Get the calf in and give it some high protein feed and the best hay you have.

I was to a mineral meeting this spring.(He was not a saleman.) This guy was a nutristionist and he said cows do not know what they need. He said you have to make sure they get minerals for their immune system and reproduction system. In our area we have to make sure we have a high seleium and...

I had a total of 12 bulls out with 290 cows. 2 3year old angus and 4 2 year old angus bulls and the same amout of herefords and the same age as the angus. I got only 15 angus calves out of the cows that calved with with the 12 bulls. We had 250 of the cows calf in the month that there were 12...

Actually when I`ve sold the last 2 years I`ve they seperated the blacks from the reds and I got the same for both and the reds are from hereford and hereford shorthorn cows. Never kept a single black heifer, value my life.

If the Angus bulls are such good breeders,how come 2 years ago I Had 2 3yr old angus and hereford bulls and 4 2yr old hereford and angus bulls out with 290 cows and got a total of 30 angus calves and 15 of them came after I seperated them so there was only an angus bull with 30 cows? I`ve used...

When you buy cattle from the sales barn, aren`t you worried about bringing home disease? When we use to buy from the sales barn about 15 years ago, it`s taken till a couple of years ago to finally get controll of things like BVD, Johnes, etc. with vaccinating.

I`m going to say I had one of the burger king angus beeg steak burgers and the one I had their was absalutly no taste in the meat. The only taste was all the stuff they added to the bun.

What Frankie wrote about CAB is right on the No.2 because we need to buy more angus bulls because they seem to get hurt easier and become non breeders easier than other breeds. My experience and some people I know have the same problem.

I would sell her because it sound`s like she could maybe a Johnes cow. That`s how we got it started in our herd was from buying cows.

agree

I do.

We don`t use the rings for weaning, we use them for heifers that still suck on the cows after they were suppose to be weaned. Like the next fall after they are bred and we bring them home and put with the cows again and they start sucking again. When we wean we put all the calves in a pen and...

We use weaning rings. What they are is a bull ring with a crown on one side. Only thing we do is put the crown towards there nose instead of it facing up like the directions that way it pokes them and if they figure out how to tip it up it will poke the one it`s trying to suck on. I did it...

I do ours at a day old and I knife cut them because when I learned to do it the vet told me the feedlots perfered it this way because they know both are gone and they are less likely to rupture. He also said when you do it in the first couple of days there easier to find because the calf can`t...

When the milk got clear or gets a brownish color the cow has toxic mastitis and the best thing to do is cut the quarter off so all the bad milk and crude that the cow will get after can keep draining out and then I give them penincillin for about 5 days. The cow might even loose all her hair...

My starting to like cattle started at 5 months old when my Mom and Dad put me by the calf pens while they milked I would play with them till I fell asleep. Then I met my husband 29 yrs ago and if it had`nt been for me their would`nt be any cattle on this farm today. We started out with 50 and...

We find using a rope halter works as good in the head gate as any tongs and you don`t have to worry about them getting a nose bleed when they pull hard enough and get it out. We use to use the tongs in our tie stall dairy barn on heifers that did`nt want to be milked and I guarentee they can get...

I went to the black hereford association once a couple of years ago and the animals reminded me of the holstein hereford cross calves I had many years ago. But this is my input on the different breeds, Here in northern MN the herefords on are farm work the best and on someone elses farm a...
