I use Spectam pig scour medicine. I just squirt it on the eyeball. Then give them a normal shot of LA200. when I have more than a few break with eye problems I will squirt all the animals with Spectam and it will stop it from spreading.

Get them off fescue (the buyers do better with them). And give them Multi Min. And do NOT get them partially weaned. 6 week minimum. I try my best to not disturb them in any way for 4 weeks(the second round of vaccines), and even then we have times where that is enough to make some break back...

I have 200 St Croix/Katahdin/Dorper crosses for the most part.

Really??.... Teenagers are DUMB. Should never have made the news.

If you take the time to train the dogs a four strand that follows the ground will work fine. Keep the bottom wire 6-8 inches off the ground and then the next 6-8 inches- after that it doesn't matter. Walk the dogs around it on a long leash and let them go sniff it. DO NOT DRAG OR THROW THEM...

put up a high tensile electric fence-- labs are easily intimidated and have long memories. They hit the fence once(and stay on the right side)they won't go near it again. And acre is plenty of room to allow them room to stay away from it. Also solves the digging under problem.

PS- I have never met an Arab over here that I did not like. I know several from Pakistan and once you get them past the idea of "wheelin and dealin" with you I enjoy having them as customers. I know its in their culture to enjoy dickering over price but, I hate it. Also thought there might be...

I am fascinated by the tieing too. Please tell more about that. They sure don't look stunted. but the weight age proportion would sure make you think they should be. How much does a full grown cow weigh? The Arabics I sell to over here do not like any fat cover on their meat. So I have to be...

You have to have the Brewery close by to make Brewers Grain work. Are they bagging it off the truck(as in a silage bag)?

Advice from a dog training background. You need to be feeding her as she goes over and while she is down. I am not sure is it doable to keep the feed in front of where you want her nose the whole time. Try letting her lick a glob of peanut butter? The basis for dog training is that feed comes...

Find a place that is right next to a producer of waste product you can use as feed- preferably in a populated area so you have little competition. I know one guy that has that situation and year in and year out he makes good money-- unlike me :(

It doesn't matter if you list them as a dependent or not-- under 24 parents income is considered, even if the kids has not lived with you in years. Found that out the second time my son went to school. It is better- when my son went(the first and 2nd time) we had low income and high assets. He...

calves eventually go into the fat market- which makes high end cuts. And the buyer will be making money for every lb they put on it(hopefully). cows go into the hambuger/canner market- -- all the low end cuts. And what you buy is what you sell- there is no growing a profit. Hopefully Cows will...

If he is eating and the temp is low hes probably a lunger. Sometimes It only takes hours to damage the lungs. The problem is with cattle is that they just barely have enough lung capacity to function with perfect lungs. So a little damage has a big impact. If this is his problem showing in three...

I'm going to seriously look at Getting just a catastrophic type plan. Something that has a very high deductible. Something to keep from"losing the farm" in the event of a catastrophic type injury or illness. The balance of the money I save will be paid into a account earmarked for medical...

We were .25-.30 higher here Monday.

oh good lord-- its a small country store and I saw everyone that was there that day. I parked next to her as she was getting out- noticed because I have never seen her before, and she looked nice(ie I was admiring her outfit). We were the only two in line to pay- and she caused a fuss getting...

I just realized why I am soo mad at all this crazy stuff. I always knew there were people that took advantage of the system. But they used to "hide" because they knew it was wrong and people would judge them as being wrong- and they didn't want to be judged. Nobody hides anymore.

I wish I could go back to being that generous of thought.

With the primary Dr system. If you want to sue you have to sue the Federal government- you have to prove they knew something that should have gotten the nurse/doctor/staff fired before something bad happened to you. Negligence is the only thing that should be sued for. Bad things happen all the...
