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...

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.

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.

Also nice to move away from fire ants, yankees and Californians. I ate some feral hog once...
My Darlin Companion reminded me of one great interaction we had shortly after we got hitched together.
It was at a Wednesday evening church meeting, and the menu was newish young couples like us. The preacher teacher had a gaggle of us sitting in a circle. I was really uncomfortable.
He asked...
Well we have seen evidence of how much Oscar gets done in a day.
We use long cords at B's brandings with his generator. At my place there is a long cord coming out of the barn. It is dead silent. Most of the neighbors here use an old wheel rim with a fire built in it. Quiet but smokey...
talk to some of these folks on here about a bud box instead of a sweep, if you work your cattle quietly it works just as well and is a ton cheaper. We just built our pens and after what we spent on the heavy freestnding panels I didn't have a sweep in the budget so I put in a bud box and it's...
