That would be my inexpensive 1930's facility. Sortation: Two bags of cattle cubes in barn...let all come in to eat....long pole tapping on the smaller calves for them to run out back into the corral...close back barn gate....and the real magic trick is running around the barn quickly...to open...

I have zero issue too Brute. It's always been KNOWN and a FACT you can safely breed father-daughter and mother-son SAFELY in any species, resulting in more than enough genetic diversity for healthy offspring. That said...it's best to remove those calves from the herd and sell them...or do safe...

She's got that big meannie face. Show her who's boss before she gets too old.

Not walking my fence lines in over a year...thinking everything is rock solid...w/ no repairs needed. Now I get to do the "emergency" repairs...all the way down the line.... in the mud and in some places with my knees in and hands working under 6" of water at the base of T-posts. That would be...

ahhh, she's too cute for two ear tags...she's one-tag keeper.

I hate seeing stuff like this. Newborn goats are born bigger than this bull calf. Let's put the so-called "healthy' calf hidden in the tall grass to cover his rib cage. Makes for a good cute picture....as if the calf is going to eat the grass. Priced incorrect...should be $50. to $100. in...

If I were buying hay for the winter....i would roll it out all over different places on the land to fertilize w/droppings and re-seed. But I cannot make a profit with expensive hay. With corn stalk hay (dense and smothering, long decay time) I like to feed in two places so as NOT to kill the...

Cool, i didn't think my cattle needed to be de-wormed, but everyone was applying it twice a year like clockwork. They're all heathy and fat. It'll save me money, that safe-guard is expensive. They get lots of lettuce and cabbage which I read was a natural antibotic for them.

I mix the dewormer bag "measured contents for my allotment of cattle, plus 25% extra" into sweet feed that's sticky, twice a year.... so it's evenly distributed....pour into spacious feeders and watch all the cattle eat it up. Works well. per their weight and body size, mouth size they gobble it...

I was in the post office looking at the old photos of the past "Post Master Generals" from the late 1800's early 1900's...There was an old thin white bearded wrinkled up gentleman who had been PMG in 1895 he looked like 75....but he was 45 when the pic was taken. They sure did have a hard life...

I feel my VanDamme power waning...you're bumming my future.

Never heard a humming cow yet. Got me thinking ..how come you never hear bulls "mooing". What's the reasoning why bulls never complain or moo (talk) much. Is it related to the entire ancestry of male-female genetics, where females do most all the talking?

I had this gut feeling before the game even started that GB would do great in cold and win while the cold would affect the cowboys. I turned off the TV after the first half...appears the cowboys out-played GB in the second half. But when you're not in the game for the first half...makes it hard...

That one needs to go...she looks way older, more like 12 years or has some kind of deformity that might be hidden but shows up when thin. It's painful just to look at.

"destruction of supply chain" as in insurance companies getting out, less competition? or supply chain of repair parts? I see two things happening...insurance companies dropping people in certain high risk locations...and individuals dropping their insurance altogether due to rising...
