As long as she is looking "perky", eats and drinks good, and you are willing to put the effort into her, I see no reason to "count her out"... When she quits making an effort, that is when it is time to do something. We have lifted them before, and I think the hip lifts do little to help with...

Gas here dropped to 2.99 today... diesel running around 3.69...

One bull last Friday in Staunton Va weighed 2050 and brought 2.01... several brought in the 1.80's.... Good cull cows were up to as high as 1.50's plus... Have 3 more cull cows going to town and a couple of odd ball calves... one steer is on one of my 2 cull cows... she is a young cow, 3 rd...

Wow, that temp is about 20*F ? Too cool for me... but they are calling for 90's this next week so too hot too !!!

I will chime in.... if your vet is not doing fecal counts, then you are not addressing the problem of worms... If you are using the wormer for other benefits? as you say, then I am not sure that safe guard cubes is the answer. We do not regularly worm adult cattle. This past fall/winter...

Raking hay today that was cut yesterday... and it is already dry. Couple of "green spots" along the tree line... Hay is shorter/thinner than normal due to the dry spring we have had here. Nice to be getting it all done this fast... got 2 more places that I forgot about to do, but still, would...

If she is due mid-late Nov, and she has some age on her too doesn't she?... I would consider her condition and give her 2-3 months break. So, probably anytime in August. I think the calf will be fine to wean at 5-6 months. Her condition and all will be more important. The hol x calves will...

Our forecast is for a dry forecast for the next 7 days, with only a very slight chance.... We had about 20 drops yesterday just as son was finishing baling one place... I raked another 10-12 acres at a different place today... 3 fields... then he cut another 20-25 acres today. Then we will...

We will be bringing in and weaning a bunch the end of the month. Cows due in late Sept... but as soon as we get done with this first cutting hay we will have the time to get them in and done. Probably going to ship all the steers after weaning... usually in Aug there is a lull in cattle being...

Worm it... sometimes they don't shed well if wormy. Cheap to do... we have one that is like that and she is going to get wormed this week...

A LOT of the drying time will be determined by the weather... we have had PERFECT drying weather for making hay. Last week we cut one day and I raked on the morning of day 3 and it was about dry... got baled late that afternoon... Yes, it was with a discbine with conditioner... BUT... no...

My 2 cents... First off.... Welcome to the CT forum. Most people on here are in it to make a living at it or to supplement their income and use the cattle for ag exemption and to eat the grass/pastures. No one was trying to make you feel unwanted... you just said that you had been at it for...

If you are thinking milking her to sell milk, then I would definitely NOT do it. There are way too many legalities on raw milk... many states require liscensing, too much liability. Add to it the latest issue with this bird flu that has been found in cattle, and a couple humans have caught it...

Hi and welcome to CT.... You are not a dope for asking... Herefords can be milked like any dairy cow... Their DISPOSITION will be part of the determining factor... I have had friends that often milked a 1/2 hereford 1/2 holstein because that is what they had and did fine. Production will...

Can't wait to get the first ones here this year... I love yellow squash...

Corn tasseling already, highest corn I see here is about 18 inches tall in the fields...many are way ahead of me because I had a huge brush pile in the garden to burn.... but it is plowed and started planting... tomatoes and peppers in, started with some other stuff. Hope to get the rest in, in...

Well , well, another country heard from... BEAUTIFUL peaches.... Ours are not any where that close yet... Blueberries on some plants I bought are getting ripe now... but they could be early since they are potted and I don't know how much further along they are, than if they were in ground...

Let the grass grow and take a vacation... Make some hay and take another vacation... buy back next year when there is a drought and you have hay to feed out... IDK sounds like an idea....

Halfway down on left side of list.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::eek::eek::eek: I imagine they had a laugh thinking you were pregnant.... You had dos vaca's, tres with the cria hembra.... Now you have cinco.... One of the guys on a dairy tried teaching me some spanish terms years ago... a little has stuck with me, counting to 10 goes back...
