There's a young man where I work that raises a few bottle calves. He may have anywhere from 1 to 10 at a time. I'm trying to talk him into getting a Jersey cow or something familiar for him to put some calves on instead if buying that expensive (IMO) replacer. I've raised lots of calves years...

I'm not sure where to post this but anyways. I would like to learn how to palpate cows to estimate how many months they are bred. Does anyone know of any classes, vets, etc that teach preferably near South Central KY. Thanks

Years ago when we were new to the area I remember someone saying that they had a separate mineral feeder that they put lime in. They said the consumption was low but if the cows needed it, it was there. Any other thoughts in this?

I have this medium age cow that has these defined growth rings. Can someone tell how this cow faired nutritionally by the growth ring patterns the past few years? Thanks

There is someone close by that has a registered Charolais bull for sale but "lost the papers"...I've never had a registered or purebred bull before for the handful of cows I had but I grew the herd and now I'm thinking I might go that route. Anyways I suspect the bull probably isn't registered...

I have some mixed breed CharX cows that gave brown and grey calves with skunk tails. They turn pretty much pure white about weaning time. I use a purebred Charolais bull. I know there's a diluter gene in the mix. Anyone else experiencing this ? Top and bottom pics belong together.

I was working today and the TV was on RFDTV cattle auction. We could sort of hear it but not see it. I heard about some jersey cross cows or hiefers that sold. Anyone know what they went for? I recall about 900 lbs ea. thanks, Ricky

I am putting together a hay roll mover. I want to make it as wide as possible. Does anyone know the maximum width for somethin like this in Kentucky? Thanks, Ricky

This year has been particulary bad with ragweed. It is abouit taking over everything. I clipped pastures several times this year, a few spots up to 4 times. I did get rid of alot of canadien thistles, but it seems like the more I clipped, the more ragweed I have now. What do you all do short of...

I asked my boss, who is on the water commision board, about the water treatment plant lime. He said he didn't think it was exactly lime, but rather some type of residue or "sludge". He said he will check into it further. I am talking about water treatment, not about sewage treatment. Can anyone...

I remember years ago there was a Hereford strain developed that had brown rings (hair) around there eyes. Supposedly to cut down on pinkeye due to the light skin pigment Herefords have. I think someone in TX or OK developed them. Anybody know anythng about them?

I checked with Burkmann Feeds here in KY about a medicated mineral w/ lots of Vitamin A.. They have a "Cattle Guard Mineral" # 801. I am using #809 for the time being, no medication in it, but quite a bit Vitamin A. I would like to use 801 but I have a horse and a donkey running with 30...

I read a few days ago about a mineral-VitaminA and Aeromiacin crumbles mix that supposedly prevents pinkeye. I called the feed mill today to price vitamin A and was given a price of $22.00 per 50lbs. I remember about 10 or 15 years ago we bought a small bag that ran $35.00. Does anyone know the...
