    Ferappease

    I've used FerAppease twice. First time I wasn't impressed with it but realized its ineffectiveness was my fault. I applied it in the alley to 7-8 at a time. I went from the nose up towards the eyes as that was the easiest way. The calves showed no sign of it being effective. I weaned a small...

    Dart guns

    Thanks to NewRenoFarmsInKY...I pumped that rifle up yesterday and darted a calf. It worked perfectly.

    Pneu-dart darts?

    on FaceBook, look up LiveWire Supply. They offer a knock-off or off-brand clear dart. LiveWire is in Nebraksa. Their site says they ship.

    Dart guns

    I never thought about increasing pumps. 4 seemed extreme since this rifle once was effective with 2-3 pumps. It's got some age on it now and it never occurred to me to pump it more times. Thanks. I've been so frustrated with it.

    Dart guns

    No. I dart with Rompum. Knock the calf out then give Draxxin. While the calf is asleep I can treat eyes or whatever the problem is. Seems to be more cost effective. I know of the knob on the rifle but not how to set it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have a Pneu-Dart rifle. Maybe it needs to go back to the company for new seals. Right now, I hate it. It's so unreliable I use Xylazine in a dart instead of an expensive antibiotic because odds are good the dart isn't going into the animal. On the rare occasion a dart makes contact, it seems...

    Drought plan

    my hay guy wants $30 a ton to deliver and it's a 20 mile haul. That pencils out to $30.60 a loaded mile.

    callmefence

    Do you have a fence website? Trying to remember if it's you. My son is building a high tinsel fence and having major issues with the current leaking thru the tubing. He's looking for alternatives to the tubing.

    Minerals!!

    Yes. I made a blanket statement that was incorrect. It's the vitamins that are absolutely china origin. If any of you remember, there was a fire or something in a factory 2-3-4 years ago and mineral prices went thru the roof. and for what it's worth, I'm chocolate cow. I've posted for years on...

    Minerals!!

    My concern over any brand of mineral is where the additives are sourced from. I believe 98% (maybe 100%) come from China. Those vitamins and minerals contain heavy metals like cadmium. I know....the Chinese would never contaminate anything shipped to the U.S.
