    Home security systems

    I have a dog. A couple of years ago I came home from work and there was a man standing by my pickup, it had been raining most of the day and the guy was drenched but just standing there. So I pull into my garage, park my car and then walk over and see my dog laying a few feet away from the guy...

    Black Friday

    I worked at Walmart several years ago and the computers, printers, and TV's that are sold on Black Friday for cheep are just that, Cheep. They are make just for the Black Friday sales and not the quality of the regular stock. I do not shop Black Friday, in fact I'll be putting out hay for the...

    Heifer mauling new born calves ? Injured new born

    I would give her about 3days to settle down. If she doesn't love her calf after that she would have a 1way trip to town. Heifers are stupid and I don't think they know what the calf is sometimes, but after a few days of the calf nursing she should have a clue and no longer be trying to kill it.

    Just saying hello!

    I would start by taking control of your land. Start charging the guy down the road for pasture lease and limit the number of animals put on it. He doesn't care if your land gets over grazed and turns to dust and weeds, you need to control that. You can tell him how many cows and for what length...

    Calf poop

    The cows teats are most likely plugged, get her in a chute and get the milk flowing. She also looks like she has edema which makes it hard for her to let her milk down. Once you get the teat plugs out, the calf bumping the udder will lessen the edema and the calf should be able to nurse. Don't...

    Contrary

    My first time

    My older dog has gotten skunked several times, and thanks to covid I can't smell it till she is back in the house and has rubbed on everything. I don't bother with the bathes, I have an odor neutralizing room spray that I keep on hand and spray the dog and everything she has gotten on to as well...

    Think she will make milk?

    If you have not tried it, SX Calf works wonders for dehydration from scours. Helps the calf feel better and get back to eating.

    Hi :D

    I would also advise against getting a bull. Even though mini bulls tend to be more mellow than full sized ones, they can still kill you. You also have to think about where you will keep him for the 3-4 months you don't want him with Clementine. He will need to be taken away from her before she...

    Things I absolutely hate.....

    Pretty low tech here. No cell service most of the time so I would have to drive into town to use the cell to take the photo . A friend of mine keeps telling me to make sure I have my cellphone with me when I'm out on the ranch in case a bear or mountain lion attacks me, but I think the gun...

    Things I absolutely hate.....

    I'm going to have to raise my hand on that. I will sit on checks for several weeks, but I live over an hour from town and don't always have time to leave the ranch and make a 2+ hour round trip into town. I guess if it were a large check I'd make the time. I hate when people write a check for...

    Hi y'all

    Actually, a short yearling is just under a year old, (short of a year), a long yearling would be just over a year old. If you normally calve in March, but you have one born in Jan then then the following March she would be a long yearling. Same goes if you calve in March but have one that was...

    Bitcoin News and updates

    A lot of this is just not true. Do you want to buy bitcoin and hold it planning to get rich, no, you buy it to use for something. Don't fool around with the joke coins like shiba, and the multitude of others that I can't even remember the names. You want to get one of the three top coins and use...

    Milk cow questions

    I don't think the Ultimate EZ milker has pulsation and will wreck the cows udder. Do some looking on google and get something with pulsation. The Hantop is small and cheep, also Simple Pulse. I don't think either have the weight to milk a cow out properly, but if calf sharing it won't matter as...

    Stock Investments

    Well, first off I bought bitcoin back in the dark ages when it was two for a penny, then sold some when it went to $60,000 each. You sell when it gets to the point of "how much would I kick myself if it crashed right now". You need to know which coins have utility, or will have utility and buy...

    Stock Investments

    That's why they started using the 2FA. If someone gets into your account, then they would still need to get to your cell phone or email to get your 2FA code. Hackers can get into your regular bank to, and that's all the wallets are, is your crypto bank. You buy you crypto then move it to a...

    Know Your Customer-normally it's a selfie of you holding your DL or passport. You also have to set up a 2FA, which is a 2 factor Identification before you take anything out so no one else can get into your account.

    I like Coinbase the best, you sign up for an account, do your KYC and link it to either your bank account or a credit card. I think there are limits on how much you can buy at first.

    Bred Heifers requiring Nursing Intervention?

    Normally a couple of times in the chute and force them to let the calf nurse is all it takes, if she still won't let it nurse after that then it a one way trip to the locker or sales barn.
