I had to replace an old cow recently and had to ask the guru who does my buying for me at the sale barn to pick one out that was about 6 mos. bred. Both times I have bought cows myself at auction have been disasters, but this gentleman has been in it for many years and loves to help. Most of my...

Ignorant as I am, I need all the good advice and/or suggestions I can get. Have a 8-9 year old angus/brangus mix cow that I bought almost 3 years ago. She has given me two good calves, the last one being a real big one. She got down about 3 days before she calved and I couldn't get her up at...

Neighbor is loaning me a 16-mo. old registered hereford bull for my black and red brangus cows. I think he is the only human this bull has ever seen, and the bull has never been around anything but herefords. He was skittish; we opened the trailer, and he jumped out then ran to the fence. My...

Probably the most docile cow I have has been looking like she was going to deliver any minute for about 4 days now. For 3 days she looked like it hurt her to even walk. Found her today in a mesquite thicket with the new baby. She thought I stood there (about 12 ft. away) a little too long after...

I am unable to convince the county guy who runs the maintainer blade on my road that water runs downhill. He cut a ditch toward the fence line, but about 60 feet above the creek, I guess so the water can go into the creek sooner? Note that the ditch is stopped up at the net fence/brushline, so...

This mixes two of the things I have done for a living. The first thing I noticed was how much better behaved this audience is than most human ones :lol2: http://comedy.video.yahoo.com/?lid=24038736&vid=26625825

10 mama cows, 10 calves, a bull, and 3 donkeys on my place. Driving home today from a job, go by the small pasture by the old farmhouse and see the 3 donkeys there....and a 4th. Wait, I don't have 4 donkeys. Neighbors aren't missing any donkeys. Fences are all good, gates are locked except for...

5 inches (no kidding) from 5:30am til 11:00 am. They had to tell me what it was; I'm too young to remember rain :D Stock tank is full; now if the grass will just come back. My back yard looks a little like a lake.

All you who are grandparents, I'm curious about your grandparent "name" and how you came by it. As we know, the oldest one gets to name you. When my oldest granddaughter (now 9) was a baby, my daughter asked me what I wanted to be called; I was holding out for "Grandpa". The closest the little...

Got to have all my grandkids over for the holiday weekend, including my 22-month-old grandson, Nate. He is a big bruiser, all bone and muscle like his daddy (obviously not like his grandpa). Of course, we had to have a short ride right after.

Have always been amazed how one cow, or sometimes even a bull, will babysit all the calves while the others graze. My question (maybe silly) is does anyone know how they select the babysitter of the day? I have seen it turn to 2 cows when there are more than 7 or 8 calves (cows can count?)...

One of the 3 bred cows I bought at sale in late December surprised me yesterday with a new baby. The cow was tested to be 5 months bred so doing the math, I figured mid-April but figured to start watching her April 1st. The place has been in the family since the 1890s and is about 190 acres...

Have some stuff coming up that keeps coming back after I kill it, due to all the burs it produces (See pics). First thought it was a type of clover but don't think so now. It stays very low to the ground (no more than about a half inch high), has long runners, and veined leaves that range from...
