Two of the four newest additions - first one born 6/6. 2nd born 6/12. I think I'll keep the first girl. I really like her mom's disposition. The latest one was born Thursday, but his momma is doing a great job of keeping him hid. I've only gotten a really good look at him once, and...

This board is crowded with folks from Texas, so thought I'd ask a question. Tomorrow I'm taking my two sons - ages 23 and 9 to Texas on a guys trip. I just searched around for cheap flights and Dallas wound up being the place. My oldest wants to wind up in San Antonio for a day or so to do...

This guy was born yesterday. Nursed fine, up and walking quickly and momma (her 2nd calf) walked him a good 1/4 mile. Today my wife called and said he was in the woods and his Mom was all the way up at our front gate mooing and acting kind of agitated. Should I be worried? Pen them...

Dropped two bull calves off by the sale tonight to be auctioned tomorrow. One, I thought would be my herd bull, but I noticed he was developing scurs, so to the sale he went. We'll see what happens. It'll be nice to put a little money in my pocket after 3 years. The good news was the bud...

I’ve got five calves that I separated from their mommas today. I’ve moved them to my little pasture which has a 1 acre area that’s separated from the rest of the pasture. The calves are in the 1 acre lot and there’s a hot wire on both sides of the fence that separates them from the rest of the...

Gave my new bud box and squeeze chute a shot today. First time I've ever used one. Semi-success. My kids were with me - back from college, and I think they spooked the cows a little bit, so we only got 6 of 12 rounded up. Goal was to run them through and ear tag them. I have to these...

I've got a Kubota M4700 that has developed a terrible squeal. Sitting on the driver's seat, I thought it was coming from the left front wheel, but I had a guy over yesterday and after we got it off the ground and spun it, it didn't seem like it was coming from there. So while I drove he walked...

Of the 5 calves I have, 3 are heifers. I'd like to build up to 20-25 cows (have 7 now). Opinions on keeping these 3? Wife's favorite With her mom Pic of her pops My favorite Last choice - don't know about her - sorry that the pic is washed out on this one.

The local cooperative extension agent offered to come out yesterday and help me vaccinate my first set of calves, give shots to two of my cows which have developed pink eye, and de-worm them all. Vet said not to vaccinate the cows since they are in with a bull and it could lower fertility. I...

First – great forum. I’ve learned a ton just reading threads. Here’s my situation. My dad rented his pastures for years as he got older. Now that he has Alzheimer’s, I’ve taken over. Looking at the situation, he was being taken advantage of. It makes much more sense for us to raise...
