Well. I’m going to wait until I cut or it rains! Thanks y’all!

I just bought a red snapper 200 mike fencer. I have about 100 acres split with poly wire and using a solar charger. Some of the weeds have grown up and it’s hot here in east Texas with no recent rain. Should I worry about causing a grass fire with my new fencer? Should I wait for it to rain?

How much line can a solar energizer charge? I had 2 TSC 10 mike chargers on my place with a 2 line system. 1 hot 1 ground. Total hot wire approximately 5miles. Would not keep them in. We changed to a powerflex charger with .5 joule output and ran the hole place. Cows got out. Now we were told...

Is it ok to put freshly weaned bulls in with 2 year old Bulls?

My wife saw her at 2-3pm the day before and she looked normal. No stress and she rotated into the next pasture without issue. Got there at 2:30 yesterday and dead.

Uterus was prolapsed.

Any idea why this happened? Calf weighed 70lbs.

Walking good now! Thx

Thanks! She's getting around ok just slow.

I have a 2 day old heifer calve who has a left hock that hyperextends when she is walking. Has anyone seen this and will she grow out of it?

Yes she is a pure blood simmental. This is her second calf.

How long after calving do I have to wait until I can safely vaccinate cow and calf with Bovi-shield gold FP5 VL5 HB?

Anyone have any experience with simmental ai sire All Aboard? Just had my first AI progeny with him. 80pound red heifer. Seemed big to me. Did not use him on heifers but I have 3 more of his coming. Also and experience with Hooks Baltic? I have a few of His coming as well. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help guys. To tell you the truth. We've been watching them close. Deworming and such. They've never really fallen off or looked skinny. I have read that it can take upwards of 24 months to feed out a simmi on grass. If that's true I think I'm right there. I've taken all you've...

Ivomec back in sept.
