The vet has always been great (doesn't run out for every little concern but comes when needed) - this time he acted like their really wasn't anything to be done and she'd be fine when the conditions improved. Maybe she got overheated - we have had a run of very hot days - maybe she had a fever...

I have a four year old cow who started acting weird about 10 days ago (staying back from the herd, scratching her nose til it had raw places, snotty nose, not overly excited about feed,etc.). I called the vet and seperated her. He said it sounded like allergies (we are in a SEVERE DROUGHT)...

Great game for Australia - three goals - two in @ five minutes and your first in WC play. Enjoyed your game much more than the US game :roll: Good :Luck - I would love to see the Vzeck Republics's defence go against Brazils offense :lol: Or maybe it was just that the US's offense sucked...

I am trying to come up with a good design for a new corral/holding pen/chute. What are people using to build curved chutes/pens. any pics?? I would love to see pics of any (even with angles). THANKS

I really begin calming my heiffers when I wean them. I start by giving them some type of feed. I make sure they see my bucket - they are used to it already from being with the herd. I give them some in their feeder and stand right by it. If they want the feed they have to come close to me...

Wonder what would happen if we (those in "farming") all decided not to use the "taxpayer money" the government was offering? I bet the government would quit charging us so much for taxes. :idea: :lol: hahahaha

I have wormed my cows with IvomecPlus previously. I was told tonight that Ivomec's patent is over. What products are now available? Has anyone had any esperience? Should I take a sample to my clinic and have it checked for liver flukes? :oops: :help:

I am amazed at what these newborns are selling for at the sale barn. I heard we have bottle calves going at the sale barn for 225-450 :o

I bought several bottle fed calves today this one was born 2-28-06. After I got a good look at him I noticed his naval (don't know the technical term) was infected. There is a small 1-2 cm opening with white puss (not oozing). I cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, flushing thoroughly, and...

What set-up works best (# strands, post type, etc.) Thnaks for the advice.

I am looking for a better option than barbed wire. I am currently running T-posts 20' apart with every 5th wooden - five strands of barbed wire. I am buying an adjoining farm with old woven and barbed wire that is very overgrown with small to medium sized trees. I plan to begin fencing this...

I agree totally!! Do what you can and get it paid for as soon as possible.

We participated in a cost share program lost year with soil conservation and had part of a pond/water system funded. Just like anything else in life when you get something you also loose something. I can't say that it was a "bad" deal. We decided to participate as our ag agent said the money...
