I pulled a cow out of a gully once and she had a broken back leg. I never knew if it broke when I pulled her out or if she broke it trying to cross the gully. I had to put her down. I wouldn't give much hope for your cow making it, especially if she was old.

My Grandfather, born in 1896 in coastal SW Louisiana talked about some of the marshland in that area sold for "a bit" an acre- 12 1/2 cents. It may have been before his time and he heard the stories. He bought his place, high ground and marsh ground after WW2 for $40/acre. The old man he...

I think it will eventually slide off the bone. I would bring it in, keep them away from critters.

I never put a trough that close to a wire fence. Too easy to push into the fence and tear something up.

I've also patched torn places in the plastic liner with old mud flaps bolted down. I have several troughs over 10 years old.

I used old ratchet straps to replace missing cross-braces on some troughs. Used self-tapping screws to hold it down.

Keeping your cattle from being over prodded and excited coming in the chute can cut out a lot of their fighting in the chute. I have a Priefert with a metal floor and have little problems with cattle slipping and falling after catching their head and squeezing.

I guess that would work better than the wood teepees.

Can any of you describe your pole bean growing method, such as how tall, how many poles, how many plants around it? Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I had forgotten about it going bankrupt. I had just got married in 1984 and we went there but I didn't have a lot of extra money to take it all in. That gondola ride looks like it would have been fun.

How many of you were there for the World's Fair in 1982? I wasn't, but I was at the 84 Fair in New Orleans.

He brought slaughter price, not discounted badly.

This is one of mine from a couple of years ago heading to the sale.

He had been on ryegrass since January so he had put on a lot of weight.

Answer to question. Bull weighed 1845 pounds, brought $90/cwt. He was weighed at the sale after being hauled so there was some shrink from this picture. Thanks for the comments.

Beefmaster. The vet took 2 samples and said he was no good and also 1 testicle was bigger than the other. He said I could test again in a month but I will go ahead and replace him with a young bull.

I liked him pretty well. He never got very gentle but never tried to fight. He would pull his ears forward and give you a look like, "don't mess with me." He was 5 years old and failed his semen test.

I will give the answer tomorrow evening.
