Those are beautiful animals!! Not a thing wrong with any of them - I love long mane and tails as long as they aren't covered in burdock :) And I notice the healthy coats and happy faces -- it shows care and a job well done!

I get ribbed all the time from friends and family about how I "spoil" my dogs. But they deserve what they get - I know my dogs protect us and when on the farm, they will do as I ask, no questions asked (unlike my children ;-) ). They have worked cattle on hot and cold days, stayed by my side...

:shock: WOW! I will send a small prayer upstairs and hope Classy isn't sterile! I would have called the other vet and gave him/her a piece of my mind, or at least recommend that they retrain with the retired vet :D

BB and Hills - my sheperd used to do that, and at that point I found out he was allergic to the food, and it was making him more sick than anything else. He was never allergic before, but the vet explained that, since horse slaughter has come to a halt, the amount of meat by product used in dog...

How awful for both you and the horse! Will she get better? And not to give you too much hope but vets only know what they know -- mother nature sometimes has other plans. Don't give up hope - maybe after the infection has cleared things will look more positive. In the mean time - start looking...

I use Taste of the Wild and I love the results. My dogs had been eating Diamond Dog food but because of the amount of grain used in it, my sheperd and border collie became quite allergic to it. It is awesome to see my "kids" looking so good - although i will agree with fargus - it is expensive...

What goes around comes around - that driver took a innocent life, and I hope somewhere along the line, it comes back to kick him in the arse. Literally!

Thanks for explaining SuzieQ. I thought that is what it meant but I hate to assume anything :) This isn't my first horse, nor will it be the last - I just have never had these types of issues. I managed to win over #1's pasture partner a while ago - but #1 is different. I'll try the advice -...

What do you mean, "takes wet saddle blankets"? And thank you for the advice - You are right, they do know they have it good. I was able to get #1 into a pen by himself, but he has free water and hay. We will change that up a bit :) And I'll work on #2 - he is such a great horse - I know he will...

On situation #1 - I agree whole heartedly and have no intention of even trying to get on board. I was kind of hoping for some helpful hints as far as how to get him calmed down enough to see that humans are good, not evil. As far as #2 - he has been ridden before, he lunges, understands the...

OK horsepeople - I need some advice - situation #1: 4 yr old stud, never broke, never haltered, doesn't care for people, and is currently in a pen by himself so he gets to wanting some type of attention from humans. Using him as a stud isn't the answer - the main goal is to get him castrated...

Add Wisconsin to that list! Been there, done that trying to take care of cattle in the midst of winter :)

Shaz, I do believe you are now officially a cattle owner :) Welcome to the club!! If they aren't breaking fence, they are breaking something else (water troughs, feeders, hay wagons, etc) - gotta love it!

Tag it soon, and then leave momma to take care of the rest.

I have owned Blue Heelers, and although mine were working dogs, they were the best babysitters I could have asked for. They never allowed the cows more then a few feet from me or the kids, and strangers definitely got some "attitude" when the kids were outside playing and I was in the house...

tear jerker everytime I read it

Met Tammy Wynette when I was quite young - I'll be nice now that she is passed away. Met Johnny Cash, and Loretta Lynn when I was younger. Johnny was a flirt and Loretta was so very nice. Had Hank Williams as a guest for my first communion brunch. Met Ray Stevens at a local fair. He was a...

I had a similar problem with cows and horses coming to visit me at all hours of the day, and we aren't talking about one lonely bull, we are talking about 15 head of cattle, and 5 horses that hate humans. After calling twice and getting no response, I asked my dogs to "TAKE EM HOME!" The cows...

There is no "passing" about it! When my wood stove is blowing hot air full barrel, and the temp gauge in the house is only at 60 DURING THE DAY ..... there just has to be somewhere warmer. I was coming home from town yesterday, (the temps were negative all day I believe) and happen to see a...
