I used to work for a fertilizer plant that sold liquid lime. We would apply 200 gallons per acre that was 50-50 water and basically lime dust. This lime had an ENP (effective neutralizing power) of 2000 in a ton. Our typical aglime had an ENP of 1000 in 1 ton of lime. Our high quality washed...

Update on the missing calf. A local group of cowboys volunteered to catch her yesterday and she is now home! Pretty wrung out and thin, but very calm considering. She likes the hay feeder at home!

Put tubs and cubes out on the 21st. She was seen on the 23rd by a deer hunter. Moved a tub close by to the tree stand on the 24th. Have a gal with a dog I need to call. Will talk these options over with my buddy who lives close by. He has a good horse and a buddy who does team penning but...

Ok, this story is real. I have a 1 1/2 yr old heifer (club calf bred, MaineXAngusXChi etc., loose in a woods 20 miles from home. Took her to the hoof trimmers and she got away. Been loose for 3 months. Saw her last Sunday a couple of times, as we could track her in the new snow. Brought a...

Things are never as good or as bad as they seem. Mom The world is not full of strangers, just friends you have not met yet. Dad How can we expect God to forgive us if we cannot forgive each other. Me, but from the Bible.

One thing about Tordon RTU, anything spilled on the ground can have negative effects on sensitive species growing adjacent to the cut tree. I used Tordon to treat stumps of volunteer elms and ash trees in my windbreak, smoked a bunch of cranberry bushes :mad: The label lists a bunch of...

Greybeard, if your question was directed to me, yes she is a four yr old, 3rd calf. She is a South Devon/Limousin cross that weighs about 1250 imo. Many think she is an Angus. First calf bred to a Limousin bull, easy pull. Everytime the calf got close, she seemed to stop pushing because it...

Have a US friend order it and ship it to you? Did I just type that?

Just experienced our first prolapsed after a calf the cow could not have on her own and died shortly after pulling. Vet restrained legs with rope to a post as she was laying down. No lidocaine needed as she did not fight the process. 3# of sugar and 60 minutes later prolapse was back in. 4...

In our neck of the woods cake is a co-product of the ethanol industry, specifically wet distillers grains, cattle feeders love it. "Since the ethanol boom began, around the late 1990s, producers have found a market for the co-product. WDG, or wet cake, is more palatable and nutritious for dairy...

To me it sounds like it had enough moisture to go through a fermentation and is in fact ensiled. I have seen alfalfa like that, color looks awful, feed value was good and cattle ate it. Only way to know for sure on value is to watch cows and see what condition does (cheap route) or test it...

A successful farmer friend of mine told me once that your first feeling/instinct/gut check/idea is usually correct. If you think it is right, you bust your butt to make it work. Act on those little thoughts or feelings, but be smart about it. Address the potential hang ups, then jump in and...

I agree, 18 guage needle, 3 cc syringe, tail horizontal or slightly higher only, too high and you do pinch the nerve. Hold tail with one arm, needle in other, push in, if you hit bone, back off a little, see blood, pull plunger, Voila! My mistakes first years were not pushing in far enough...

I grew up on a dairy farm that liquidated when I was 10 yrs old, milked my grandmothers cows for 2 more years so am no expert. Have a few hobby 4H cows now. But, I do remember many fresh heifers have milk/colostrum that you described. Bloody in color. Not sure if from swelling or what, but I...

I have heard lowline breeders can get 2x the amount of meat per acre vs. conventional angus due to smaller size/maintenance requirements. Might consider those.

My daughter won the commercial calf throught the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program in 2011 that was a cross from a south devon bull from DarLynn Cattle company and a Limousin cow from Lyon River Front Farm. She just had her second calf. She looks like an Angus or South Devon, little...

I like firesweep's reply. I think beef is the way to go long term vs. the dairy breeds because of your small size. My kids are 12, 14, 17, started 5 years ago with a steer and a heifer. For baby steps I like the heifer calf idea, show it, grow it, breed it, calve it, show the calf, etc. For...

I once had 5 pigs butchered of similar breeding, whose live weight varied 12 lbs from heaviest to lightest. 1 went to butcher shop A, 1 went to butcher shop B, 3 went to Tyson. Carcass weight of pig at butcher shop A was 27# less than the average of the other 4. These pigs only weighed about...
