This is cute! http://www.zapiks.fr/share/player.swf?a ... file=52372 I hope it works... this was in email and openend to this link. 2 minute video.

You probably aren't looking for a place this big..... I somehow wonder if it isn't the farm that surrounds us because he has over 700 acres and runs 150 head of heifers year round, fattening cattle and about half of it in grain crops. I said to the hubby.... I was ready to win the lottery...

Well I was hoping my hubby would answer differently, but he's stuck on holstein x angus x hereford OR holstein x hereford x angus yeah, yeah, yeah I know........ My choice would be: red poll x char x (angus or hereford) Pity I couldn't dye the hair on a char bull to solid black so I...

My husband crossed holstein to angus and kept the heifers for many years. His recommendation is to give Scourgard 30-60 days before calving. He thinks a char bull would give you too big of a calf, but I keep telling him they've worked on their birthweights and they have some chars with low...

I sometimes wonder if the oldtimers who put salt in the animals eye did so, not realizing the iodine in the salt is probably what cured the pinkeye. I can only tell you from my experience. Go get you a bag of iodine from the feed store and add it to your minerals. I add one to two lbs to a...

Actually, I think that's why the french eat horses. They are a clean animal. Very rarely do you see them as dirty as a pig. They eat grass, just like cows do. They don't eat everything like a chicken does. In fact a chicken is the nastiest thing going, they are scavengers and eat anything...

Jovid, what a nice looking red angus !!!!!! lol, lol, lol, just kidding you. (however you would hear that in this area).

Well, I can say that most people think our red poll crossed cattle are "red angus". I wasn't aware that the white switch in the tail was a red angus trait like it is red poll or perhaps its because red polls just simply are not in abundance in this area. Our crossbred red poll heifers we have...

You all need to share that Jack Daniels with Alacowman, and talk him out of getting those cows. Wouldn't it be better to use that pasture for a marketable cow/calf.

TexasBred We get MO Cows and MoGal ....... two different posters. Back on topic...... There is a man in Arkansas who has red polls and a couple champions at that, but he breeds his red poll heifers to corriente bull........... just behooves me as there are plenty of easy calving red poll...

there are more threads on this same subject but I will say that my experience has been that the heifer gave more milk with her second calf. Only you know what the milking epds is on your bull since you say the heifers momma is a good milker. To cull or not? I probably would not, but then it...

Well, a belated happy birthday. Are you old enough now that you transpose the numbers (when its to your advantage)....... I do..... I'm 15 this year..... wonder how many wonderful december birthday people we have on this board. Hope you get to feeling better...... as a side note..... I...

Yes, the weather may get a lot "iffy" 70% precip sleet changing to snow may mean nasty ugly weather for xmas day. I think it would be a disaster trying to have prime rib for the family. Hubby wants his meat "well done" and that ruins any good steak cut. If I even try to have it a little...

I don't understand him wanting to raise his milk level with her having dairy in her. I can tell you from experience, a 1/4 holstein will still have plenty of milk. He'll not have hybrid vigor by breeding back to angus..... what other goals does he have, where is he trying to go with his herd?

What's on your table this year? Usually, I get a ham but they've not been on sale (99 cents lb) so I'm smoking a turkey and for those that may not like smoked turkey, am also having fried chicken (legs and thighs for a dark meat only family) mashed potatoes dressing gravy cranberry salad...

Is the 300 lb heifer the one who has been line bred or are you saying her mother is the one that has been line bred? There are many threads on here about linebreeding if you search them. Many pros and cons on it. Did you look at the bull himself? Were you pleased with his looks because there...

Is there an Ag paper for your area? The MidAmerica Farmer grower is a weekly paper in this area and includes southern IL......... also, they have an ad in it for a cattle farm job in Anna, IL if you're interested. Experience fulltime farm hand for cow/calf operation.. S. Illinois area, Anna...

Would you agree that this is why mineral supplements are so important? Some folks just put out a trace mineral block and then wonder why they don't have good health in their herd.

Hubby's cow "Pet" was a yearling and broke her back leg above the ankle, about 6 inches above the hoof line..... vet diagnosed it, broken, bone was showing..... hubby says she laid around for 2-3 weeks (he fed her grain and water) and then finally got up and has been going ever since..... she...

Yes, thank you Tb, I do realize the difference between iodine and cod liver oil. Yes I couldn't agree more that one should be aware of the minerals one feeds. Also bio-availability is very important. I also think its very important for one to get soil tests and find out the trace minerals...
