She is over due according to what I had her down for. I have found no signs of miscarriage and she still looks like any day now. I have also looked for a calf but none found. Evidently I have an incorrect date of ETA on her. Wouldn’t surprise me if it don’t show up this evening. It’s lightning...

Don't feed her any grain or extra until she calves so the calf doesn't do a late trimester growth spurt/weight gain...... Sounds like a family of cows I have... they all seem to start to come in heat young and calve young if we aren't real careful to get the bull out before they should even...

I don't know how to check this and the last vet I could find that would come out is over 75 miles. And took 3 days to get here. Cat and dog vets around here.

Bull calf, unassisted, second calf for the cow. Aaannd, we have a broken leg... Broken at the spot, where I'm holding.

From 2019, in Chambers County Tx (Just East of Houston/Baytown) A woman was attacked and killed by a group of feral hogs Sunday morning outside the southeastern Texas home where she worked as a caretaker, authorities said. Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said in a press conference...

I hit one Christmas morning 2016 going about 55 mph in my wife's Dodge which is mostly 'plastic' on the front end. It wasn't too bad. Impact was just below left headlight. Car was still drivable but we had to go back home and get my truck because we were on our way to my niece's home about 50...

Agitate well and use according to label directions.

I don’t know anything about wild hogs but I’ve heard one of the reasons they’ll never be eradicated is because people are always releasing them for sport hunting. Makes me wonder if part of the “untold” reason Kentucky is outlawing hunting them is the discourage people from releasing them…...

Floor milker is all we ever used, till we set up the pipeline. They were all stanchion broke and the only thing every used to limit kicking was a short rope in a figure 8 above the hock or a " Cow Kant Kick" apparatus. We had the metal chain kickers, but that could be like arming a cow with a...

Well if one worked... how many would make a dent? I'm not sayin' it's a good idea... but considering the situation are there any bad ideas if they haven't been tried? It's not like I'm suggesting holding a red hot poker over an open container of gas...

One spayed sow/500 acres in East Texas wouldn't make a tiny tiny dent in the feral hog population. I have eaten feral pork. It was not dry and tough. Sounds like someone overcooked it.

Even if given "treats" and released? I'd like to try it. With a spayed sow, if it didn't work at least you aren't increasing the population.

Both, they were bigger and I’m hoping this heifer calves easy and unassisted. The frustrating thing is we weaned our heifers young and this particular one real young at 5 months so she could be weaned with the other heifers 2-3 months older and not have to be weaned by herself. I noticed her a...

a friend gave me 2 jugs of grazon next,it has turned dark and no telling how old it is. is it worth spraying and if so how much would you apply to a acre..im trying to kill dock,thistile and some type of vetch..?thanks

Thanks BFE. He's a Good Bull, I truly haven't found a fault with him. Even leaning to give him the full time job if he hangs around a few more months. Right now I've only exposed him to the cow that twinned.

Yes, but it takes a spark to ignite it, You can douse a red hot poker in a bucket of gas, no matter how hot it is, or a coal is, or something. But a spark, even a tiny one from static electricity, will ignite those fumes.

I have a metal teat cannula. It has to be boiled first. I got it for old Daphne when she had mastitis so bad in 2016. Just posted on keepingafamilycow Just wondering - Do people ever put longer hoses on Surges so it can sit on the ground next to the cow? Just asking for a friend

This is what we have reduced to. The reason for buying a boring ol black bull. The fence jumpers went to sale. Sally lost her calf and sold too. The big eared cows calf disappeared. Everything brought really good money. So I've got Milkshake, Dapples, Bessie, Rocket and Seven. Seven is left of...

Thinking common Bermuda, Dallis grass, crab grass, and Bahia grass. Maybe some winter grass too. Wanting to overseed some poorer pastures.

I'm glad we sold the Texas ranch. The landscape was getting black with hogs. One afternoon I counted 35 piglets with several sows. They would come at night and tear up the lawn right next to the house. Also nice to move away from fire ants, yankees and Californians. I ate some feral hog once...
