Well my neighbors bull went thru the fence and was on a cow in heat. My bull met him and went to fighting with him. After 5-10 minutes it looked like my bull won the fight and went to finish running him off. He went to hop a small ditch and immediately went down. I thought he maybe had a heart...

Well I had two calves born this morning. Apparently one of my younger cows decided to have her calf right by this washout. Looks like it did get up and walk before it took a plunge but unfortunately didn't have enough strength to stay upright in the 18" of water. At least I did get a nice bull...

So I have a steer I’m feeding out that has seemed to of developed what looks like a hemorrhoid or something else. He is over 1200 lbs and fat as a tick. He is scheduled to be processed Jan 26. Is there possibly a problem I could have with it? Stool is about creamy peanut butter consistency so he...

Had a heifer abort. She is 2 years and 9 months old. Saw her showing labor signs 24 hrs before she actually got the fetus out. I had her originally calving 6 months ago but maybe another possible abortion? I plan on taking her to the sale today or tomorrow. Hope it’s just a cow issue and not any...

So my fairly new Massey 2607h is going to need a clutch soon. I’m at 650 hrs now and I’ve been adjusting the clutch petal stop since 300 hrs. Adjusted for the last time and looking for a new clutch. I could probably get it fixed under warranty but sadly don’t trust my dealer to touch my...

Ok here is what I have. 2 year 4 month old cow with 2 1/2 month calf on her side. Bought her and a few other heifers when they were weaned. The longer I had her the more her crazy showed. I was going to keep her separated and feed her out but she had other plans. Ended up jumping the fence twice...

Dropped this steer off on the 1st. Want to see what yalls guess is on hanging weight. Live weight was 1250. I will find out hanging weight tomorrow when I pick him up. Butcher said he marbled very well. So well that they were having trouble getting the ground meat lean enough. Can’t wait to see...

Calf was born Wednesday morning. I knew it would be a bottle calf because momma didn’t milk her last calf. Momma is going on a trailer soon. Got colostrum in her the morning she was born and she is on a soy based milk right now but have some milk based formula I’m going to transition her on...

I’m feeding out two steers and they started to not eat as much feed and now neither are hardly eating the feed. They are about 1000 and 1100 lbs and worked them up to 25 lbs a day of feed a piece that was about half corn and the other half was a 10% protein sweet feed with a lot of grain in it...

I need to buy a lottery ticket. Had a cow calve yesterday afternoon while I was at work. I knew she was close so I told my wife to check on her when she got home about 7. Had a nice little heifer calf with her. I got home about midnight and wanted to go see how they were doing. Well I found a...

Well 9 months ago I changed out bulls and had a 4 day overlap of both bulls being on the property. I did notice one of my heifers had a limp during that time. She was roughly 6-7 months and I was about to pull her and wean her. Noticed a month ago she was showing signs. I pulled her from the...

Here is my bull I sold last year. I know he is a mutt but he did his job. Just want to get some honest opinions on his flaws and strong point. He is about 2 years old when these were taken.

With all the recent topics of feed costs to getting tags for your trailers it looks like you can put a farm tag on anything. Even got proof. A FARMTAG on the back of a Dodge Viper. I just wonder if farming paid for that Viper.

Pulled the trigger on a new tractor. Didn’t want any emissions to deal with and wanted to stay with a smaller tractor so this is what I came up with. Local dealer couldn’t find one that another dealer would transfer so I found one 4 hours away in Tennessee. Only gripe I have is it’s only a 15...

Help a buddy haul a few off before winter feeding started. Some were on the small side but in good condition. They marked one as short and fat. He sold for next to nothing. Why would this be such a hard hit. This calf just so happens to be full blood brother to the bull in my profile pic. Just...

Ok here is my situation. Cow calved last Tuesday and all seemed well. Went out Wednesday after work and found them doing good. Now since then I haven’t seen the calf and the cow sticks with the herd. Usually around a week the calf is up and following momma but no sign of her. I have searched the...

One heifer I’m keeping from last year. I think she is looking good. What’s y’all’s thoughts? 18 months old and about 3 months bred. Let’s hear your opinions.

Just found a new calf and it has an audible click when it walks. Felt the calf and it’s coming from the left hip. Any clue if maybe something I can fix or is a trip to the vet in order.

Bought two heifers from a friend last year and brought them home and stuck them with the heard. She was 10 months when bred. I should of kept them separated but didn’t. Lesson learned. Thankfully my bull is very light with calves. This little thing may weigh 40 lbs if I’m lucky. Couldn’t have...

I have an old international 986 that has been sitting for about 5 years. It fired up and runs but the clutch has bonded to the flywheel. Pulled the inspection plate and there was water in there so probably just rusted to it. The throw out bearing is moving in full range but just can’t get the...
