I hope everyone that needed rain got their share over the last few days. Southern Ga and Alabama got a fair amount, I am in SE Alabama and had over 11 inches since Saturday morning. My pastures don't know how to react :)

I was wondering what calving season do most people use in the south east. I am currently leaning towards going to all spring calving, I do like the fact that there is better forage for the cows and calves and the weather is much better and should reduce health issues.

I have a sick calf and the vet made me up 2 shots for her and my wife picked them up tonight and we gave both shots per his instructions and will follow up in 48 hours with a second dose of Neuflor. My wife went to pick it up and she didn't ask him what the other med was. My question is, can...

I had a scare Tuesday afternoon when the vet came over to look at my bull to see what was causing him to drag his right rear hoof. (the vet told me I was seeing things) I was trying to get him out of the holding area he has been in for about 6 weeks and moved to the working pen to let the vet...

This makes the weekends better and you even forget about things like a drought while watching a new calf come into the world. Mama on left comparing notes with a freshly weaned mama. Looking for the grocieries :) Found the Grocieries: And the ole dreaded Angus :lol: :lol:

What will be next, someone telling you to stop your cows from bellowing so early in the morning. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20564433/?GT1=10357

I am a small/hobby farmer as some call it. I need only 60 rolls of hay to maintain the amount of cows I currently own. I am trying a new approach in buying hay. I have noticed alot of hay being cut in the last few weeks, so I have stopped by 6 different farms and asked if they would just sell...

We have had above 100 deg temps here in SE Alabama for about 6 days straight now and I have all my cows coming to the house for water now (best shade in the corral) I notice that all the cows will come to get water around 9-10 am and stay until after 4PM each day and the Chars,Angus and Sims...

I am currently working on a feeder to feed my calves from 45 days before to 45 days after weaning. I was wondering what is the width between the bars on the panel to keep the cows out and let the calves have access to the feed.

The drought here in Alabama is worse than most people realize. http://www.alfafarmers.org/headlines/he ... ml?id=5032 SPARKS: DROUGHT MORE THAN 'ROUGH PATCH' OR 'BAD YEAR' Christy Rhodes Kirk (334) 240-7103 June 08, 2007 MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Commissioner Ron Sparks expresses his increasing...

My coming 3 year old Angus bull has hurt his left leg or hip and has been limping and dragging his leg for over 3 weeks now. I guess he will have to go in someones freezer.I figure he will only bring 60-65 cents per pound at the sale barn. My question is, how will the meat be to eat verses a...

Two of my angus heifer calves My Angus Bull in his working clothes. My 92A char steer calf

My wife and I were working our cattle this weekend and she was operating the head gate and I was walking them down the alley 1 at a time and she would give shots on one side and I would work the other side and spray for flies. Everything was going fine until our 6A (450lb)heifer decided she...

I plan to use Triangle 9+Type II BVD for my cows this year, I know I need to give the calves 2 doses and all cattle an annual booster. My question is: What about the cows that I have been using Cattle Master Gold FP5 on, do I still need to start them with a double dose per directions or can I...

MY favorite (best looking) Char Heifer (#91) finally had a calf today after waiting 5 months from when the others calved. I know she must have aborted her earlier calf, because I had done the blood test and she came back preg with all the others. She had the calf with no trouble and took care...

How long do you have to wait after spraying a field with Roundup, before you can broad cast and disk in Bahia seed. I was thinking the roundup would not affect the seed since it is a topical application. Is this correct???????????

Has anyone seen Caustic lately,,,,,he is flying below radar or on vacation, or actually working. :lol: :lol:

I wonder how the amount of extreme cold weather and snow we are having this year backs up the global warming theory. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17042993/ Jeanne, I bet you don't need all this snow they are predicting.

I have a 27 month old Char heifer that I think is open (waiting for blood test results) and I plan to put her in the freezer verses selling her. The question I have will it do any good to put her on grain at this point (1-2 months of grain??), she weighs around 1200 lbs, or will this just add...

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
