    Tips on keeping skeeters from biting you

    Somone might have said this but bounce drier sheets work great. If they are real bad tuck a sheet in your shirt. I don't know why they work but they do. It's what we use when we fish on the river. If you don't they will eat you alive.

    Horse getting caught in fence

    I'm sure your vet told you this but I would soak his legs with running water a couple times a day for about 10-15 min at a time this will help. If you are not already I would use Nitrofurizone in the cuts and try to keep the flies out of it. I would also get some bute to help with the pain and...

Just watch and see if the calf has any milk on its nose or get the cow up with the calf and watch closely, it would be...

    Constipated calf?

    Is her rear end clean? She may have squirted everything out and still feel like she needs to go just nothing in there to come out. If she is weak I think scours may be your trouble like larryshoat said.

Unless you fertilize heavy with N, have a bad...

    How much "House Wood"?

    a cord of wood is 128 cubic Ft of wood, 4ftx4ftx8ft. We measure firewoods by ricks, a rick is 2ftx4ftx8ft. 1 cord = 2 rick it does depend on how long your sticks are but this is pretty close.
