Well, I thought I had a good milking cow with high quality milk that produced these two half brothers. Now I learn that they have either a genetic problem or else have been poisoned with some chemicals or something. Maybe some orthopedic surgery will be in order for them. In the meantime...

One hay barn fire I am familiar with gave off a clue. The day before the smoke popped out, there was an odd smell in the air - even hundreds of feet away. Like what is that smell? Next day, it was obvious where the smell was coming from. So he started spearing the bales and moving them out...

Anyone here use buffered propionic acid preservative on their baler to prevent the mold and heating up on higher moisture hay? A tank, pump and some spray nozzles at the pickup to spray the hay. A neighbor added a system years ago after a few fires and said no more issues for him...

A 9 year old kid and a 1400# steer that wants to hurt him. Six days to solve the problem. Ain't no way I would send that 9 y/o into the show ring with that steer 6 days from now. Ain't worth the risk of injury. Bird dog is right.

Here is his obituary. https://www.gardinerangus.com/news/GAR-Sure-Fire.html

All this concern over a little bird crap. Might need to require diapers on birds flying over the garden.

I agree. 160 # of nitrogen per acre? At least half would be wasted here, especially this time of year. Recommended nitrogen on fescue pasture here is about 100# per year split between fall and spring with no more than 60 per application. Maybe he is putting it on Bermuda, but seems like too...

With the simmental association, the first transfer of an animal after registration is "free" - no additional cost beyond the cost of the registration. Registration, data submission, and transfer can all be done online. Your bull was transferred to you minutes after he left here. If a physical...

Neighbor's corn looking good so far this year

I am told they are mean with very strong jaws that can do damage to a person. They have weird feet with pads on their feet that compress as they take a step.

Clemson is in the process of building a vet school. They hope to accept students in the fall of 2026, but that date is not certain. The Clemson study was done by the former dean and a former officer of Lincoln Memorial vet school. So, it will be structured similar. No teaching hospital. No...

My daughter has very good connections and knowledge of the Auburn vet school. Two good friends did their residency work there. Clemson does not have a vet school yet. I think this is going to be the solution: Dr. Meredyth Jones in Oklahoma has extensive large animal experience and has a...

Kenny, there is a connection to your local area. The girl in the blue shirt will graduate this week at your nearby Lincoln Memorial Vet School. She worked at the vet clinic while earning her pre-vet degree at Clemson. Then came back to work each summer during vet school. Did her last vet...

Most of those "bulls" are Angus/Salers cross. Those pedigrees are from the Simmental database. (Simmental association allows recording of pedigree/data for crossbreds and other breeds.) Those animals are dna verified to the sire, but no info listed on the dams other than breed composition...

My experience is that most pit bulls are gentle friendly dogs. How many have you owned?

Pictures don't always reflect reality. Videos come much closer. People can try to look good for a snapshot, but a video tends to better show reality.

My daughter is the owner/vet. I am just the handyman, grass cutter, facilities crisis manager, sometimes banker, computer tech, parking attendant, and such. Just everyday stuff that any cattle or farm person is accustomed to. She treats just about any species. She went to vet school at...

Painted "bony" horse with bones showing on one side and internal organs on the other side. Pony and horse rides for the kids. The little guy on the pony has a terminal illness. This is his first pony ride. Funds were raised to assist his mother with expenses. He had a great time, but a...

Had an open house at the vet clinic on Saturday. Lots of things to see and do for kids and adults as well. Lots of work to plan and execute. Lots of anxiety about the weather. The date was set a couple months ago. Then forecast was heavy rain and thunderstorms for Saturday. But the bad...
