There was a funeral for a local soldier that gave his life for his country in Iraq Saturday. He was from a small town not far from where I live. The local media said there were 250 members of the Patriot Guard and more residents than they could count standing watch so the family would not be...

Your welcome Crowder. My family has never participated in the "program" because of religious convictions. I can't believe the amounts of money some farmers in my home county receive. The extra money would be nice but I couldn't take it with a clear conscience.

Is this what you are looking for?http://www.ewg.org/farm/index.php

Hi okmike, With the older poles that are creosote treated be carefull of the saw dust when you cut them with a chainsaw. My brother came over to help me put up fence, he used the saw most of the time with a shortsleve shirt on and ended up with one of the nastiest rashes I've ever seen. Please...

SD's son-in-law or the bull?

Well, its been 23 days since her last cycle and no signs of another cycle, I guess she's settled. I'll see how she does next time. Thank you all for your help. Toby

I work in research and development for a major truck and engine company. We are certified to meet 2007 emissions and are working already on the next standard which will become law in 2010. With the 2010 standards alot of the air coming out of the engine will be cleaner than what went in. EPA...

I couldn't ask for better nieghbors when it comes to that father and son. I even call the father uncle Frank and my children call him grandpa . I refer to him alot for guidance an he is generous to a fault, but I always attempt to return the favor. God has truly blessed me by putting them near...

My neighbors to the south are from the city and tend to think the whole countryside is a big state park and hunters retreat. I finally caught up with the father one day while he and his boys were running dogs rabbit hunting in my fields. I told him if he wanted to hunt all he had to do was ask...

Thank you all very much for the advice. This goes far beyond what I could ever find in any book and I am soaking it ALL up. I will keep a very close eye on her and hope she settles, she has raised such a nice calf this time I would hate to get rid of her but I very well understand the economics...

Hi Susie, Before I got a bull of my own a friend would let me take my cows to his farm. He charged me $50 a head with feed included for a two month stay. The last time I used his service he even wormed them with the rest of his herd. Toby

I made a big mathmatical mistake. I don't know why I was thinking six pounds, it is more like two pounds, just enough to get them all to the barn every evening so I can look at them. I don't " believe" they are fat I would guess they are between BC five or six, but I'm far from being an expert...

No trouble calving at all, has kept good body condition and milks very well. 3 month old calf weighed 285 a week ago. Thank you for your advice and putting first heifer jitters to rest. Thank you, Toby

I married an Amish gal. You couldn't ask for a better wife and mother!

Thank you jt. If I understand you correctly, how she cycles and breeds back after the second calf is a better measure of a cow than this first time. Hi certherbeef, I feed decent alfalfa/grass hay because my pasture runs alittle short some times I also feed a little grain 6lbs/day per cow with...

Hi everybody, I have been lurking here for several months, and am impressed with the vast knowledge on this forum. I have had cows for several years and have decided it is time to expand my herd. I saved a very nice heifer calf to raise and breed, she had a calf April 29. My question is, she...
