Got to my south place yesterday and found a yearling, horned, black Maine bull in with my commercial Red Angus heifers. He's back where he belongs now but we think he had been with my heifers 3 days. Let's assume for argument he bred several. I know nothing about Maines except what I've seen...

Had the worst heifer calving year I could possibly imagine, but had a few that made it good.

This is my shout out to all of you who live in the "North!!" It's 5 degrees with a 21 mph north wind and blowing snow where I am in Oklahoma right now. They say it hasn't been like this since the 1940's here. I'm paying a hand to chop ice this week on my ponds at my south place that's far...

I came home about 72 hours ago now to find a first calf heifer in labor with a breech calf. I worked a while but couldn't push the calf in far enough to find hocks. I decided I needed help and called my vet who responded. When he found hocks he struggled and struggled to pull the breech calf...

What is your experience with preg checking? A vet does all mine. I've had at least 4 vets preg check for me in the last several years. They range from reasonable new to older leading cow vet in the state. The results I get (time bred) never fail to be considerably off with one or many head...

I had a group of 30 3 month old calves to work this morning. I asked my wife to get me another bottle of Covexin 8 last week because I knew I'd run out. They were out so she got Cavalry 9 (Also by Merck). Sure enough, with 5 calves left to vaccinate I ran out. Like an idiot, I grabbed the...

Due to location, there are probably only a very few of you who could help with this. However, my daughter is the new ag teacher at a small school in S central Oklahoma. As show season began, she learned they have virtually no show equipment at all. They don't have a single lamb stand, no...

On Mothers Day, I banded a 3 day old calf that belonged to the most wary cow I own. That being said, even she is reasonably calm and easily handled. After banding, that calf disappeared for 8 days. I have most cows calve on 45 acres I live on. There is probably 3-4 acres of brushy growth...

I've consulted 3 people who should be knowledgeable on this issue and got 3 answers I'll post below. Thought I'd throw the issue out here and see what I get from you all. I AI'd heifers through COBA Select Sires to an RA Brown Red Angus bull yesterday. Those heifers are slotted to be moved to...

I keep cows a pretty significant distance from home through the summer. I fill that pasture with 5 weight stockers. For years I gave Micotil as soon as I got them home, along with all vaccines. Through the years of hearing of deaths associated with Micotil, it scared me off of it. Last year...

Hopefully this image shows up. I need help identifying this so I can spray for it(if possible) this year. It came up in coastal Bermuda just about time for second cut this year. I've always called it cheatgrass but I don't think it really is cheat. My chemical company told me yesterday it...

I spoke to my vet this week about putting out mineral with CTC for stockers this summer. I quizzed him about the safety for horses. He hadn't studied it and was hesitant to give me an answer. He thought it wouldn't be labeled for equine use but thought it would be ok. I'll have 2 to 4 horses...
