    twins

    My gut led me to think that it was anothers cows calf but today the last cow had one. In the time frame, the cow that ate the after birth and had another calf 17 days later would be the only cow that could have had the calf.

    Scotty, you do mean supplement the cows not calves? Would bag feed do the trick.

    low milk production

    I have a bunch of angus cows that just calved about two weeks ago. They dropped good bags just like they always do. In the last couple days I've noticed that all of them,even the best milkers, seems to be drying up. They have always done good on just grass and hay. Since its all of them, I was...

    fesue hay

    Can someone please explain the best time to harvest fesue hay. Last year I was told to cut it right about now by my mentor. He died awhile back and never told me what to look for. The seeds on my hay look like flowers. Does this mean the seeds are not mature yet? If not, how long from this stage...

    cows out

    I live in nc. Is there someone from around here who can put me in touch with a good insurance company for things like this. I've never heard of such. My fences are really pretty good, but some of the cows are just knuckleheads.

If one of these cows were to get hit, would I be liable for the damage done to the car? Who would pay for the cow? Is there any type of insurance that can be purchased for...

    old ford tractor

    I have a 1960 ford 861 diesel tractor. This thing has ran great for the 20 years I have ran it. All of the sudden it starts missing and spitting all in one day. I had the fuel pump rebuilt and replaced the injectors. It still does the same thing. Could I not have the pump timed right? Does...

    New Feeder

    I have built a feeder for my angus calves. They are around one month old. My question is can I paint it or will the paint be toxic to the cows and calves? Oil or latex?

    To much land

    thanks for all the advise. I do have people to mentor me in the area, but they are still farming back in the 1950's. The knowledge i've saw on this board is much more modern and cost effective. My family has cattle on pretty much all of the land around and all they say is " don't waste your money".
