everyone, i'm not trying to be argumentative, but this is something i tell EVERY person i that i hear say it's your "right" to vote (or do anything), i tend to think it's my "privilege". If more people treated this country like they felt it was their privilege to live here and not their right...

many of you might think this is a dumb question...but i always figure there are no dumb questions only dumb people (like me :) ) so here goes... i've always mowed hay with a disc mower but am thinking about getting a mower conditioner - leaves the windrow after you mow it. do you have to rake...

i worked in the packing plant industry for a number of years and i'd tell you there definately can be a difference in taste and tenderness from animal to animal. it's part of the reason that most bulls simply become hamburger. like frankie said, IMF is a large part of the taste/tenderness of...

got you...makes much more sense! :)

i was always under the opinion that the way horses digestive system worked, high quality hay/alfalfa allowed them to stay warmer than any kind of grain - which would include silage i'd think. my gut feel is that you don't want to feed them too much silage, if any. if you can afford it, just...

my wife always talks about a stud her dad had on their ranch in Nebraska, he was very aggressive and territorial and she remembers seeing this stud "watch joe starlite" reach over a fence and grab a calf by the back of its neck then shake and stomp it to death. i don't think aggressive behavior...

well i still kinda think he should sell her, cause i kind of think she has a runty calf on top of everything else, but he seems pretty convinced that he's going to keep her. guess in 5-7 years i'll let you all know how she turned out :tiphat:

a buddy of mine had a heifer that had a breech calf last year and he tells me that it turned a normal cow into a pretty wild one. you basically can't get her in a working chute and she heads for the hills if you show up in the pasture (again he says she wasn't that way before). my attitude...

regarding #2, you're not talking about injecting into the 3rd eyelid like you might penicillin, you're talking about just squirting some la-200 into the eye right? i usually put some puffer on, but i thought next time i might try this instead? so it doesn't hurt to get the la-200 on/in the eye...

i appreciate you showing me that thread, i like learning as much as i can about problems like this - what i gathered most from that post is that i do not have fly rubs, which may be a needed addition. But to clarify my question...does anyone have any experience or opinion on Aureomycin helping...

I've had a tough year this year with pinkeye. Someone who I consider one of the two or three best cattlemen in the world (in MY world that is :) ) told me that Aureomycin helps incredibly in preventing pinkeye - he runs 600 Herefords, has had only 5 cases so far this year, and one of them was...

unless you have some form of equity to pledge (land that's owned free and clear, etc) you're going to need between 25-35% down to secure a loan. many banks/bankers aren't inclined to treat their "customers" like customers anymore and don't expect very many of them to stick with you in good and...

is this just basic riding or is it supposed to lead to something specific like dressage or barrels? (etc,etc) if you could find someone who was working some cattle and needed some eager "cowpokes" just to help hold the herd or to poke along with a real quiet cow that would be a real treat for...

this was GREAT! i actually laughed out loud at the polish cows! :tiphat:

Going to finally get rid of the old steel (sherman tank) of a stock trailer and I'm going to get a 7x24 GN aluminum one. I've been pricing and just curious if anyone has any advice on the three brands of trailers I'm looking at. What I'm seeing is that Sooner is most expensive ($2,400 more)...

this is much funnier than the other chili joke. i was laughing out loud! thanks for sharing it! :tiphat: :clap:

although i'm a day late on the holstein bulls for pets discussion, i'm still going to add my nickel's worth (used to be two cents but inflation has hit us hard :D ) although you said you've made up your mind, i'd suggest getting rid of the boys - castrated or not - and buying some mini...

were these colts from the same stud as well as the same mare? if so, what kind of temper did he have?

Just was curious what everyone's opinion is of how much of a horses temperment is inherited and how much is environment and/or just random. I'm never quite certain what I really think, I think that all in all, I don't figure a horse will be gentle just because it's parents were, but on the other...

i have to agree with hayray. i am NOT suggesting this as a solution, just telling the story - my cowboy/buckaroo brother-in-law helped cure a bucker that i had by riding her, letting her buck and then spurring her into it again and again, she was finally dripping with sweat and ready for him to...
