Not below the hairline? I thought it had to be far enough down that the skin/blood supply around the horn was cut off. Isn't there a ridge close to the hairline that you need to get below? A place below the ridge where the band fits in a depression?

I had a couple of goats on a property several miles from my house. One was missing and I walked the property and found some of the spine and a couple of ribs. I left thinking I would come back the next day and get the other goat, but the next day it was gone. Walked the property again and found...

If a bull showed up at my door without me being involved in selecting him... he wouldn't be unloaded unless and until I had a chance to scrutinize what was being presented. Papers and animal... Especially after statements made that never proved out and the entire deal screwed up. It's very...

If you are paying a premium for registered cattle, then you shouldn't be paying anything at all until you have both cattle and papers in hand.

Those look like some serious bands. I bought some sheep last Monday and two were still rams. So I whipped out my bander and was worried about the cheerios since I've had them for years. I'd gone by the local IFA to get fresh ones but they were sold out. But I didn't realize that the bands are...

Have you ever had any interest in trying to influence the sex of your calves through dietary changes before breeding?

One of the things I remember vividly on my roadtrip to the east coast during college was all the stripped cars on the shoulders of every freeway.

Me... you... everyone except the Swedish bikini team. (Or those that could qualify.)

Might be Corriente crosses. If they are they might not get a lot bigger.

I got lost at the birthday suit... Back in the day, back when God was in diapers, I'd go skinny dipping. But now... the mental image is traumatizing.

Since I do a lot of artwork I really appreciate well done tattoos. But there are a lot of bad ones out there, and many that are just a jumble of bumper stickers. And I've never seen facial art that worked at all. Of course some people would disagree. And piercings don't really work either. The...

And that's all well and good... and I'm sure we all hope the claim and the result are well intentioned... but without KNOWing anything other than the story, we also know human nature and the odds... and have legitimate reasons to be suspicious.

I bet they sold the bull you wanted to buy out from under you.

Yeah, I just don't see anything that looks like it would be male. But maybe the hay on the ground is hiding the hair at the sheath. Camouflage... It does look more than a week old.

LOL... she?

The right kind of mold in hay can cause miscarriages. But I've fed old, moldy hay too.

Fantastic looking animals. I'm properly impressed.

I had a guy in Arkansas hire me to bring in his small squares and stack them in the barn. They were baled wet and I'd bet they weighed 100/120 a bale. Made the trailer squat for sure. We took one load in, only stacked three high, and told him to go back out and either cut the bales and scatter...

If you cut them off there is a vein that usually spurts blood, and you can use a needle nose pliers to go down into it and get ahold, and stretch it out until it breaks down inside. That solves the problem of most of the bleeding. There will still be seepage but not like an arterial gusher...

I went to something like this in Reno several years ago. It was more educational than the usual. And the crowd was more rural oriented with a lot of friendly people. And like you said, the vendors were more oriented to useful ranch items instead of glitter for urban people.
