish on them, but...

If I had trees like the one in the pic above, I'll tell ya how I would remedy it.... Move where they dont have those :) Seriously, I have been clearing mesquites off an unused part of my land for the past 4 years. I just jerk them out with the tractor and spray diesel fuel on any roots that...

Congratulations! Thats a cute calf :) I cant wait till I have my first too. I just know I'm gonna be a nervous wreck when it gets close to time :)

Welcome :) Now Im not the "N00b" any more :) Lots of great folks here and more helpful information than you can shake a stick at 8)

We got over 2" over the weekend :) FINALLY! It was so bad if you dropped a wrench working on your tractor and it fell in a suncrack it was a goner :) Actually soaked enough to get some runoff in the tanks :) Downside: I had to help the wife to "Spring Cleaning®" for 3 days :mad:

I agree with a lot of the others too :) I shake a feed sack and here they come. Then close the gate. I do have a rope on the gunrack in my Pickup... but its for show :cboy:

For the last 9 years I been using a 1949 John Deere "B" with not much trouble at all. I found out 1 very important need however... A loader! I was looking at the "used" John Deeres at the dealer last Saturday... I'm still in sticker shock :shock: I grew up in a die hard John Deere family and...

Trucks are RED, tractors are GREEN. Thats all I got to say about that :)
