In the video he says they are the only university that killed all their subjects. He's contending that fecal samples can only look at egg count and egg count does not tell you worm count. It was only through killing the cattle and going through their intestines that they were able to determine...

Excellent video! I had no idea pour on wormers were so much less effective. I tried finding out who the private funders were for Dr. Tom Yazwinski, but couldn't find anything. Their studies certainly suggest that generics aren't worth anything.

The springerlink introduction states that worm load isn't necessarily reflected by egg count, which they admit is the shortcoming of the study. I had no idea. I hate when I can't access an entire paper! Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at the video tomorrow since I'll have a day off.

Lucky, is that study on-line, and if so, would you post a link. If not, can you tell me where you read it? We use a generic brand.

We raise beef for custom slaughter, and have found it easier to sell halves and wholes when we have smaller carcasses. We have 60 acres with only 30 in pasture (since we started crops about a decade ago). Smaller cattle makes sense for us. With that said, this bulls frame size caused me to...

In the end I ordered semen from Pharo Cattle - NT Plato Rupert 123 (http://www.pharocattle.com/Semen-Source ... reford.htm) almost solely based on looks. I found looking at bulls to be a daunting task especially since I'm not really sure what it is our herd needs. Hopefully as I gain more...

We'll be using ai for the first time and I'm a little confused over the bulls I'm looking at. Most of them seem to have what I can only term as "swayback." We always loved the straight backs of our herefords and are wondering if there is some reason so few of the bulls we're looking at have...

Have a good time and learn much! I would have had to leave yesterday to make it there, leaving the barn roof unfinished. I wish our extension agents over here would let us know the the classes available around the state. I tried googling for this class after I posted yesterday and only found...

I'm interested in attending. Can you post the link? Most WSU classes that have to do with cattle are usually too far for me, where's it located?

Hereford - the calf in the picture she'd dropped the day before.

Thanks everyone. There was a woman out here last year who grew up raising simmental and she thought that's what this cow was mixed with. Everything about this cow is just bigger than anything else we have here. If it weren't for the fact that she was my first cow, drops a healthy calf every...

Not many people into cattle hereabouts. I live in western Washington. Most of what I see are blacks, reds, and occasionally Herefords.

This is an old cow I own and I'm wondering what breeds she might be. She weighs over 1500lbs. This was taken in March. I'm thinking Hereford cross, but she's huge compared to our Herefords.

Thank you!

What a waste that they couldn't figure out what to do with their waste water since the water is so high in nutrients. In Australia since water is scarce they have been doing "aquaponics" for years. They take the nutrient rich water from growing fish, move it through crops, which filters the...

We're also in Western Washington and it's darn hard to find anyone who knows much about beef cattle. Finding a nearby vet has almost been impossible since most large animal vets work on equines only. Luckily we recently found one, but he's a good drive away. Diane Fish, out of Kitsap county...

Oh, I love your reply! Your poor bull, I can picture his bawling and can't help but laugh at him. One of the things I appreciate about our bull is that he doesn't allow much disorder. Some of the more cantankerous cows will try to keep some of the more lowly cows and their calves away from...

Thanks for your concern, VanC, but I didn't take it badly. I'm a good sport. Thank you for the welcome, I luv herfrds! I was hoping someone else might have experienced something similar as google has turned nothing up. Biff is an old bull, 12 years, and he won't be around to see his next...

I experienced an amazing few moments yesterday... Everyday I walk the pastures counting the cattle, checking to make sure everyone looks good, making sure the calves are growing, scrutinizing the perimeter fence and other such things that I can call "work" if I need to. I paused for a bit just...
