If you want to offer them hay they will eat it when they are ready to eat it. Getting them on a good protein grain is important if you are not going to have a lot of pasture. How long are you planning on keeping them?

If you start with a couple steers and see if they are the breed you like you can get more.. if not get a different breed and try again. You are not married to them. If you don't like them sell them and get something different. If you do keep the breed and keep going.

That's true. I'm lucky, there is a local "Local farm restaurant" that will buy anything fro anyone if I were to butter it up and make it sound nice.

There is a butcher in my area that will slaughter animals then in their refrigerated truck bring them to where you need them to go.

Raise them to 6 months. Talk to a local restaurant, like one of those not chain restaurants and you will have a very tender meat. Save one for yourself too!

It is 80 acres of pasture. It is hayed yearly and maintained for the most part, there are some parts that are wooded but the underbrush is removed and it is accessible. The land is all fenced in but fields are sectioned. He was running 200 head on the land. He used to give tours and the like on...

I'll start from the beginning. I live in New Hampshire, and my uncle (who married into the family) owned a buffalo farm in New Hampshire.

I'm not sure about cows but in goats when some dehorns them wrong they can grow little scurs that fall off once they grow to a certain length. Maybe that's what happened.

How old do you usually cut? If I could give my 2 cents it is to post him on craigslist and the what not until he is of age to cut. If no one is intrested by then just snip them off. You never know, some people fancy some weird things. How long have you had the herd?

In my opinion bags are a big part of my cow culling decision if I HAVE to cull. If the bag is too close to the ground/to high up or the teats are to large/small or least importantly but still a thought, are the quarters extremely uneven. All can have an impact on early calf development. If a new...

Poor maternal instincts. Extremely poor conformation. To little milk. Too small If you have a large herd you can afford to be picky but there are some top ones that I see and just have to sell.

She could have had it broken before. Does it feel broken?

Okay so then for what I've heard she was definitely in heat. :)

Okay.

Okay so 21 days?

Like what kind of behavior should I be looking for when she is not in with the other cows.

Well the title says it all I guess. My calf is 7 months old and she has been really "moody" for the past 2 days. Not sure what to look for.

Thank you! Yeah she is something special :roll: I think I spray paint her black that should take care of her dirt.

Yeah its all urine stains that she has had and eventually will come off.

Eh good enough.
