Ok Dun - you made me ask. :D I have a Stockman's Handbook that has very little info about quite a few different breeds. From what it says - I thought Hays Converters might be a good deal. What is everyones' opinion on them?

We buy Holstein bottle calves and finish them out. Was wondering how other people raise Holsteins. Just curious. Always looking for better ways to do things.

I'm curious about why people are complaining about having to move newborn calves into a barn at night in 40 below weather. I have drawn the conclusion from this statement that they are checking their cattle daily and have seen one that is looking close - otherwise they would see no need to go...

We got a new puppy last Saturday. If ya'll remember, we lost Ike a little bit ago. Found another red heeler. Hope he turns out to be as good as Ike. Now we're stumbling around to think what to call the little guy. Would like to know what you would name a male red heeler dog that you hope...

Feelin' kinda blue right now. Well, actually not a little - a lot. Had to bury my red heeler dog, Ike, today. He was 1 1/2 yrs old. Darn dog took to chasin' after something and ran right under our semi as the hubby was leavin'. Can't believe he did this seein' as how long he has been around...

I just got a wonderful Mothers Day gift this weekend! Husband and kids got me a Ranch King lawnsweeper. Have a large lawn (2 days to mow) and have always wanted a way to pick up the clippings. I use an industrial mower with a front deck but they don't have baggers. Love the lawn but hated...

I just spent April 8, 9, &10, 2005 getting certified to be a 4-H Shooting Sports coordinator. I plan on certifying in archery and my husband in shotgun in September. This is a new club in our area. I want to know what you would like taught to 4th - 12th grade boys and girls other than the...

A cougar was seen within a mile of our place 3 nights ago. Last night we saw something again in that area. Hubby says he was sure it was a coyote but can't be sure - it was pretty dark last night. I worry enough about the coyotes but to add a cougar to the mix just puts me into overload on...

Just curious. Do you consider yourself a farmer or a rancher? How would you define each?

Read this in a magazine. A cowman can be either a man or a woman, young or old. They love their cattle and treat them like members of the family. If one is gone, they worry about it. When they are looking at their cattle, they lose track of time; and checking them really isn't work, it is...

I know I asked about this once already ... somewhere. Can't find it now so could I please have some help again? I am interested in learning more about feeding yogurt to bottle/bucket calves. Why do you use yogurt? How much do you feed them? How long do you feed it to them? Does being a...

Why is it? When it's my idea - it's a bad one and ain't happenin' - no way, no how? Two days later - IT is his idea - and a good one and gets done right away? Oh well.............

Thought I'd ask for everyones opinion on this. There's a feedlot close by that bothers me. The owner doesn't seem to take care of his cattle real well. He gets out to feed them whenever it occurs to him. There is no wind break or shelter - there is a barn he could open up but he says cattle...
