The smutgrass in of my pastures is getting out of control. Its been misidentified for a while. A neighbor told me it was a type of switchgrass and he used to have it in his pasture but he got rid of it by mowing. well I happened to have another friend over and he identified it as smut grass and...

Found a new calf on Wednesday and all seemed well. I assumed he was born on Tuesday because he was clean and didn't see any sack hanging off momma. It did lay off in the brush mostly but I did see it walk around some and saw what looked to be him nursing. I checked on him Friday and he was still...

I was vaccinating my small herd today with my wifes help. Normally I have a buddy that grew up with cows operating the chute and giving the injections and wormer but he's tied up for a while so I figured what the heck me and the wife can do it. I was giving them triangle 10 SQ and everything was...

I always wait till tractor supply has a sale going on and buy a ton or 2 of cattle cubes for real cheap and put em up in my barn but the mice have been getting worse and worse and the traps and poison don't seem to be knocking em out either. I've been trying to think about something I could...

I had my first calf of the year today. I checked on em earlier this week and they all looked like they had a little while longer to go but we're getting close to calving. I went back there today and one cow stayed in a little oak tree patch so I figured she had calved. I fed the rest of em and...

I ended up working out a deal with a guy on some jiggs tops. I had another thread trying to decide what to plant and I was going to go with Tifton 9 Bahia until I found out how much the seed costs.... The cheapest I could find was $245 for a 40lb bag. The guy I'm gonna get my tops from is gonna...

I have 2 one acre pastures that I put my bull in after my cows drop calves and let my cows in from time to time. I sprayed and disked one pasture and planted rye grass because it was getting so overgrown with weeds. I planned on planting Tifton 85 in at least the one pasture this spring. The...

I bought 3 black baldy heifers a year ago that everyone seems to think are miniature..... When I bought them I saw the hereford cows that they came from and they were all plenty big and the guy said that he used a angus bull he borrowed. I measured them at the hip for frame score and they are...

I am getting ready for fall and am going to worm, vaccinate, and ear tag my cows. As much as Id love to get a squeeze chute I dont think my 10 head justifys the price of one. Earlier this year i had a calf cut her leg and I just tied a piece of hog panel to the exit alley and closed a gate...
