Long story short: we're surprising my Grandma with a new pup this Christmas.Her beloved Australian Shepherd Trixie passed unexpectedly this spring, and it's time for her to get another companion. My question is: what is a unique gift I can get her for the pup? I'm sure everyone will get her...

Just had the vet palpate the herd. As he deemed one of the heifers as open, he asked how big her last calf was. He had a pretty surprised reaction when we told him she was a heifer, no calves yet. He said her uterus wasn't right, but stretched out, as if she had carried a large calf. Just...

She's a Connealy High Rank x Wayview Blackie (Connealy Shrek daughter). We're looking to make replacement heifers and would like to keep her purebred this time around. Also has to be from Coba/Select Sires. We have a few ideas, just wanted everyone's opinions! Thanks :)

The Nascar Race. I'm asking because I'm trying to surprise DF with tickets for his birthday, but I was looking at tickets, and they're for Thurs-Sun. We would want to go for the Sunday race only. I wouldn't mind paying that much for just that day, my question is: can we pull the camper in...

I love his works; any recommendations for other farm/vet/country life books? I'm even open to audiobooks/podcasts etc that you enjoy! Thanks in advance :)

So I heard that a large scrotal circumference in bulls leads to early maturity/growth in his female offspring. Is this a valid rule of thumb? And if so, what is a "good" SC? When reading EPD charts, they are listed as +/- 0.56 for example. How is this read? Thank you in advance :)

If you're in the market for females, there are a few excellent sales coming up in SE Ohio (Zanesville). Both sales will be at Muskingum Livestock in Zanesville Ohio. -Nov 27 is the Back to the Farm female replacement sale hosted by the Ohio Cattlemens Association. Cosigners' female have...

Anyone know of a good whitening/stain removing shampoo that works? Or am I looking for unicorns here? For a smoke heifer that has some bad stains on her knees and flank. We've used Sullivan's Bright Lights and are currently using Vetrolin White n Bright. I prefer the Vetrolin to the Sullivan's...

Anyone have suggestions for a digestion-aid mineral tub? Something like Amaferm's VitaCharge. It will be used on a county fair steer from now until next August, just to keep his insides working as they should/better. We haven't been using minerals as consistently we should with our steers and...

Anyone know a good website where I can find the genetic lines of calves? As we buy calves I like to do an in-depth "pedigree" showing their full genetic line. No real reason other than I'm trying to learn more about genetics and getting better calves by crossing good genetics rather than just...

I was reading a thread a while back entitled "things that make you go hmm". I thought it was on here but it may have been another site. I wanted to start another similar topic but this time with things that make you go "what the...?" because I find myself saying that a LOT in this business...

Anyone having issues with pinkeye this year? We have a bad case of it in the herd. About 7 (now weaned) calves and 3 cows. We'd heard a few neighbors had bad cases a few years ago and the cows seemed resistant to LA200 so they recommended us going straight to Draxxin. We're on our second...
