I have to check tomorrow, I'm pretty sure it can be pushed back I didn't specifically check for that. When I turn him out tomorrow I will check. Thanks for the compliment. He's the first calf that I am raising entirely on my own that actually belongs to me, so I have put alot of time into him...

So I've noticed a bump growing right around my calfs navel. I *think* it's a hernia, but I really am not sure because I haven't had to deal with any before. I talked to my old boss at the dairy & he suggested duct tape, but I'm not so sure... What do ya'll think? Any idea what it is or how to...

AWW!!! That is so cute...and they will grow up to be best buds. I hope you were aware that the pup was coming, and it wasn't a total suprise to you! :-D

He was awful about drinking. He would stick his entire head in the bucket(sometimes past his eyes) and then blow bubbles. Not blowing out while drinking it...just sticking his head in and blowing bubbles for the fun of it. Thank goodness he is past that stage. He's now almost 2.5 months old, and...

I've been gone for so long! The past few months have been really stressful, crazy, and not conducive to hanging out on forums...but I am back now!!! Anyway...I just wanted to say hi! So...since I've been gone I aquired a bull calf(now a steer) from the farm as a birthday present, and I lost my...

Well, I am back from an amazing summer at the ranch petting zoo and I wanted to share some pictures with you! I had posted pictures before I left of my boys when there were a day old. Now I wanted to share some when they got older. They were great all summer long and taught the kids a ton! It's...

Im sorry you lost the fight against whatever it was. It sounds like you did everything you could, don't be so hard on yourself.

Man I'm gone for a day and I miss all the good conversations!!! This is what my fiance and I are getting into...not just bucking bulls but we want to be able to supply entire rodeos with everything but horses(bulls, steers, calves, sheep, goats, etc). We'll be working off two properties, one in...

I think Davis covered most of the importiant questions...a picture would be very helpful

I am currently a short term missionary in Hungary. We would love to put something like that together, but there is no $$$. It took two weeks to get the money just to buy the spindle assemblies, could you imagine if we had to buy anything bigger than that??? lol

sweet more pictures! These are awesome, thanks MM

When I get back to the states I never want to see another lawn mower. Just kidding :-) That is ALL my job consists of. I spend 5 days a week, 6 hours a day sitting on a mower. I am the only one who mows and we have 78 acres of property, most of which is all stuff that needs to be mowed(soccer...

Are they showing any other symptoms of IBR?(high temps, inflamed mucous membranes, lack of appetite, respiratory distress) I've never seen a case of IBR that didn't have only one of the symptoms. What you are describing sounds alot like pinkeye, particularly the cloudy part. I thought(if I'm...

Oh I feel for her. She is WAY to skinny!!! I'm so glad that you got her...even being thin though she is absolutly beautiful. You can easily see how she won. Good luck, and keep us updated! Over here in Europe embryo transplant is a big deal for sheep and goats(sheep dont work very well...

man I would kill for something like that. They don't eat beef here...like EVER. It's too expensive...I havent eatten beef in almost 2.5 months. When I left we had it almost every single day! All we have here is pork and occasionally chicken and even rarer, fish. When I get home first thing I'm...
