Okay so here's the deal.... I bought a cow at the stockyards last Friday. She seemed pretty calm and I thought she would workout so I went ahead and wormed her gave her a blackleg and a vira-shield shot. She started acting funny the other day and now tries to chase me out of the field as soon as...

Back when I first bought a bull calf to raise as a herd bull I posted some pics and got some mixed responses, but what else can you expect from this board. Its a bunch of stubborn farmers who have or will "do it their way because that's the best way to do it." (A group I'm not excluding myself...

I am getting ready to over seed and fertilize some pastures in October. I am wanting to use a 70-20-20 mix with the fertilize and mix in my grass seed and spread it all at once. I am planning on using a 50/50 mix of fescue and orchard grass and adding about a pound of ladino clover in with it...

Anyone have a clue? Just started coming up in my pasture this year. They are in random groups slim and anywhere from 4-24 inches tall. I need to get rid of this!!!!

I will be getting up the cows next week to move them around a little bit and plan on getting them pregnancy checked, wormed, and vaccinated. I usually don't mess with vaccinating too much because I typically run a closed herd with no cattle anywhere near mine. However, this year I have bought a...

I may have to cull one or two out of the group, but they are pretty good cows from what I can tell. I bought 8 cows and 7 calves. The calves look good a healthy and the cows are calm and gentle for the most part. I believe they will work out just fine. Here are some pics, I'll try and get some...

I don't think we're supposed to post stuff like this but the link for the classifieds is not working. I'm wanting to buy 4-5 cows. I'm looking for heavy bred heifers or anything up to about 8 years old. I'm wanting Angus or Charolais. I might also be interested in some other breeds, but those...

I am wanting to buy a neighbors herd when he sells out in a few months. I already have a bull from his herd. My question is would it be okay for that bull to breed his mother? I wouldn't keep the calf just always sell it after weaning. What are the chances of something wrong happening? I can...

Wanting to go to a couple big sales or conventions that are related to cattle in 2014. Wouldn't mind driving to Southern Indiana or Southern Illinoise, but would prefer to stay in or around Kentucky or Tenesee. I googled some list of shows, sales, and conventions and got quite a few things to...

The calving dates should fall between December 16th and sometime in the middle of January. These are pics of 2 different heifers. Just curious how close y'all would guess them as.

I had a guy ask me if I could set out about 30-40 rolls of hay. It will take me 3-5 hours to get the job done and I will have to drive about 20 min down the road. It won't be that big of a deal because I already have to drive down that way to pick up some other hay I'm buying for my own cows...

I went to check the cows today and noticed that one of them had a thick red strand of goup coming out of her vagina. I have been around about 15 cows when they are very close to calving and watched them all the way through the calving process. I am used to seeing a clear to greenish mucus plug...

I've got 3 heifers due to calve in the next month. They are all bred. I had a bull with them from March 9th to April 20th. Which would mean they should calve between December 16th and January 27 give or take a week or so. Two of them are springing and have been for a week or so. The other still...

Does anyone know what the penalties are for taking land out of the program before the contract is up?

He is 7 months old and weighs 720lbs. I am planning on using him as my herd bull when he gets older. When the cows come back in cycle after calving he should be a little over a year old.

I've got a calf I'm ready to wean. I want to wean him in the barn and keep him around for a month until the rest are ready to take to the sale barn. If I put him in the barn with feed, water, and hay, how long will it take for him to be weaned? Also how long before the heifer he is out of dries up?

I'm getting this bull calf in a few weeks from a neighbor. He will be around 7 months when we wean him, just depending on when the signs are between the knee's and the feet. I think he will turn out the be a great bull in a few years. He's been trying to do his job since about 4 months old. Lol...

This is the calf out of that heifer I was asking questions about a few months ago. I was worried about her since she was a little young to be having a calf, but she is rasing a good once. I don't know how she will be after I wean him, but maybe she will bounce back and grow alright.

Wanting to buy a heifer in december and keep her with my herd. She won't be old enough to breed for about 5 months. I don't want her to get bred but keeping her in another feild isn't an option. Is there birth control for cows or anything like that? Lol

This may be the wrong place but does anyone know how much an ignition switch would be for a new holland 4835 tractor? I've got an ignition switch shorting out but can't seem to find what I need online. Can anyone help me out? Thanks
