I changed preferences a few days ago and looks like that may have stopped me from getting daily emails. I still have it set to get emails. Whats up? Thanks!

Having new fence built. Used creosote treated posts for corners. I've seen a purple coating on the top wood post. I'm sure its for preventing water from collecting and rotting the tops. What is it called? Where do you buy it? Is there something that is better? Thanks, Farmgirl

Discovered a first calf heifer allowing another calf (not hers) to nurse. I hate to have to separate them. The thief is getting plenty of milk from her mama. What if anything would you do?

When do you tag and tattoo your calves? We have tattooed ours in the past but usually waited until weaning. Never tagged but considering it. Any problems with tags pulling out (ripping tender ears)? Sure would help to identify calves though. Thanks, Farmgirl

A take off from the Accuration thread. What are the limiter choices that you know of or have used. We have used Accuration but concur it is good but pricey. Salt works so, so. Are there other limiters? Thanks, Farmgirl

Horse flies seem especially bad this year. Just wormed with Long Range. Used Sabre pour-on a few weeks ago. What is best repellant for horse flies? Thanks, Farmgirl

Hauled a heifer yesterday. Connected the brakes/lights. All lights worked, but controller inside the truck showed "not connected". Not sure if the brakes were working or not. No problem hauling just one. Need to haul a load this next week. Don't want to get into the situation of needing...

Looking at feeding some dried distillers grain to lactating cows and weaned heifers. Any issues/limitations I should be aware of? I understand it has high sulphur content. Should it not be fed in metal troughs? Thanks, Farmgirl

Anyone used the STV model? Good? Bad? Thanks, Farmgirl

Vaccinated a weaned calf with a product that has a slaughter withdrawal time of 60 days. Does that mean I can't run him through the sale barn until 60 days have passed? Thanks, Farmgirl

Looking at buying a pressure washer. What is the minimum size (psi, gpm) you would buy to wash out a stock trailer? Thanks, Farmgirl

I was moving some straws around this morning and dropped 2 canes into the bottom of the tank (not in a canister). Any ideas on how to get them out? Could I get a piece of wire and put a hook on the end and fish them out that way? Thanks, Farmgirl

How do you transport your tank? We have always put it on the back seat of the truck with the seatbelt around it. I am referring to a regular tank, not a shipper. What is safe? Thanks, Farmgirl

When should I start feeding fly control minerals? Know it needs to be before flys show up in spring. When is that? Located in southeast Texas. Thanks, Farmgirl
