Sounds like a reply from a female running for higher office. Create innuendo and run with it. If ACA stands for Alabama Cattlemen's Association then I do belong. I have no idea what NCBA is an acronym for. The U.S. has had at least 2 cases of Mad Cow since the dairy cow from Canada instance. The...

We are in a D4 drought. The D2 began in June. Our stock pond went dry in August Never been dry before. Been pumping and hauling 1,500 gallons a day from a large pond on the other property since August. Have been on full winter hay rations for 2 months. Afraid to drill winter grazing until we get...

None of us cow/calf producers would have liked COOL the way it was written. We have used and depended on cattle from Mexico and Canada for 100 years. U.S. stocker operations have grazed Mexican calves since the west was won. At some point those calves should have more rights than an illegal...

Yellow white faced brings as good as anything here. A neighbor friend put a good Hereford bull on his white cows 3 years ago and has the best looking calved he has ever had.

Selenium deficiency, which causes white muscle disease. Free choice a quality lose mineral should help.

Canada and Mexico had a right to be upset. We (U.S.) have bought stocker and feeder cattle from them for over 100 years. With COOL those cattle could not co-mingle with U.S. born cattle. Keeping those separate was not worth the trouble. Meat packers also had to add to the retail lable where the...

Three calves is also the rule of thumb I have always been told. It is not uncommon to average 2.5 calves.

Meat packers were not making enough profit with high beef prices. They began to push pork and chicken and let beef back up. Pork and chicken are controlled markets. Cattle are mostly owned by individual operations. Australia experienced a drought and the dollar was high which is good for those...

Our property taxes have gone down, which is unheard of. The state passed a law mandating yearly property values and they inched up during the boom before the recession. When the recession hit the law backfired and year after year real-estate prices have fallen.

Tell him that his friend lied and you over paid for the heifers, that you want him to give you $150 back. See how he likes that. or Tell him you found better heifers at a better price and you want him to come get the heifers and return your full amount paid.

From the studies I have read, the outside of the kernel is all that is left. The stomach acids enter through the tip of the kernel and do their thing. If you split them open they will be hollow. The same material is disposed of when corn is crushed. It is just smaller and impossible to see when...

I have seen an Amish pulling a generator. He also had a floor buffer on the cart. He refinished hard wood floors for his people. I have never met an Amish or Mennonite who did not believe in electricity. The are against being obligated to an outside source to provide it. Cell phones are their...

2-4D-B is clover proof. I have used it and it did not faze the clover at all. Problem was, it did not faze the weeds much either. I am spraying the butter cups now. I an using Grazon P & D. Remember that we have cool season weeds and warm season weeds just like with grasses. I have typically...

I decided to like the commercials once I learned he played on The Rockford Files.

Glad it worked out. Having a wife with the expertise to help is a big plus. I use a goat or sheep nipple when I give newborn calves colostrum. Not nearly the battle than a full sized one.

I would give him a half tube of CMPK and see if that helped. If that gets him going then it is minerals/nutrition.

I am not going to allow an internet forum to dictate my moods. We all chose to come here to share and learn. If I got mad then I would just stay away. I do not miss some of the attitudes that no longer post here.

There is probably a minimum set up fee. It would be hard to get someone to set up and work 10 cows for $30. I could see someone having a good set up and a person hauling to their pen and paying $3 per head to use the squeeze. I have a really nice set up here at home. My friends are welcome to...

All of our fences are field wire. Even our cross fences. We do use the shorter field wire on cross fences. All parameter fences are 48" with two strands of barb.

Hay pretty much stands alone and is difficult to compare to grain crops. Hay is also harvested multiple times per season compared to just one harvest for beans or corn.
