Thanks for the response guys. I should have posted under grasses and pasture. Noticed that after posting. We have had a couple hard freezes. I will proceed with caution. > Thanks. Rod

I have a field of Grassy Red Clover. It looks like all Red clover now. I had heard that after the freeze cows wouldn’t bloat on Alfalfa. Any one have experience pasturing legumes after the freeze. Thanks Rod

Probably not what the Vet was referring to, but fluid in the brisket can be a sure sign of hardware poisoning. Rod

The calf’s breathing is normal they all breath with little short breaths, looks like they are going a million miles an hour. Cows like their space when calving. I would agree with too much intervention. Congratulations on the new one! ;-)

I would not take the H1N1 especially since it has not been rigorously studied and proven safe both short-term and long-term. Our society is showing the signs of years of injecting materials into the young and old alike. Neurological dysfunction and disorders such as seizure, autism and...

Tiffany Teff> We got as high as 5.1 tons with four cuttings. On poor ground it ran out of energy with two cuttings. ( It sucks up Nitrogen ) The best way we found was to use a brllion to seed, but did OK with a broadcaster. The seed is very small and the seed we used was coated. Still the...

She's a dandy! Hope she produces matching quality for you! Rod

Aaron, You imply to put a value on pasture grass is nuts. To establish permanent pasture takes machinery and implements. My time, sweat and blood maybe free, but Diesel, fertilizer and seed aren’t! Rod

Cow eats 4 ton a year. More on pasture. Rather out of the barn or the pasture, grass has a value. If I figure pasture grass at 50% the value of what I put in the barn. That figures out to $420 grass only. Figure in fuel, minerals, exc. and I would probably be up with Caustic. I donate my...

Was the afterbirth kind of pinkish frothy looking? Dun, You don't say! are you thinking something like Lepto? Rod

removed post, Sorry! Rod

Today the cow had some after birth hanging out. Not fresh looking. Her bag has reduced in size since my first posting. No sign of nursing a calf. After feeding and just before dark I saw her headed across the field by herself and went into the trees. When I caught up with her she was eating pine...

I don’t know Msscamp. One smile face maybe, but two your definitely chuckling at me. That’s OK I have to chuckle myself. I was half expecting to see a calf when I got home tonight. No calf, but the cow has distanced her self from the herd some. I have racked my brain trying to think how she...

Milkmaid, her calf was weaned some time back. She has been dry as a bone. I have had an eye on a bad cut to her back quarter, that has just finished healing and am glad to see she didn’t lose it. Dun, I was kind of thinking along those lines and you got me to go back through my records. The...

That’s just it I am sure on the date because of the order of my records. Plus the computer date would have to be off. February due cows are looking to be on time. I just looked back at my 2008 calendar where I write down days to look for next heat after insemination and going back 21 days it...

I have a cow that is bagged up and springing, yet she is 3 ½ months out. Could this be an indication of some problem? No sign of plug dissolving. I AI ed her and have about 15 cows in front of her so I know the date to be correct on my list. Both hindquarters are dripping milk. I always...

Roger, that heifer is going to have a nice set of cloudstabbers! :nod: For me I like to see horns, milk and a traditional sloped assed easy calver. Not all of us ranchers are blessed with good productive land. My dry land doesn’t produce what it takes for most breeds to perform. I have...

Nothing like the comfort of wood heat. I burn about 3.5 to 4 cords. I have the stove down stairs and used well casing for my stovepipe. It is attached with logging chain to the first story floor and the second story ceiling. No more replacing stovepipe. Rod
